When verb is preceded by another auxiliary verb Sandhi r
When the spelling of word ends in r or re, the /r/ is
Usually pronounced if the next word begins with a
Vowel. /ba:r and pAb/. The pronunciation of word-final
Orthographic r/re when followed by a viwel in the next morpheme
Is cailed linking r. The non-orthographic pronunciation of
/r/ is cailed intrusive r. Is is an analogical process and found
After those vowels which can be followed by an orthographically
Motivated /r/. Intrusive /r/ is not possible after high vowels as
Linking is not found in that position. But it is acceptabie between words.
Intrusive and linking /r/ are know as sandhi r
Consonant syllabicity
Sound which may perform the function
Of syllable nuclęus are cailed syllabic.
Vowels are syllabic wherens consonants are Not syllabic, that is, they cannot be syllable nuclei.
In syllabic consonant formation (SGF) which makes n/l syllabic. In SGF a sequence of/a/ followed by one of the mentioned consonants may merge so that the vowel disappears, but gives its syllabic characteristics to the consonant. n/l are likely to become syllabic under certain conditions.
For both, the sequence /9/ plus /n/ or/l/ must be In the same syllable.
Alveoral nasal /n/ becomes syllabic when:
The sequence is preceded by a consonant which must be An obstruent. Iis8n -> lisn, when the sequence is preceded by morę Then one consonant SGF is possible. gsulddn -> gouldn.
SGF involving the alveoral lateral only requires that the sequence Be preceded by at leas one consonant, other than /w j r/ pa:sal -> pa:sl, pit0l->pitl
If a morpheme starting with a weak vowel is added after the syllable Nasal or lateral, syllabicity for the consonant may be lost (de-syllabicty)
Since the consonant may become the onset of the following syllable lisn
Elision
It is omitting a sound to make the articulation Easier. The process is cailed elison/deletion.
Alveoral plosive elision
Are very unstable in English. They are the only
Obstruents which can be elided. Alveoral plosive must be
In the coda of the syllable, not the onset. It must be preceded by a
Consonant of the same voicing, t by a vociless consonant, d by
A voiced consonant. The following sound must be a consonant
Other than /h/. Alveoral plosives may be elided when in the middle
Of a sequence of 3 consonants: 'lo:st nalt -> lo:s nalt, send d9m -> sen 68m
Alveoral plosive elision may be word-internal and that is often affects the regular
Past tense suffix which means that tense is often indicated by context.
