 Alveolar plosive, and alveolar stop also.
Dear members and friends.
In connected speech, as well as in isolated words, when the /t/ and /y/ sounds find each other, they assimilate the /tʃ/ sound as in ''nice to meet you''; I don't want to hurt you''; picture'' and so forth. I would like to know if you native speakers merge the /t/ and /y/ phonemes in the examples below:
(a) How about you?
(b) Not yet.
(c) Mom hasn't cooked yet.
I've never heard YET merging into another sound which is prior to it. |
