Explain the difference between pronunciation and articulation

What will be an ideal response?


Pronunciation is the knowledge of how letters in a word should sound and the
recognition of where stress properly falls when that word is spoken. Many people have heard
the joke of putting the "emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAable." Articulation, on the other hand, is
the mechanical process of forming the necessary sounds to communicate in a given language.
Most articulation errors are made from habit.
