assimilation and elision

This questionnaire was prepared for the learners of English (either for those who now learn it or learnt some time ago). The questions which you will be asked concern the two aspects of phonetics: assimilation and elision. The findings will be used in my yearly paper with the aim of finding out if the aspects of assimilation and elision should be included in the course of phonetics. Thank you for your help :)

  4. dear jemmie, hi, i'm back once again, having a ball on your website. what you just pointed out is spot on. this is the very ease of articulation. the bare truth is that since, let's say for the case of human beings, /b/ is a bilabial sound, when preceded by /n/, /n/ changes to /m/, which is a bilabial one too, to assimilate. life is that simple, and you are on the crest of a wave, so please keep it going. thanks & cheers.
  5. it is very important.
  6. to improve themselves and to understand much more the native speakers
  7. i don't know yet, i'm confused and still confused.
