The book does a great job of discussing the kinds of sound change. Look at these sections in the text again and try to guess at one or more examples where these types of changes have taken place in English. Bring your findings to Chat or Discussion.
One additional note… The first four types of change listed here fall under the “ease of articulation” category which is one cause for sound change as we will see on the next slide.
