The lesson looks somehow difficult, but your way of explaining makes it so easy.

[@haniyehart5804]

[nd] → [n] (cluster reduction, elision) [pp] → [p] (cluster reduction, elision, degemination) [st] → [s] (cluster reduction, elision)

Great lesson!!! I have a question...could assimilation and epenthesis happen at the same time? For example in: Careful: [nukliər] Casual: [nukjələr]

Also we have cold drink which becomes coldrinks. d sound of cold is elided and it mixes with the second word.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad this is working, which is what I had hoped for. Feel free to share more examples for the topic, especially for any non-English language you may speak.

you rally help me understand many things so easily

[@latorreenglish]

Thanks for your clear explanation. May I add that as a native Spanish speaker I can also tell you that the word "oscuro" has another extra change but I'm not sure if it is elision or assimilation (or something else). The thing is that the letter S in many Latin American countries is most times aspirated. So in this case oscuro, when talking fast becomes "ohcuro". Other examples would be éstas(these)>ehtah, esposa(wife)>ehposa, inglés(English)>ingléh.

Thank you sir ❤️❤️❤️

[@ramzy-6566]

Thank you so much.

[@abdullahkhan3824]

Thank you: I learned more information about the Elisions.

[@sheeriouslylvcy4101]

Is syncope the same as elision? 🤔what's the difference?

[@saidfarid6382]

Hello professor Thank you so much for your priceless advice and interesting guidance. I really appreciate your job. Could you answer my question please: What is the difference between Elision and Deletion, in terms of Grammar and in terms of meaning. Thank you so much for your help. I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Your Student from Algeria.

[@valedaclarabelle6828]

Hello, a fellow learner here! I believe that Deletion and Elision refer to the same thing. It was mentioned in the first video of phonological change that Elision is the technical term for Deletion. Hope that this helps :)

[@bedjabengcomfortadjoa8924]
