It can also be pronounced "What's THAT gotta do with anything?" Right?

@SpeechModification 2 месяца назад

It can, but we normally use "gotta" for "got to" as in "have to," and not with got to do (the "to do" goes together, not the "got to."). So, I've gotta do that (I have to do that), that's gotta do something (that has to do something), but "what's that got to do with."

Hi Christine! Can you please break down how to pronounce the phrase: at the end of the day. I think it’s common, and there's a lot happening in terms of phonetics: linking (glottal stop, linking j, dropping d) and an assimilation?: æ* ði_j_en_əv ð deɪ…. Is there an assimilation between of and the: əvvə dei?

@SpeechModification 22 дня назад

Hi, sure, thanks for the suggestion. I would say we don't always drop the d of "end," but instead link it to "of." For "of the" if we assimilate, it's by dropping the /v/ of "of" rather than the /ð/ of "the," because it would sound like "of a" if we dropped the TH sound.

Thank you, Christine! I've got 2 questions if you don't mind: 1) In "got to" is it more common in American English to use a reinforcement glottal stop plus unreleased t or just a glottal stop? Cuz it can be either like this [gɑːʔt̚ tə] with a reinforcement glottal stop and unreleased t or simply like this [gɑːʔ tə] with a glottal stop, when we don't even try to place the tongue into t position. 2) Consonants [p], [t], [k], [b], [d], [g] are all plosives. I've read that all six stop consonants [p], [t], [k], [b], [d], [g], in any combination at the juncture of words or within a compound word, are pronounced such that the first of them typically loses its release. So, do we also have a glottal t or a stop t in "that got"?

Hi, yes, you can just use a glottal stop without the unreleased t in "got to" because the tongue is going to the /t/ position for the "to." And yes, the "that" will also have a stop T because it's at the end of the word followed by a consonant.
