Match the connected-speech phenomena in Column I
with the descriptions in Column II.
COLUMN I
1.Weak-form reduction. 2.Assimilation. 3.Elision. 4.Resyllabification/linking.
COLUMN II
( ) A segment changes some of its phonetic properties under the influence of a neighboring segment.
( ) A function word that has a full citation form is realized with reduced prominence and frequently with a centralized vowel in unstressed speech.
( ) A segment expected from the citation form is omitted in a phonologically favorable connected-speech environment.
( ) A consonantal segment at the edge of one word is perceptually associated with the following vowel-initial syllable in fluent speech.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
