Intonation is another word for tuning. Having good intonation is playing all notes in tune alone and with others. See Tuning Tendancies more more information.

the correctness of the tuning of strings at each fret position.

Literally this means pitch, or using pitch. One who speaks with intonation uses pitch variations (presumably to help convey meaning). In our discourse of dealing with music, however, it has taken on a connotative meaning of describing pitch. When we refer to intonation we are often speaking of pitch accuracy or of relating to a pitch being produced. This is just how the word is often used in context. Similarly, intonation can also mean tuning, as in how an instrument is tuned. For example, sometimes a guitarist will say his guitar's "intonation is out." In this context he means that his instrument will not play in tune with itself.

this refers to the rises and falls of a person's voice to convey meaning

The instruments ability to play in tune at various positions through out the neck.

the degree to which a performer sings or plays in tune; accuracy of pitch in musical performance

Refers to pitch. If he or she has "bad intonation," they sing either flat or sharp.

The ways in which the voice pitch rises and falls in speech.

as a general music term, this refers to the ability to play or sing on pitch; for our purposes as guitar makers, intonation refers to how a given instrument plays in tune with itself; a guitar string should produce the same note played as a harmonic at the 12th fret as it does when you fret that string at the same place; when a repairperson setting up a guitar puts it on a scope (strobe tuner) that compares the 12th-fret harmonic with a fretted 12th-fret note, he's checking its "intonation".

The use of pitch in speech to create contrast and variation

the extent to which a performed pitch matches the correct pitch.

the initial portion of a piece--usually two or three words--sung by a soloist to establish the pitch.

The degree of adherence to correct pitch by a given instrument; good intonation suggests close approximation of the pitch; poor intonation implies the opposite (horn players, unlike pianists, have the ability to adjust their intonation by pushing in or pulling out their mouthpieces as well as by adjusting their embouchure).

The rising and falling tones of the voice over an utterance. For example rising at the end of an utterance may be the only indicator of a question. ITE Hearing aids worn in the ear.

The way the level of a speaker’s voice changes, often to show how they feel about something, e.g. if they are angry or pleased. Intonation can be rising or falling or both.

Singing through one's nose. Considered highly desirable in the Middle Ages.

the accuracy of pitch with respect to the musical background.

The aspect of speech made up of changes in stress and pitch in the voice.

Refers to the guitars ability to play in tune at various positions along the neck. Often adjusted by adjusting the bridge saddle.

the distinctive patterns of pitch that contribute to the meanings of spoken phrases and sentences, as between commands and questions such as "Go now!" and "Go now?"; intonation pattern. See also pitch.

Literally, the word means "pitch", or the use of pitch. In musical terms, intonation often refers to pitch accuracy; often time the word is used in such context as, "That violin's intonation is off," which translates into, "the instrument is not in tune with itself." In vocal terms, human beings use pitch variations to help convey meaning or emotion.

In linguistics, intonation is the variation of pitch when speaking. Intonation and stress are two main elements of linguistic prosody.

Intonation, in music, is a player's realization of pitch accuracy in music to oneself and across an ensemble. If musicians have "bad intonation", it means they play or sing out of tune. Intonation can also mean tuning.
