Định Nghĩa và Ý Nghĩa của "dissimilation"

What is "dissimilation"?

Dissimilation is a phonological process in which two similar sounds in a word become less similar to each other, often to make pronunciation easier. This change can occur when one sound influences another, causing it to shift in some way. Dissimilation is important in linguistics because it helps to explain how and why sounds change in natural speech, making it easier for speakers to articulate words smoothly and efficiently.
