Abstract

This study investigates assimilation in English and Uzbek phonetics from a comparative perspective. Focusing on consonantal assimilation, it examines articulatory and phonological patterns observed in both languages. English assimilation is closely linked to connected speech and stylistic variation, whereas Uzbek assimilation predominantly occurs within word boundaries and morphological structures. The analysis highlights shared phonetic principles alongside language-specific realisations and demonstrates the relevance of assimilation for pronunciation teaching and applied phonetics.
