| Abstract | ||
| Assimilation is a phonological process where there is a change of one sound into another due to the effect of neighboring sound(s). It is one of the most important types of sound change. So in rapid, as well in slow speech, sounds tend to assimilate others in order to maintain a continuous flow of speech. This paper is focused on systematic classification of assimilatory processes found in connected speech in Arabic with reference to English. It represents a complex typology of assimilation based on 10 different analytical perspectives resulting almost in 40 types of assimilation. In addition to that, it is used as a tool for analyzing other connected speech phenomena of other languages. | ||
