👉 The term "nonpronunciation" is used in linguistics and communication studies to describe a situation where a speaker makes no effort or attempt to pronounce their words, words they have learned or are fluent in. This can occur due to a lack of practice, a misunderstanding of the language's pronunciation rules, or simply because a person may not be able to hear the word clearly. In some cases, nonpronunciation is also related to communication disorders such as dyslexia or ADHD.
