Definition: Assimilation is the change in pronunciation of a phoneme under the influence of its surrounding sounds. Ex: 1. news /njuz/ but newspaper /njuspeip/ 2. This year / ij ji/ 3. Want to / wn/
ASSIMILATION2
directions of assimilation Including:1/Regressive assimilation2/Progressive assimilation
ASSIMILATION2
directions of assimilation 1/Regressive assimilation: The phoneme that comes first is affected by the one that comes after it. Example: That person /p'psn/ bright color /braik 'kl/ light blue /laip blu/.
2/Progressive assimilation: The phoneme that comes first affects the one that comes after it. Example: in the /in / -> /inn/ get them/get m/ ->/gettm/Read these /ri:d i:s/ ->/ri:ddi:s/
