Dear teachers and members:
In american English (AmE), when an alveolar /t/ or /d/ is intervocalic and the second vowel is unstressed, a flap or tap /t/ or /d/ occurs. I would like to know what happen in the following cases:
Bad attitude / bæd ˈætɪˌtud / :/ bærætɪˌtud /; / ˈbærætɪˌtud /
In this phrase when the linking sound between BAD and ATTITUDE is made, a flap /d/ ocurred, so what happen with the stress in the word ATTITUDE; does it desappear or change?
The same happens with these twos phrases:
1) Bad apple / bæd ˈæpəl /
2) Good option / ɡʊd ˈɒpʃən /
Thanks and regards.
