I连读LIASION

在连贯的说话或朗读时，短语或句子中相邻的词如果前一个词的末尾是辅音，后一个词的词首是元音时，就要连起来读。

如Here^is^apair^ofsunglasses.

1“辅音+元音”型连读在同一个短语里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，

要将前一词的辅音与后一词的元音拼起来连读。

如：

alot^offunlook^at^itNot^at^allbemade^up^ofget^ontheplane

2“r/re+元音”型连读

如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。

here^andtherefather^andmotherfor^allWhere^ismyumbrella?

There^isamessageforyou.There^aresomefruitinthebasket.

II辅音的同化ASSIMILATION

辅音的同化就是一个辅音因为受了另一个相邻的辅音的影响而发成了这两个音之外的第三个音。

两词相连，第一个词的词尾辅音与第二个词的词首辅音同化，这是日常口语中相当普遍的现象。

如：

/s/--/R/thisshop/!

CHR!

RPp/

/z/--/Y/thoseshops/!

C?

TY!

RPps/

/t+j/---/tR/Nicetomeet^you.Won’tyou?

/d+j/---/dY/Whatwouldyoulike?

Couldyouhelpme,please?
