Phonetics and Phonology I

In this episode, we will review 4 major units: Adjustments, Stress, Prominence and Intonation. I hope you find it useful! I leave here some information that is important for today's episode: ADJUSTMENTS: Yuxtapositional assimilation: TDN → PBM (before PBM) TDN → KGŋ (before KGŋ) SZ → ʃʒ (before tʃ, dʒ and ʃ) and also /j/ in double adjustment turns into ʃ or ʒ Coalescent assimilation: T + J = tʃ (for example, eat your snack) D + J = dʒ (for example, did you) S + J = ʃ Z + J = ʒ Elision : Inside/word boundaries and consonant sounds at inside and word boundaries → C + V + C When /ə/, /ʊ/ and /ɪ/ are preceded or followed by /l,r,n/ When /m,n,ŋ/ + /tən/,/dən/ we tend to retain the vowel. Eg → /lʌndən/ /tn/, /tnC/*,/-dnt/,/ʃnC/, /ʃn/,/ʒn/,/pl/, /kl/, /fl/, /dl/, /tl/, /ʃl/ , /zl/ *The C in capital letters means "consonant". In order to check examples of STRESS, PROMINENCE and INTONATION , you can access to the following DOC: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kXaPaIQGKq2jZ7ap5e6uC2mJHwX1Yc7XmJ-reh8_4_A/edit?usp=sharing
