Hello, my American Accent book says:
To link different stop consonants, hold the airflow on the first one and release it on the second one.
Examples:
big‿time
neck‿tie
Have a good‿time.
I know that T is aspirated when it begins a stressed syllable, but when we hold the airflow on the first one and release it on T does the aspiration still apply? In other words, do we pronounce an aspirated T even if the stop consonants are linked?
