Phonological Processes
- Epenthesis is the process of adding sounds to a word.
- Metathesis involves switching sounds around in a word.
- Assimilation involves changing sounds to be more or less similar to their neighboring sounds.
- Coalescence is a less common phonological process in English.
- Voicing assimilation in English occurs because of the tendency to make voiced sounds more similar to their neighboring voiced sounds.
- Nasalization is the process where a vowel preceding a nasal consonant becomes nasalized.
- Comparing the number of sounds and their phonetic properties before and after a phonological change helps to identify the type of phonological process that has occurred.
