Intonation, Pronunciation, Enunciation, and Inflection
Intonation is the rise and fall of the voice in speaking.
Pronunciation is the way in which a word is pronounced. The pronunciation of different words depends on accent, manner of speaking, speech, diction, delivery, elocution, and the intonation learned by the individual.
Elocution is the skill of clear and expressive speech with distinct pronunciation and articulation. It can also be a particular style of speaking.
Enunciation is the ability to say or pronounce words clearly.
Inflection is the modulation of intonation or pitch in the voice. It helps determine the pitch of each syllable in a word and helps with pronunciation and enunciation.
When speaking or reading out loud, clarity of individual words depend on the inflection of each syllable in the word. Inflections in a phonetic syllable is determined by the presence or absence of an apostrophe and whether or not it is in bold or regular print.
An inflection can be in a low, medium, or high tone. A single word may have up to three different inflections. One-syllable words and syllables that have only a low inflections are not marked: cat, rat , dog, run go.
