Читай Как Native. Гайд по чтению английских слов - Александр Александрович Переседов

ten kings происходит трансформация звука [n] в слове ten до звука [ŋ] таким образом, чтобы стык между словами был оптимален – звукосочетание [ŋk] произносятся в быстрой речи гораздо легче, и оно благозвучнее для при чтении/произношении на стыке слов, нежели [nk]: ten kings –> [ten'kɪŋgz] –> [teŋ'kɪŋgz]

Другой пример.

В быстрой речи credit card звучит как crediccard ['kredɪka:rd]. А иногда срабатывает просто остановка звука, и дальше сцепки дело не идет.

Таким образом, ассимиляция является дополнительным инструментом в линковке, развивающим уже существующий потенциал. Она возникает при быстрой скорости речи.

Ex. 7. Прочтите словосочетания с ассимиляцией. Если Вам кажется, что она здесь не к месту, попробуйте читать быстрее.

Ex. 7.1. Прочтите предложения. Подумайте, возможна ли там ассимиляция при быстрой речи?

I'm sorry if I was rude before.

You should buy him a present.

My son is a really good boy.

He want to buy a speed boat.

Don't get cold.

You must do it quickly.

I didn't like that cake.

Just let me know.

Give me that thing.

I love this dress shop!

I need you.

Did you like it?

Nice to meet you.

Would you like to come?

Could you be more specific?

Обратите внимание на следующие предложения из упражнения:

Just let me know.

Give me that thing.

В этих предложениях используются достаточно популярные у англоговорящих ассимиляции:

let me –> lemme

give me –> gimme

Иногда ассимиляция случается сама собой, а иногда, где слияние отлично бы подошло, говорящий может отдельно выделить два слова, с паузами. Это зависит от скорости речи, обстановки, в которой происходит коммуникация.

У говорящего есть выбор, что использовать: удерживание и сцепку, элизию, ассимиляцию. Или вот конкретно здесь слияние?

Вам даны инструменты, а как их использовать в речи – дело Ваше. Вы можете говорить с сильным акцентом, и Вас будут слушать с удовольствием, не испытывая никакого дискомфорта.

И даже если Вы не собираетесь использовать такую продвинутую линковку, приемы знать все же необходимо, чтобы понимать быструю устную речь.

Предложения для практики

Как видите, приемы линковки повсюду. Любой текст содержит слияние звуков, сцепку, ассимиляцию. В принципе, на этом месте уже не имеет смысла приводить примеры, ибо весь английский является примером. Применяйте свои силы.
