The Trap: Single-syllable words like "bulb" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "bulb" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "bulb is" sounds like "bulb-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm
