ORTHOËPY.

1. =Orthoëpy= or =Correct Pronunciation=, is the utterance of words

with their right sounds and accents, as sanctioned by the best usage.

It depends principally upon =Articulation=, =Syllabication=, and

=Accentuation=.

2. =Articulation= is the distinct utterance of the elementary vowel and

consonant sounds of the language, whether separate, or combined into

syllables and words. In pronouncing a word its elementary sounds should

be correctly articulated.
