Paragraph:
The assimilation of /d/ in connected speech refers to the phonological process where the /d/ sound changes or merges with surrounding sounds during rapid or casual conversations. This phenomenon affects pronunciation and can alter how words are articulated, impacting speech clarity and fluency. Understanding the assimilation of /d/ helps English learners recognize common patterns in everyday English and improve their pronunciation in both formal and informal contexts.
