elocution
의미: The skill of clear, expressive speaking, with particular attention to pronunciation, voice projection, and delivery. Also, the formal study or teaching of such skills.
Elocution carries distinctly British class connotations. Elocution lessons were historically associated with social aspiration — training regional accents out of working-class speakers to help them 'speak properly.' This gives the word a slightly old-fashioned, even loaded quality. It is distinct from oratory (persuasive content) in focusing on the mechanics of vocal delivery rather than rhetorical substance.
