Lie
A lie is a statement that is known or intended by its source to be misleading, inaccurate, or false. The practice of communicating lies is called lying, and a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may be employed to serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. In certain situations, however, lying is permitted, expected, or even encouraged. Because believing and acting on false information can have serious consequences, scientists and others have attempted to develop reliable methods for distinguishing lies from true statements.
Legato
In music performance and
notation,
legato (
Italian for "tied together"; French
lié; German
gebunden) indicates that musical notes are played or sung smoothly and connected. That is, the player makes a transition from note to note with no intervening silence. Legato technique is required for
slurred performance, but unlike slurring (as that term is interpreted for some instruments), legato does not forbid
rearticulation. Standard notation indicates legato either with the word
legato, or by a slur (a curved line) under notes that form one legato group. Legato, like
staccato, is a kind of
articulation. There is an intermediate articulation called either mezzo staccato or non-legato (sometimes referred to as "
portato").
