Document Summary
It can change the sound so it becomes more like its surroundings. When they occur in the same environment but they contrast meaning. eg. [fit] and [fid] The ipa symbols only used for sounds that are contrastive in different languages. Additional information such as positional differences or aspiration are indicated by diacritics. Two sounds that are different become more alike. Can be place of articulation, voicing, etc. Languages usually choose only one of these places to use contrastively. Coronal consonants are articulated with the front part of the tongue. What are sibilants? alveolar and it does not contrast meaning. Coronal stops are often alveolar in the default position [t,d,n] but they can assimilate forward or backwards depending on their environment. Unlike coronal stops, coronal fricatives have different symbol for the dental, alveolar and post-alveolar positions. This is because there is more of a contrast between sounds. Fricatives that have a higher pitch and volume.
