I'm studying for exam and I can't understand what's the difference between Articulation, Enuncitaion, Pronunciation, and dialect.

Okay here goes my best understanding; articulation = actually speaking, the sounds you make when speaking; [He articulated his point of view in a well-formed speech.] enunciation = how you speak, the way the sounds come out [He enunciated his words very carefully.] Pronunciation = correct speech, the sounds come out the correct way [He pronunciated the "ow" sound incorrectly.] dialect = speech that changes with geography, ethnic differences, or cultural difference, the sounds come out differently [People in Southwestern Pennsylvania pronounce the word "iron" as "arn".] I hope that is those are the differences your exam is looking for, those words can also have a historical difference. Good Luck!

As I understand it, pronunciation means how a word sounds, which can have little to do with how it's written (think "Arkansas") and can vary by region (eg "aluminium" vs "aluminum"). Enunciation and articulation are the same to me - it means saying all the syllables of the word clearly - "New York" instead of "Nyork". A dialect means a variation of a language by region. It can include different spellings of words and even different words. Accent refers to how words are spoken. Probably a dictionary can give you a more accurate description.
