CONTEMPORARY LINGUISTIC TRENDS IN THE STUDY OF TONGUE TWISTERS

Abstract

This article examines the fact that modern linguistic trends require us to consider tongue twisters not within the confines of a single scientific field, but at the intersection of several scientific paradigms. Today, tongue twisters have become objects of study in phonetic-phonological analysis, articulatory phonology, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, cultural linguistics, pedagogical linguistics, and even computational linguistics. The reason for this is simple: tongue twisters, although short, engage multiple levels of the linguistic system, operating simultaneously.
