Abstract

Performance was discussed in rhetoric for centuries, and then it was separated from rhetoric and became a separate discipline. According to classical rhetoricians, delivery is one of the five tasks of the orator. Cornificius discusses eight types of delivery, to which he adds eight types of body movements. In the history of 20th-century Hungarian rhetoric, the field of delivery became almost the sole dominant field after Zoltán Kodály’s 1937 radio lecture (On the deterioration of Hungarian pronunciation). The mode of delivery can be either verbal or non-verbal. Verbal means verbal, realised with words. Non-verbal refers to the vocal, i.e. phonetic, elements accompanying words on the one hand, and body movement or body language on the other. The paper briefly describes the speech errors, discusses pronunciation errors in detail, and provides concrete examples and advice to help improve speaking technique. Understanding the theoretical background is important for the training of speakers and actors.
