Document Summary

Processes: assimilation and more processes with which you may already be familiar with may be describes as rules with features: voicing assimilation (regressive): L and r in this context tends to assimilate in voicing to the sound that precedes it which is why its called regressive. Dif cult to hear difference but it exists: nasal assimilation (nasalisation): I. e can"t has nasal assimilation because the vowel before the nasal sound takes on the nasal quality. This is the type of assimilation we discuss in classics. More phonological example it wont work for any context but it does work in this morphological example (morphology as in the structure of words) Features (new: the most basic unit of phonology. They allow us to show what sounds have in common with each other, how they are related or not related (i. e. voicing or nasality/orality or they don"t have them in common)
