Subject: Mondzetting


Beste LL-luiden,

Al jarenlang gebruik ik het woord "mondzetting" om aan te geven dat ik met 
mond, neus, lippen, keel en tong andere standen en bewegingen maak, al naar 
gelang het de taal of taalvariant betreft.
Vb Oorspronkelijk spreek ik Zand-drents, heb op school Zuid-west drents 
moeten leren
het z-w drents spreek ik alleen goed als ik meer expliciet mijn lippen tuit 
en mijn mondhoeken verder uiteen beweeg, vergeleken met het meer 
binnensmondse Zand-drents.
Ook het spreken van Hoog-Duits is niet erg van echt te onderscheiden, zolang 
ik mijn mond breder en mijn lippen getuiter beweeg
Zo spreek ik Frans meer met neus en lippen en voor de r gebruik ik de keel.
Zo ook het verschil tussen de verschillende engels varianten.

Toen ik zocht om hier meer over te weten te komen, kon ik het woord 
mondzetting nergens vinden. Ik heb ook nog nooit iemand het woord horen 
uitspreken Bestaat het woord of heb ik dat zelf bedacht?
Wat zijn zoekwoorden die mijn "mondzetting" weergeven?
Ik hoop dat iemand mij kan helpen.

In explaining the difference in the way I use my mouth, lips, tongue, nose 
and throat in different languages and variants of languages I always use the 
dutch word "mondzetting'
I tried to find out more about the whole phenomenon, I just described. I 
then discovered that I could not find the word "Mondzetting". I wonder if it 
is an existing dutch word or that I possibly invented the word, in trying to 
make my stories clear to others.
So my questions are:
Is mondzetting an official dutch word? Or may be an own translation out of 
other languages?
Can somebody tell me where I can find more information about the pnenomenon?
I realize that a lot of partial questions are answered almost everyday on 
this list. What I mean is that speaking another language went almost 
automatically the day I discovered that instead of training every new word I 
studied, I could systematically learn easier by recognising the way in which 
native speakers worked with their mouth, lips and so on.
