Phonetic - What is progressive and regressive assimilation and dissimilation in the Romanic Languages (especially Spanish) and how do you recognize it? Was ist progressive und regressive Assimilation und Dissimilation in den Romanischen Sprachen, besonders im Spanischen? Que es la asimilación progresiva y regresiva y la disimilación fonética en las lenguas románicas (especialmente en el español)?
I am searching for an explication, a good source recommendation, where I could read more about this topic and some examples for the assimilation or dissimilation in the romanic languages, especially in the Spanish language. Thank you for helping me!!
The assimilation phenomena are the influences that a sound makes to another. We have the progressive assimilation when the preceding sound changes the characteristics of the following: [aθ't̪̟eka] the voiceless interdental fricative consonant interdentalized the voiceless dental oclusive consonant. In the other hand, the regressive assimilation takes place when the following sound influences to the preceding: [an̪dalu'θia] the voiced dental occlusive consonant dentalized the alveolar nasal, but here we have also the progressive assimilation because the alveolar nasal made the voiced dental occlusive consonant mantain its occlusion. Finally, the dissimilation is the process by which two sounds variate their characteristics in order to emphasise the difference between them: an example could be the evolution of the medieval Spanish sibilants.
