Intervocalic consonant : ウィキペディア英語版 | Intervocalic consonant In phonetics and phonology, an intervocalic consonant is a consonant that occurs in the middle of a word, between two vowels. Intervocalic consonants are associated with lenition, a phonetic process that causes consonants to weaken and eventually disappear entirely. An example of such a change in English is ''intervocalic alveolar flapping'', a process (especially in North American English and Australian English) that, impressionistically speaking, turns ''t'' into ''d'', causing (e.g.) ''metal'' and ''batter'' to sound like ''medal'' and ''badder'', respectively. (More correctly, both /t/ and /d/ turn into the alveolar tap .)
