    Elision refers to the omission of sound segments, typically unstressed syllables, within or between words during connected speech. Common examples provided are the deletion of syllables in words like "medicine" and sentences like "cup of coffee". Proficient speakers utilize elision while non-proficient speakers may articulate all sounds. Linking describes how adjacent sounds between words become connected during rapid speech. Specifically, an "r" sound often intrudes before vowel sounds, like turning "four apes" into "four-r-apes". This joining of sounds across word boundaries is a feature of fluent speech.

    2) Elision

    In connected speech, it is common for sound segments to be deleted or omitted. The omission
    can occur within the word or across word boundary. This sedmental feature of speech is
    commonly observable in words with unstressed syllables which are omitted in rapid speech.
    medicine [mdisin] [mdsin]
    camera [kmr] [kmr]
    cup of coffee [kp v kfi] [kp kfi]
    pen and paper [pn end peip] [pnnpeip]
    The non-elision of a phoneme would sound odd and is indicative of a non-proficient speaker.
    vegetable [vedtbl] [veditbl]
    chocolate [tklt] [tklt]

    3) Linking
    Sound segments of a word are seldom discrete or clearly seperated from the sound of other
    words. They become linked or connected. This is known as linking. The linking [r] is
    prominent before a vowel. The linking [r] can be seen in the utterance of four apes [f :r eips]
    which is realised as [f:reips] in rapid speech with the [r] sound linking the two words. The
    addition of the [r] is referred to as the intrusive [r]. The [r] sound is inserted between the
    juncture of two words.
    media event [midi ivnt] [midjrivnt]
    Formula A [f:mjl ei] [f:mjlrei]
