Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "defendants" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "defendants is" sounds like "defendants-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "defendants" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
