Basics

It may be possible to discuss questions like these, not using terms already coined and used for decades, but you are not making it easy.
Pitch refers to relation of level to longitudinal axis.
AoA refers to relation of actual airflow to the mean aerodynamic chord, or MAC.
Flaps out gives higher AoA and slats out reduces AoA.
