elision
The word for the omission of a sound in speech is "elision." Elision refers to the removal or omission of certain sounds or syllables in spoken language, often to aid in pronunciation or to make speech more fluid.
Here's a piece from an underground, um, yeah, let's call it so, an underground English language course: _Some words would only be affected by assimilation, and some words would only be affected elision. But many words would be affected both by assimilation and by elision. And when a word is affected by assimilation as well as elision, its shape changes not just a little, but considerably. Thus, for example, in "went back", the 't' gets elided, and the sequence becomes "wen' back". Now the sound 'n' occurs before the sound 'b'. So the 'n' readily assimilates to 'm'. And the sequence then becomes "wem' back". Similarly, the word group "He isn't coming" becomes "He isn' coming" through the elision of 't', and then becomes "He isng' coming" through the assimilation of 'n'. In the same way, the word "handbag" becomes "han'bag" through the elision of 'd', and then "ham'bag" through the assimilation of 'n'. Here's another example: The word "remember" in "I can't remember where it is" becomes "rememb" by the elision of 'er' before the word 'where'. Then "rememb" becomes "remem' " by the elision of 'b' between 'm' and 'w'. And in fast speech, "remem" becomes "remm", especially if you're speaking casually. Thus, the word group "I can't remember where it is" becomes "I can't remm' where it is" in fast casual speech._
Elision in music refers to the blending or merging of two musical elements, such as notes or phrases, into a single entity. This technique is often used to create a smooth and seamless transition between different musical sections.
