FACTORS INFLUENCING PHONEME MODIFICATION IN CONNECTED SPEECH
Abstract
Abstract
Phoneme modification is a fascinating aspect of linguistics that involves the
alteration of phonemes, the smallest units of sound in a language, when they are
connected in speech. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in creating a fluid and
effortless flow of communication. By examining the intricacies of phoneme
modification, we can gain insights into the complexities of spoken language and
appreciate the diversity of human communication. Modification of phonemes in
connected speech is a fascinating area of study within the field of linguistics that
explores how speech sounds change when spoken in continuous, connected utterances.
This phenomenon plays a crucial role in our everyday communication, as it affects the
clarity and intelligibility of spoken language.
