What is "elision"?
Elision is a phonological process in which one or more sounds are omitted or deleted from a word or phrase during speech. This often occurs in casual or rapid speech to make pronunciation easier or more efficient. For example, in the phrase "next day," the /t/ sound may be elided, resulting in the pronunciation "nex day." Elision is important in phonetics and linguistics because it helps to describe how language is spoken in everyday situations, influencing patterns of speech and contributing to variations in pronunciation across different dialects and contexts.
