==Origin==
[[Latin]] ''articulatus'' jointed, past participle of ''articulare'', from ''articulus'' (see [[article]])
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1586]
==Definitions==
*1a : divided into syllables or [[words]] meaningfully arranged : intelligible
:b : able to [[speak]]
:c : [[expressing]] oneself readily, [[clearly]], or effectively <an articulate teacher>; also : expressed readily, clearly, or effectively <an articulate [[argument]]>
*2a : consisting of segments united by joints : jointed <articulate animals>
:b : distinctly marked off
==Description==
In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory graph theory], a biconnected component (or 2-connected component) is a maximal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconnected_graph biconnected subgraph]. Any connected graph decomposes into a tree of biconnected components called the block tree of the graph. The blocks are attached to each other at shared vertices called cut vertices or '''articulation points'''. Specifically, a cut vertex is any vertex that when removed increases the number of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_component_(graph_theory) connected components].
In [[music]], '''articulation''' refers to the musical direction [[performance]] [[technique]] which affects the [[transition]] or [[continuity]] on a single [[note]] or between multiple notes or [[sounds]].
There are many [[types]] of articulation, with each having a [[different]] [[effect]] on how the [[note]] is played. Some articulation marks include the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slur_(music) slur], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(music) phrase mark], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staccato staccato], staccatissimo, accent, sforzando, rinforzando, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legato legato]. Each articulation is represented by a different symbol placed above or below the note (depending on its position on the staff).
