Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Elision •

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Elision • Sounds in context – in touch (immediate neighbours); • Sounds /t/ & /d/; voiced & voiceless alveolar plosives; • Context = consonant chain/string (usually 3 consonant sounds);

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Elision • Context = consonant chain/string (usually 3 consonant sounds); • Sounds /t/ & /d/ are sandwiched and are not pronounced – they are elided • E. g. cost me five pounds you and me stopped for a drink must be him

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (of voicing) • Endings/suffixes –s/es & -ed • How do we pronounce them? • If preceded by a voiceless sound, they will be pronounced as /s/ & /t/; • If preceded by a voiced sound, they will be pronounced as /z/ & /d/

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (of voicing) • If preceded by a voiceless sound, they will be pronounced as /s/ & /t/; • If preceded by a voiced sound, they will be pronounced as /z/ & /d/ - They represent the notion of assimilation of voicing (a voiced sound wants to be next to another voiced one and the same goes for voiceless sounds)

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (of voicing) • Modal construction HAVE TO • How do you pronounce it? • Due to the influence of voiceless /t/, voiced /v/ which precedes its will become voiceless /f/ https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=IC-m.

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (of manner of articulation) • Illustrated via voiced, dental fricative /ð/ • If preceded by /l/, the mentioned sound, /ð/ itself becomes /l/, e. g. file the documents • If preceded by /n/, /ð/ itself becomes the mentioned alveolar nasal, e. g. in the living room

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (of place of articulation) • Prominent contexts: • If followed by bilabial sounds, alveolar sounds /d/, /t/ and /n/ can become bilabials, e. g. that ball (/t/ becomes /b/; cold miner (/d/ becomes /m/); https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=i_ohrk.

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (direction of alteration) • We can differentiate between: • progressive & regressive assimilation • If the first sound of the two neighbours affects the second sound, the process is progressive, e. g. book+s (ending is pronounced as /s/ since /k/ is voiceless)

Anglistics Study Programme Weeks 13 & 14 Elision & Assimilation/-s Elaborated • Assimilation (direction of alteration) • We can differentiate between: • progressive & regressive assimilation • If the second sound of the two neighbours affects the first sound, the process is regressive, e. g. good boy (alveolar /d/ becomes bilabial /b/, under the influence of the neighbor /b/)
