Next, a resonant bass voice said with a sort of indolent incisiveness: "Aphon or aphonia means loss of speech to the extent of, to the extent of oh, to WHAT extent, most learned Vera Vasilievna?" "To the extent of total loss of power of articulation," replied a voice feminine and youthful of timbre.
The whole was tied up for the benefit of this child, who, in occasional visits with his father and mother at Norland, had so far gained on the affections of his uncle, by such attractions as are by no means unusual in children of two or three years old; an imperfect articulation, an earnest desire of having his own way, many cunning tricks, and a great deal of noise, as to outweigh all the value of all the attention which, for years, he had received from his niece and her daughters.
Two whole candles they burnt out, or near upon it." "Where? " Edward's articulation choked. "Where they're gone to, sir? That I do not know. Of course she will come back." The landlady begged him to wait; but to sit and see the minutes the black emissaries of perdition fly upon their business, was torture as big as to endure the tearing off of his flesh till the skeleton stood out.
Attention should be paid to articulation from the very first. A useful lesson is taught the class if, from time to time, half of them go to the end of the room, and, with closed books, listen to their companions singing a verse of a song which is new to them. The difficulty they experience in following the words will not soon be forgotten. Attacks should be absolutely precise.
Nay, we ourselves hear, as the curtain rises on that ideal representative form of human suffering, the wild intonation of that human defiance mounting and singing above the thunder, and drowning all the elemental crash with its articulation; for this is an experiment which the philosopher will try in the presence of his audience, and not report it merely.
At every step in the application of the method, the principles which underlie and govern perfect articulation, serve as the foundation of the instruction. As has been so often stated in this book, these principles of speech never change. They apply to all persons alike, and all who talk normally apply these principles in the same manner.
At a certain stage of study, when the student of the voice has acquired freedom and control, when he is able to release the face, jaw, tongue, and throat from all local effort or contraction, at this stage of study it is wonderful what can be done in the way of articulation in a few days, by this system.
For it will of ten be found that the originator of a science and even his latest successors remain attached to an erroneous idea, which they cannot render clear to themselves, and that they thus fail in determining the true content, the articulation or systematic unity, and the limits of their science.
Anything rather than that awful silence. Twice she moved her white lips, but no sound came. The power of articulation seemed gone. Then she caught him by the arm, and turned him slowly round so that he faced his cottage.
Even so simple and, one would imagine, so invariable a sound as m differs in the two languages. In a Russian word like most "bridge" the m is not the same as the m of the English word most; the lips are more fully rounded during its articulation, so that it makes a heavier, more resonant impression on the ear.
