Pronunciation
Definition:
(n.) The act of uttering with articulation; the act of giving the proper sound and accent; utterance; as, the pronunciation of syllables of words; distinct or indistinct pronunciation.
(n.) The mode of uttering words or sentences.
(n.) The art of manner of uttering a discourse publicly with propriety and gracefulness; -- now called delivery.
Example Sentences:

(3) This tape was then 'scored' for accuracy of pronunciation by 10 experienced clinical psychologists who use the NART in their routine clinical practice.
(4) Both young and older adults participated in a delayed pronunciation task to trace the time course of lexical access and a semantic priming task to trace the time course of spreading activation.
(5) If phonologically ambiguous, either both pronunciations were real words or only one was, the other being a nonword.
(6) Of the seven functional exercises used, the pronunciation of the words "phone," "mom," and "church" and the exercise of swallowing were replicable over time.
(7) These results suggest that mastery of pronunciation seems to be a crucial factor in producing a shift of visual field advantage.
(8) The longitudinal data suggest that early processes applied to polysyllabic words may be predictive of later pronunciation skill for the production of continuous speech.

(10) A study of 11 Chinese neurological patients with reading disorders indicates that reading aloud a non-alphabetic script, like reading alphabetic scripts, can be accomplished using two distinct routines: one that associates a whole written word with its complete pronunciation, and one that utilizes parts of the written word.

(16) The method is based on the use of the stressed ("accentuated") syllable as a therapeutic tool to develop pronunciation and a natural attractive voice.
(17) Balota and Chumbley's studies led them to conclude that category verification, lexical decision, and pronunciation tasks involve combinations of processes that cause them to produce differing estimates of the relation between word frequency and ease of lexical identification.
