Abstract
The chapter focuses on specialized communication and, more exactly, the use of technical terms between laypersons and experts of dancing. The phonetics of German is regarded as a resource for conveying specialist knowledge via the speech organs activated in the articulation of sounds, vowel quantity and quality during pronunciation training. Using material from a series of workshops, it can be demonstrated how the learner - the contemporary dancer - relates the specialist knowledge from the field of German phonetics to the specialist knowledge about the qualities of movement, and how s/he includes body movement in the pronunciation training which becomes a performative practice.
