Eception to the rule Flap or tap /d/ and /t/ Dear teachers and members: In american English (AmE), when an alveolar /t/ or /d/ is intervocalic and the second vowel is unstressed, a flap or tap /t/ or /d/ occurs. Matter; /ˈmærər/ City; /ˈsɪrɪ/; water; /ˈwɔrər/; Ladder; /ˈlærər/ Muddy; /ˈmʌrɪ/; Addict /ˈærɪkt/. I would like to know what happen in the following cases: 1) Bad attitude / bæd ˈætɪˌtud / :/ bærætɪˌtud /; / ˈbærætɪˌtud / In this phrase when the linking sound between BAD and ATTITUDE is made, a flap /d/ ocurrs, so what happens with the stress in the word ATTITUDE; does it desappear or change position? The same happens with these twos phrases: 1) Bad apple / bæd ˈæpəl / 2) Good option / ɡʊd ˈɒpʃən / Thanks and regards. |
