¿Qué es la asimilación en el habla conectada?
El habla conectada es un fenómeno lingüístico sorprendente y práctico. Simplifica la articulación, haciéndola más ágil en situacones de habla rápida. A pesar de que muchos hablantes nativos lo realizan de manera instintiva, a menudo se sorprenden al descubrir que lo hacen. Una forma común de este fenómeno es la asimilación, donde un sonido se transforma para asemejarse a otro cercano.
¿Cómo ocurre la asimilación?
La asimilación se da cuando un sonido cambia para volverse más similar a un sonido adyacente. Existen tres formas de enlace de sonidos: consonante a consonante, consonante a vocal, y vocal a vocal. Aquí nos concentraremos en la primera categoría.
¿Cuándo /t/ se convierte en /p/?
- Ejemplo: "white paper"
- En un habla cuidadosa: white paper
- En un habla rápida: "waip peipe"
El sonido /t/ se convierte en /p/ al seguirle un /p/, /b/ o /m/. Este cambio facilita una transición más suave entre los sonidos en el habla rápida.
¿Qué pasa cuando /d/ se transforma en /b/?
- Ejemplo: "red panda"
- En un habla cuidadosa: red panda
- En un habla rápida: "reb panda"
Al igual que con /t/, el sonido /d/ se modifica a /b/ en presencia de /p/, /b/ o /m/, permitiendo un flujo más natural del habla.
¿Cómo influye en /n/ que se vuelve /m/?
- Ejemplo: "ten percent"
- En un habla cuidadosa: ten percent
- En un habla rápida: "tem percent"
Aquí, el sonido /n/ es sustituido por /m/ cuando se encuentra antes de /p/, /b/ o /m/. Esta alteración, frecuente en muchos contextos, alivia la transición en la articulación.
¿Cuál es el impacto de la transformación de /t/ a /k/?
- Ejemplo: "fruitcake"
- En un habla cuidadosa: fruitcake
- En un habla rápida: "fruikcake"
El cambio del sonido /t/ a /k/, al situarse antes de las consonantes velarizadas como /k/ y /g/, es un claro ejemplo de cómo los hablantes pueden fluidizar su conversación en situaciones más informales o espontáneas.
¿Cómo afecta la transformación de /d/ a /g/?
- Ejemplo: "board game"
- En un habla cuidadosa: board game
- En un habla rápida: "boarg game"
Este cambio es crucial en el habla rápida, facilitando una transición más suave cuando el sonido sigue a /k/ o /g/.
¿Cuándo /n/ se convierte en /ng/?
- Ejemplo: "Lion King"
- En un habla cuidadosa: Lion King
- En un habla rápida: "Ling King"
Esta transformación implica un cambio significativo en la resonancia nasal, reflejando la combinación de sonidos de las terminaciones "ing". Facilita la conexión entre palabras en el flujo continuo del habla.
En el estudio del habla conectada, familiarizarse con estas transformaciones no solo mejora la comprensión auditiva, sino que también lleva la fluidez del estudiante de un idioma al siguiente nivel. Practicar y grabar tu propio habla usando estas reglas, es esencial para dominar el arte de la asimilación. ¡Adéntrate y comprueba por ti mismo la magia del habla conectada!

Connected speech helps the speaker modify complicated sequences in order to simplify the articulation process.
Assimilation is the process when one sound becomes similar or identical to a nearby sound.
There are 3 ways we can link sounds. For this time we are gonna just concentrate on `consonant to consonant` .
## **Voiceless alveolar turns to a voiceless bilabial**
When `/t/` is followed by `/p/` `/b/` `/m/`
`/t/` becomes `/p/`
```js
White paper -> /waɪt ˈpeɪ.pɚ/ -> /waɪp ˈpeɪ.pɚ/ (same consonant)
Sweet potato -> /ˌswiːt pəˈteɪ.t̬oʊ/ -> /ˌswiːp pəˈteɪ.t̬oʊ/ (same consonant)
Peanut butter -> /ˈpiː.nʌt ˌbʌt̬.ɚ/ -> /ˈpiː.nʌp ˌbʌt̬.ɚ/ (stop sound to stop sound)
```
## **Voiced alveolar turns to a voiced bilabial**
When `/d/` is followed by `/p/` `/b/` `/m/`
`/d/` becomes `/b/`
```js
Red panda -> /ˌred ˈpæn.də/ -> /ˌreb ˈpæn.də/ (stop sound to stop sound)
Bald man -> /bɑːld mæn/ -> /bɑːlb mæn/ (stop sound to /m/)
Old boat -> /oʊld boʊt/ -> /oʊlb boʊt/ (same consonant)
```
## **Voiced alveolar turns to a voiced bilabial**
When `/n/` is followed by `/p/` `/b/` `/m/`
`/n/` becomes `/m/`
```js
one more -> /wʌn mɔːr/ -> /wʌm mɔːr/ (same consonant)
Open book -> /ˈoʊ.pən bʊk/ -> /ˈoʊ.pəm bʊk/ (consonant to consonant)
Ten percent -> /ten pɚˈsent/ -> /tem pɚˈsent/ (consonant to consonant)
```
## **Voiceless alveolar turns into a voiceless velar**
When `/t/` is followed by `/k/` `/g/`
`/t/` becomes `/k/`
```js
Fruitcake -> /ˈfruːt.keɪk/ -> /ˈfruːk.keɪk/ (same consonant)
Not good -> /nɑːt gʊd/ -> /nɑːk gʊd/ (stop sound to stop sound)
```
## **Voiced alveolar turns into a voiced velar**
When `/d/` is followed by `/k/` `/g/`
`/d/` becomes `/g/`
```js
Board game -> /ˈbɔːrd ˌɡeɪm/ -> /ˈbɔːrg ˌɡeɪm/ (same sound)
Red Cross -> /ˌred ˈkrɑːs/ -> /ˌreg ˈkrɑːs/ (stop sound to stop sound)
```
## **Voiced alveolar turns into a voiced velar**
When `/n/` is followed by `/k/` `/g/`
`/n/` becomes `/ŋ/`
```js
Lion King -> /ˈlaɪ.ən kɪŋ/ -> /ˈlaɪ.əŋ kɪŋ/ (consonant to consonant)
Mean Girls -> /miːn ɡɝːlz/ -> /miːŋ ɡɝːlz/ (consonant to consonant)
```

platzi's AI says that
The linking rule refers to the phonetic process in connected speech where sounds are modified to ease pronunciation. It involves three main types of sound connections: consonant to consonant, consonant to vowel, and vowel to vowel. For example, /t/ can change to /p/ when followed by sounds like /p/, /b/, or /m/, making the speech flow more naturally. This technique is utilized by native speakers to enhance fluency and make conversations smoother, as seen in phrases like "white paper," which may be pronounced as "waip peipe" in fast speech.
1. **Who’s a good boy?**
* No assimilation.
2. **You should go visit your old man.**
* "should go" can be pronounced more fluidly as "shuh-goh."
3. **Red blood cells carry fresh oxygen to all parts of the body.**
* No significant assimilation.
4. **Ten percent of the global population lives in Europe.**
* "ten percent" can be pronounced as "tenpre-sent."
5. **It's important to keep an open mind as you study a new topic.**
* "an open" can be pronounced more fluidly as "anopen."
