Elision

This is a Teflpedia phonetics article. For simplicity, our articles are presently based on British English and received pronunciation. We trust teachers will adapt the information to their particular situation and/or that of their students.

Elision refers to the way in which a sound or a syllable of a spoken word, or even a whole word is omitted.

Examples include: I'm and let's.

Don't confuse it with that essential teaching skill: eliciting.
