Elited or omitted sound segments are common
in connected speech in English. The
omission can occur within the word or across the word boundary. The unstressed syllable with schwa [ə] / [I]
is often omitted in rapid speech. For
examples:
camera
----- ['kӕmərə] ----- [ 'kӕmrə]
medicine
----- ['medIsən] ----- [medIsn]
memory
----- ['memərI] ----- [memrI]
*cup of coffee -----
[kΛp əv 'kɒfI] -----
[kΛpəkɒfI]
interesting ----- [ 'IntərIstIŋ ] ----- [IntrIstIŋ]
laboratory
----- [lə'bɒrətərI] -----
[lə'bɒrətrI]
chocolate
['ʧɒkələt] ----- ['ʧɒklət]
