Add sandhi, linking?

[edit]

I have some changes I believe would be helpful, but I'm not sure how to back them up since I'm not a linguist myself and I don't have access to any sources that are already cited about this.

  • Talk about sandhi on this page
  • Talk about "linking" on this page, based on International Phonetic Alphabet § Suprasegmentals, which points here:

    es‿e
    Linking (lack of a boundary; a phonological word)[note 1]

Notes

  1. ^ The IPA Handbook variously defines the "linking" symbol as marking the "lack of a boundary"[1] or "absence of a break",[2] and gives French liaison and English linking r as examples. The illustration for Croatian uses it to tie atonic clitics to tonic words, with no resulting change in implied syllable structure. It is also sometimes used simply to indicate that the consonant ending one word forms a syllable with the vowel beginning the following word.
