Phonological Processes (5 points)Below are some English words transcribed as they would be pronounced informal speech and in casual speech (by some, but not all speakers of English).Each word undergoes a change from formal speech to casual speech whichexemplifies a phonological process that we have discussed in class. Name thephonological process at work in each example.Spelling Formal Speech Casual Speech Processi) 'balloon' [bʌlu:n] [blu:n]ii) 'gun powder' [gʌnpawɾr̩] [gʌmpawɾr̩]iii) 'diphthong' [dɪfθɑŋ] [dɪpθɑŋ]iv) 'asterisk' [æstʌrɪsk] [æstʌrɪks]v) 'else' [ɛls] [ɛlts]4.
