  1. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! TODAY, LET’S CONTINUE WITH PHONOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN ENGLISH.

  2. We talked about various processes last time. Two of the most common processes are deletion and assimilation.

  3. We can refer to the two processes to explain the pronunciation of the past tense and plural suffixes, namely -ed and -s. However, sometimes it takes the form [d] or [t]. The past tense suffix ‘-ed’ takes the form of [Id].

  4. Here’s some explanation! This can be seen in: ‘mended’[mEndId] ‘needed’ [ni:dId] ‘seated’ [si:td] ‘chatted’ [tSQtd] [Id]remains as it is after a verb ending with an apicoalveolar stop, [t]or [d].

  5. A deletion process applies when the suffix is attached to a verb ending in any other sound besides [t] and [d]. This can be seen in: ‘named’[neImd] ‘canned’ [kHQ:nd] ‘peeled’ [pHi:d] ‘begged’ [bE.gd] ‘seized’ [si:zd In that case, the suffix [Id]becomes [d].

  6. When the suffix is attached to a verb ending with a voiceless sound, an assimilatory process takes place after the delection of [I]. This can be seen in: ‘missed’[mIsd] [mIst] ‘smashed’[smQSd] [smQSt] ‘kicked’[kHIkd] [khIkt] ‘gripped’[grIpd] [grIpt] ‘matched’[mQtSd] [mQtSt] In that case, the suffix [Id]becomes [d] and then [t], respectively.

  7. In the case of the plural suffix, its normal form is supposed to be [Iz]. It remains as it is after asibilant, as in the following examples. ‘glasses’ [glQ:sIz] ‘lashes’ [lQ:SIz] ‘breezes’ [bri:zIz] ‘bridges’ [brI.dZIz] ‘witches’ [wItSIz]

  8. A deletion process applies when the suffix is attached to a word ending with a non-sibilant sound. This can be seen in: ‘names’[neImz] ‘cans’ [kHQ:nz] ‘peels’ [pHi:z] ‘bags’ [bQ.gz] ‘grades’ [greIdz] In that case, the suffix [Iz]becomes [z].

  9. When the suffix is attached to a word ending with a voiceless sound, an assimilatory process takes place after the delection of [I]. This can be seen in: ‘lips’[lIpz] [lIps] ‘tricks’[tHIkz] [tHIks] ‘bats’[bQtz] [bQts] ‘staffs’[stQfz] [stQfs] ‘booths’[bu: Tz] [bu: Ts] In that case, the suffix [I]becomes [] and then [], respectively.

  10. Now, let’s work on the exercise on page91. Classify the nouns into three groups on the basis of the final form of their plural suffix: A. [Iz] B. [ z] C. [ s]
