Pronunciation refers to the way in which a word is spoken or the way in which the sounds of a language are produced. Articulation, on the other hand, refers to the clarity and precision with which individual speech sounds are produced, involving movements of the tongue, lips, and other articulators to shape sounds. In essence, pronunciation focuses on the overall sound of words, while articulation delves into the specific movements needed to produce sounds accurately.

Articulation refers to the physical movements of the speech organs to produce speech sounds, phonation is the vibration of the vocal cords to produce sound, and speech is the overall expression of sounds, including articulation and phonation, to convey language.
The New England accent is an American accent characterized by non-rhoticity (dropping the "r" sound at the end of words) and fronted vowels. BBC English, also known as Received Pronunciation, is a British accent associated with the British upper class and is characterized by a lack of regional variations, clear articulation, and specific vowel sounds. The main difference lies in pronunciation, intonation, and regional influences.
Pronunciation and enunciation both refer to the was people say words. The only major difference is that pronunciation focuses on the sounds you make in the syllables, while enunciation focuses on how clearly you say them.
The place of articulation refers to where in the mouth a speech sound is produced, such as the lips, tongue, or palate. The manner of articulation refers to how the airflow is obstructed or modified when producing a speech sound, such as stops, fricatives, or nasals. The relationship between the two is that the place of articulation and the manner of articulation work together to create different speech sounds by combining where and how the airflow is manipulated in the mouth.
