It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
MODULA'TION, n. [L. modulatio.]
The act of modulating, or the state of being modulated; as, the
modulation of the voice.
Sound modulated; melody.
[R.]
Thomson. A change of key, whether
transient, or until the music becomes established in the new key; a
shifting of the tonality of a piece, so that the harmonies all center
upon a new keynote or tonic; the art of transition out of the
original key into one nearly related, and so on, it may be, by
successive changes, into a key quite remote. There are also sudden
and unprepared modulations.
