Pronunciation of articles in English

[Lionel Mandrake]

11. Interesting.

My dictionary says:

morphophonology
noun
the branch of linguistics that deals with the phonological representation of morphemes.

which seems to cover my topic and a lot more.

I often say "would-uhv", "should-uhv", or "could-uhv" before consonants as well as vowels, but when I am careless the "v" sound is not very loud, i.e., what I say before a consonant is close to "would-uh", "should-uh", or "could-uh".

A common mistake in writing is to replace "have" with "of", e.g., "should of gone". This mistake reflects the pronunciation of "have" in context.
