Listening is a broad term used to refer to affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes.

Affective processes include the motivation to attend to others.

Cognitive processes include understanding, receiving, and interpreting content and relational messages.

Behavioral processes include responding with verbal and nonverbal feedback.

Listening differs from obeying.

Parents, for example, may commonly conflate the two
by telling a disobedient child that he "didn't listen to me".

A person who receives and understands information or an instruction
and then chooses not to comply with it or to agree to it
has listened to the speaker,
even though the result is not what the speaker wanted.


Listening is a term in which the listener listens to the one who produced the sound to be listened.


Pronunciation is the way a word or a language is spoken or the manner in which someone utters a word.

If one is said to have "correct pronunciation" then it refers to both within a particular dialect.

A word can be spoken in different ways by various individuals or groups depending on many factors,
such as:
the duration of the cultural exposure of their childhood,
the location of their current residence,

speech or voice disorders,
their
ethnic group,
their
social class,
or their
education.
