In this video, we look at coalescent assimilation of /z/ and /j/, a big part of connected speech. Coalescent assimilation is when two sounds combine, come together, to make a third sound.
One type of coalescent assimilation often happens when /s/ is followed by a /j/ sound. They coalesce to make the /ʒ/ sound:
Cookies, yes!
Ladies' union
He’s young
Please yourself
Other types in the dialogue:
Coalescence: When a /s/ sound is followed by a /j/ sound, the sounds often coalesce to make the /ʃ/ sound:

Paragraph:
The coalescence of /z/ and /j/ into the /ʒ/ sound is a phonological process in English where an alveolar fricative and a palatal glide merge into a single sound, often in connected and casual speech. This sound merging simplifies articulation and occurs during rapid or informal communication. Understanding how /z/ and /j/ coalesce into /ʒ/ is crucial for mastering English pronunciation, speech fluency, and recognizing phonetic patterns in everyday language.
