Palatalization is a special case of assimilation. When alveolar consonants /t/, /d/, /s/, and /z/ precede the palatal semivowel /j/, they become the palatal sounds, /ʧ/, /ʤ/, /ʃ/, and /ʒ/ respectively. As in most cases of connected speech, palatalization mainly happens in fast speech.

The lecture is based on my book "English Pronunciation, the American Way." The e-book can be found at the Amazon site, and the audio book can be found at Audible or at my website. pronunciationandprosody.blogs....
King. Bless your heart. No joke made my day. This was very informative btw. I love it!
I started to wonder if this type of speaking was more of a casualization of the language about halfway through and right in the end you said exactly that, neat. Excellent demonstration, thank you!
Thanks
Wow😍

How would we palatalize: tune and dew?
Excellent question! Standard American pronunciation does not palatalize alveolar sounds t, d, n, s, and z. This phenomenon is called Yod dropping. I have a video on this: ruclips.net/video/pbJ_HrNUDgQ/видео.html&pp=ygUMeW9kIGRyb3BwaW5n
@@NanheeByrnesPhDThis is confusing. The topic of this very video is palatalization of t, d, s, and z in Standard American English. Clearly it can at least under certain circumstances be palatalized. When does yod-dropping occur then and when does it not?
@@waynehamilton6781 palatalization is a feature of connected speech
How about "groceries" becoming "grosheries"? There's no j there?
Excellent observation! In fast speech, "grocery" becomes a two-syllable word, with the middle vowel being elided (called elision). In this situation, the palatal "r" morphs "s" to "sh."
Swedes pronounce "rs" as a "sh" ( thorsdag = toshda, "Gunnarson" = gunnashon, etc.). Is it the same phenomenon? Is it independent of the language even?
Btw., what area of scholarship this belongs to? I find this very interesting.... is it linguistics, phonetics, something else?
A lot of people say "assoshiate" instead of "associate" - but not everyone. Is it palatilisation as well? No j or r there...
i only have /t/ and /d/ + /j/ turning into /ʧ/ and /ʤ/. i dont have /s/ and /z/ + /j/ turning into /ʃ/ and /ʒ/
Interesting, do you not say 'mission' and 'vision' as if they were 'mishen' and 'vizhen' then?
