Diction definition

Diction means the proper pronunciation of words when singing.
Diction means word choice, the precise words we use to convey our intended meaning. We are not, however, always as precise as we would wish. We may confuse words that sound alike, or have similar meanings. In some dialects of English this is not a problem, but Standard English tries to keep clear distinctions between such “diction demons.” Because many terms sound alike, they can also cause spelling problems even when the writer knows the accepted definition of the terms. You should be able to define, spell, and use correctly the following terms.
