#voice

• Active — Acting in a dynamic manner, producing transformations, or manifesting sustained energy; (in economics) the total economic assets and property rights owned by an entity; (in grammar) the voice in which the subject performs the action expressed by the verb. This structural concept defines the state of operability, efficiency, and direct involvement in a system.
• Equale — Equale; a short musical piece written for an ensemble of identical instruments or equal voices, historically used in Austria and Germany starting from the 18th century, especially during funeral ceremonies or religious processions. As a Latin adjective, it indicates a state of structural equality or rhythmic uniformity in an old choral composition.
• Tone-deaf — A person lacking musical ear, unable to correctly perceive sound pitch or reproduce a melody; medically, it refers to an individual affected by aphonia (loss of voice). Informally, it describes someone completely incompetent or ignorant in a specific field.
• Tone-deaf (female) — Feminine form of 'afon'. It designates a female lacking a musical ear, unable to perceive sound pitch or reproduce a melody; clinically, it describes a woman who has lost her voice due to a laryngeal condition. Informally, it highlights a female completely ignorant in a field.
• Aphonic — Relating to aphonia; characterized by the total or partial absence of voice or articulated sound. In medicine, it describes a person who can only whisper due to physical or psychological laryngeal conditions. In acoustics, it applies to voiceless sounds produced without vocal cord vibration.
• Aphonia — Total or partial loss of voice, caused by diseases of the larynx, vocal cords, recurrent nerves, or psychological factors (such as a powerful emotional shock). In medical practice, the affected patient retains the ability to articulate words, but communication occurs exclusively through whispering.
• To devoice — To deprive of sound, echo, or sonorous properties; to transform a voiced sound into a voiceless one by stopping the vibration of the vocal cords. In modern acoustic engineering, the term is used very rarely to describe the complete attenuation of sound emissions.
• Agentive — Expressing or indicating the agent of an action; a semantic or morphosyntactic category specific to propositional elements that designate the conscious and voluntary author of the state expressed by the verb. It applies to nouns, complements, or suffixes that define the entity performing the deed.
• Aius Locutius — A term with historical or mythological resonance, most often associated with the Roman deity 'Aius Locutius' (the speaker or divine voice that announced dangers); by rare literary extension, it can designate a mystical warning, a mysterious voice, or a structural element related to ancient oracles. In other specific contexts, it may represent a specialized technical, medical, or legal acronym.
• other — A structural word utilized to indicate a person, object, or reality distinct, different, or supplementary to the one previously mentioned. As a neuter noun in music (alto), it defines the lowest female (or boy's) singing voice, ranging between soprano and tenor, or the musical instrument corresponding to this pitch register (such as the viola or alto saxophone).
• Altus — A historical term taken from Latin designating the alto vocal or instrumental register (middle voice) in medieval and Renaissance polyphonic music; as a Latin adjective, it means 'high' or 'deep', frequently used as a root or compounding element in scientific terminology (botany, zoology, meteorology).
• Antipassive — A voice or grammatical construction specific to ergative languages through which a transitive verb changes its syntactic structure, transforming the ergative subject into an absolutive subject, while the direct object (patient) is either completely eliminated or demoted to an oblique or instrumental case. This structural mechanism reduces verb valency and shifts the communication focus from the action's result to its execution.
• Apsithyria — A very rare medical and psychiatric term historically used in old clinical treatises as a variant or transcription error for 'apsithyria'; a severe form of hysterical aphasia or conversion disorder where the patient completely loses the ability to whisper or emit any vocal sound, although the structural speech apparatus is intact.
• Audiophonology — An interdisciplinary branch of medicine and behavioral sciences dealing with the integrated study of hearing, vocal emission mechanisms, and verbal communication disorders; the science of audition and phonatory correlation. The field combines knowledge from otolaryngology, neurology, acoustics, and logopedics.
• Audio chess — A digital system, software application, or game variant designed to allow chess matches to be played through sound commands and speech synthesis, primarily used to make the sport accessible to blind or visually impaired individuals. Moves are announced aloud using standardized coordinates, removing the need for visual interaction.
• Autodiegetic — Designating a type of narrator who is at the same time the protagonist, the main character of the narrative text; relating to first-person narrative where the storyteller recounts their own experiences lived within the fictional universe.
