Abstract

Assimilation is a phonological process which refers to the change of one sound by another sound under the influence of a third sound. The main reason behind this change is the speaker's tendency to economize the muscular effort or make ease of articulation or both. This study aims at finding out the assimilation patterns in Mosuli dialect( ) and divide these patterns in this dialect( ) according to the following factors:



  1. Degree of influence.


2. The direction of influence (i.e., voicing, place of articulation, manner of articulation and Tafxim). The results show that Mosuli dialect tends to ease of articulation than that of economize the muscular effort, also they show that the Mosuli dialect uses only regressive assimilation depending on the factor of direction of influence, also the study shows the use of complete and partial assimilation depending on the degree of influence.
