  9. Allophonic processes • Different allophones of the same phoneme • Usually within the word, but also across word boundaries

  10. Casual speech (fast speech) processes • = phonostylistic processes • Speakers tend to make their pronunciation easier and faster • On the phonostylistic level • This involves the change of phonemes • Different phonemes as a result • Not just different realizations of phonemes (=allophones)

  11. Casual speech processes • Assimilation • Place of articulation • (Manner of articulation) • (Voicing) • Elision • Liasion

  12. Surprises of connected speech: Polish • grat /græt/ • grad /græd/

  13. Surprises of connected speech: Polish t b

  14. Surprises of connected speech: Polish t b

  15. Surprises of connected speech: Polish t b

  16. Surprises of connected speech: Polish

  17. Assimilation • A phoneme may be realised differently as a result of being close to some other phoneme belonging to a neighbouring word • Principle the same as in coarticulation • But results in phonemic change

  18. Assimilation • In Polish, mainly voicing assimilation • From right to left – regressive assimilation

  19. Regressive assimilation • regressive/ anticipatory assimilation -if Cf (consonant final) becomes more like Ci (consonant initial) then we have to do with progressive assimilation; • The influence comes from Ci:Cf │< Ci

  20. Progressive assimilation • progressive/ perserverative –if Ci (consonant initial) becomes more like Cf (consonant final) then we have to do with progressive assimilation; influence comes from Cf │>Ci

  21. Assimilation • We distinguish assimilation of: • place of articulation • manner of articulation • voicing

  22. Assimilation: Polish

  23. English assimilation • Huge problem: English doesn’t have much voicing assimilation • It prefers place assimilation
