What is "deletion"?
Deletion is a phonological process in which one or more sounds are removed from a word during speech, often to simplify pronunciation or conform to specific phonetic patterns. This can occur in various contexts, such as when a consonant at the end of a word is dropped in casual speech. For example, the word "next" may be pronounced as "nex" in rapid speech. Deletion is significant in linguistics because it reflects natural tendencies in spoken language, helping to understand how pronunciation can change over time and how speakers adjust their speech for fluency and efficiency.
