Good evening,
I've been learning English phonetics and phonology on my own. Now, I'm looking for some exercises, books, CDs or anything else in order to practice all I've learnt in a connected speech (linking R, elision, weak forms, consonant to vowel linking, sounds twining and so on). May be you know some authors, because I've found nothing.
Also, I'd like to ask you about linking between -ING in the final position preceded by a word which begins with a vowel sound.
I know that usually we do not pronounce /G/ in words: interesting, boring, working, thing .....
But, if the following word is 'idea' which begins with a vowel sound /aɪ/, is the sound /g/ pronounced in order to link these two words or not?
Ex: an interesting idea /ən 'ɪntərəstɪŋ aɪdɪə/ OR /ən 'ɪntərəstɪŋ gaɪdɪə/
Thanks for your response,
