Palatalization is a special case of assimilation. When alveolar consonants /t/, /d/, /s/, and /z/ precede the palatal semivowel /j/, they become the palatal sounds, /ʧ/, /ʤ/, /ʃ/, and /ʒ/ respectively. As in most cases of connected speech, palatalization mainly happens in fast speech.

I started to wonder if this type of speaking was more of a casualization of the language about halfway through and right in the end you said exactly that, neat. Excellent demonstration, thank you!

How would we palatalize: tune and dew?

Excellent question! Standard American pronunciation does not palatalize alveolar sounds t, d, n, s, and z. This phenomenon is called Yod dropping. I have a video on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pbJ_HrNUDgQ.html&pp=ygUMeW9kIGRyb3BwaW5n

@@NanheeByrnesPhDThis is confusing. The topic of this very video is palatalization of t, d, s, and z in Standard American English. Clearly it can at least under certain circumstances be palatalized. When does yod-dropping occur then and when does it not?

How about "groceries" becoming "grosheries"? There's no j there?

@NanheeByrnesPhD 2 месяца назад

Excellent observation! In fast speech, "grocery" becomes a two-syllable word, with the middle vowel being elided (called elision). In this situation, the palatal "r" morphs "s" to "sh."

@bramblebop1904 2 месяца назад

Swedes pronounce "rs" as a "sh" ( thorsdag = toshda, "Gunnarson" = gunnashon, etc.). Is it the same phenomenon? Is it independent of the language even? Btw., what area of scholarship this belongs to? I find this very interesting.... is it linguistics, phonetics, something else?

@bramblebop1904 2 месяца назад

A lot of people say "assoshiate" instead of "associate" - but not everyone. Is it palatilisation as well? No j or r there...
