 CONNECTED SPEECH
1) CONNECTED SPEECH

 Connected speech explains that when we speak the English language, words have a
purpose between them. We don't always pronounce by words separately. Regarding
that, many words are afflicted when we write it in phrases and sentences. The final
sound of a word often impairs the start of the next word.

Example:

House.

Apple: is a separate word with ordered pause

When we say the word An Apple we do not imply the beginning of the word because it is
being affected by the article an and that is the Connected Speech.

Conected Speech is widely used by natives and especially in other languages.

We have the following aspects here:

 2)CONNECTED SPEECH INCLUDES MANY SUBTOPICS

There are many different modes that are presented in connected speech.

Sometimes sounds are added, omitted, or changed in different ways. It's actually
a very complex topic and we talked about the various subtopics it covers in
Connected Speech

In this section we are going to learn about the aspects of Connected Speech that
are: catenation or linking, intrusion, elision, assimilation and geminates.
 3) CATENATION OR LINKING

Linking occurs when the end of one word joins another. When the last
sound in a word is consonant and the first sound ends up being a vowel,
we finally acquire this link.

For example:
I want this orange-> this orange
I want that orange -> thadorange
This afternoon -> this afternoon
Are you busy? -> Isi busy?
Cats or Dogs? -> Catserdogs?
 4) INTRUSION
Intrusion expresses an additional sound "intrudes" and is sandwiched
among others. frequently it is a / j / o / w / o / r / sound that between the
two sounds are vowel sounds.

For example:
1) He asked -> Heyasked.
2) She replied: Sheya replied
3) Do it -> Dewit
4)Go out -> Gowout
5) Shoe on -> Shoewon TA

These basic sentences are interspersed sounds when a word ends in a

vowel and the next one also begins to provoke one of these sounds / j /
or / w / or / r /.
 5)ELISION

Elisión explains when a sound ends. Mainly a sound fed by other more
resistant or similar sounds next to it. This often occurs with a / t / or / d /
sound.

For example:

a) Next -> Nexdoor

b) Daddy takes -> Datake
c) More common -> Moscommon

2) it is simply to eliminate when the sound is eaten by another louder or

similar that is next to it.
 6) ASSIMILATION

Assimilation means two sounds blend together, forming a new

song altogether. this often happens with /t/ and / j / wich make /tʃ/,
and with /d/ and /j/ which make /dʒ/.

For Example:
Don´t you = dontʃu = Don’t you go to the doctor.
Won´t you = wontʃu = Won´t you go to Dubai.
Meet you = meetʃu = Nice to meet you.
Did you = didʒu= Did go to the supermarket.
Would you = wudʒu = Would you like to travel with me.
 7)GEMINATES

Twins consist of the two equal sounds. Usually, when a word ends with the
same letter as the beginning of the next, the two words must connect in
your speech.

For Example:
1) Social life -> Social life= This word work in a single sound, cannot be
repeated, cannot pronounce the same sound.

2) Pet turtle -> Peturtle=This word eliminates the letter t and the L sound.
