Assimilation
(Đồng hóa âm)
Assimilation is the change in pronunciation of a phoneme under the influence of its surrounding sounds.In
other words, assimilation is the act of making two sounds in speech that are next to each other more similar to
each other in certain ways, for example "eleven minutes"
After you have said "eleven", your tongue is behind upper front of teeth if you pronounce the /n/ sound, which
is the wrong position from which to form the next sound, which is /m/.You get around this by changing
the /n/ sound to /m/, like this: /ɪˈlevm ˈmɪnɪʔs/.You also replace the last /t/ sound for a glottal stop, which
makes the word even easier to say
