  • Abstract
    This paper presents some phonological rules which describe systematic pronunciation variation occurring in natural continuous speech. It is argued that a speech understanding system must account for such variation by incorporating phonological rules, either implicitly or explicitly, into the system. Spectrographic evidence for the phonological phenomena described by the rules is included.
