97 became
bəlɪvɪn
or [
bəlɪ vɪn
] and the word group love you became
lɒvjʊ
or [
lɒ vjʊ
]. The variation showed that the structure of the syllable was rearranged to ease the pronunciation.
8. Gemination
Gemination is an action where the consonant to be lengthened. It is also called as double consonants meaning there is one consonant in the actual spelling
but it is produced twice. Harris 1996 states that geminate sound also occurrs in the coda-onset content where the consonant at syllable final is also produced in
the initial of the next syllable.

From the table 4.18, we can see that there are 9 performances of gemination, 4 in v in single words and 5 in v in word groups. For further
discussion we will see two examples from each type. The first type discuss is f in word group. there are two sub-type of this type, f followed by semi-vowel, if you
ɪf juː
and f followed by vowel enough is ɪnʌf ɪs. From the phonetic
transcription we can see that there is only one f but in actual sound production

98 there are two f, such as [
ɪf fjʊ
] and [
ɪnʌf fɪs
]. It happened because when the tongue produced consonant sound at syllable final and the next sound was vowel,
linking sound would happen. The followings are the figures of gemination that happened to f in word groups.
Figure 4.14 if you
ɪfjʊ or [ɪf fjʊ] enough is
ɪnʌfɪs or [ɪnʌf fɪs]
Similar to the previous type, v in word groups also underwent gemination, one before vowel and one semi-vowel. They are move I

. However, the Korean speaker modified those sound to be and . These cases were identical with the previouse types case, where the
linking sound occurred within the onset-coda. The following figure will give a clear sight.
