- 4. DIRECTION OF CHANGE 1) REGRESSIVE : The sounds assimilate dare influenced by the succeeding sounds. 2) PROGRESSIVE : The sounds assimilated are affected by the pronunciation on of the preceding sounds. 3) COALESCENT :The first sound and the second sound come together to create a third sound with features from both original sounds.
- 5. PROGRESSIVE The phoneme that comes first affects the one that comes after it. EXAMPLE : Those years
- 6. PRONUNCIATION OF PLURALS VOICED SOUNDS: girls pictures knees wives ourselves
- 9. REGRESSIVE The sounds assimilated are influenced by the following sounds. EXAMPLE : This year Bright colour Light blue Newspaper Gooseberry Five pence

- 11. CONSONANT CHANGE 1) ASSIMILATION OF VOICING : It consists in the voicing or devoicing of a segment. Eg : Have to , bad tongue, big car. 2) ASSIMILATION MANNER OF ARTICULATION : It occurs when sound changes the manner of its articulation to become similar in manner to a neighbouring sound. Eg : Good night 3) ASSIMILATION PLACE OF ARTICULATION : It is noticeable in the regressive assimilation of alveolar consonants.
- 12. DISSIMILATION THIS PROCESS OCCURS WHEN ADJACENT SOUNDS BECOME MORE DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER.
- 13. LATIN DISSIMILATION RULE: [ +lateral] in suffix becomes [-lateral] when the morpheme contains [+lateral] phoneme. Example : Alternative between alis and aris navalis ‘naval’ regalis ‘royal’ popularis ‘popular’ stellaris ‘stellar’ Reflected in alternative between al and ar in english.
