the physical movements and coordination of speech organs, such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords, to produce speech sounds
Articulation refers to the physical process of producing speech sounds by using various parts of the vocal tract, including the tongue, lips, teeth, and palate. This process involves the precise movement and positioning of these articulators to create different sounds. For example, the "t" sound is articulated by placing the tongue against the alveolar ridge, while the "b" sound involves bringing both lips together. Articulation is important in phonetics because it helps to define how different sounds are made and can affect pronunciation, clarity, and understanding in spoken language.

Articulation in music refers to the way notes are played or sung, including how they are started, sustained, and ended. It affects the clarity and style of the performance. Articulation is indicated by various symbols and terms, such as staccato, which means to play notes short and detached, or legato, which means to play notes smoothly and connected. Articulation helps to shape the expression and phrasing of the music, guiding performers on how to interpret the notes and create the intended musical effect.
