REGRESSIVE ASSIMILATION OF NASALS IN POLISH AND SPANISH SOUND SYSTEMS
The article concerns the phenomenon of regressive assimilation of nasals in Polish and Spanish sound systems. The basic information is followed by the description of the examples of the assimilations which involve the change of place of articulation in respective languages. The author shows the differences in the articulation of particular sounds and emphasizes the peculiarity of Polish in which the hard and soft and voiced and voiceless classifications of consonants can be observed. Polish also uses nasal vowels whose phonetic realization is similar to that of nasal consonants.
