This paper aims at discussing the term assimilation. Assimilation is a phonological process where a sound looks like another neighboring sound. It includes progressive, regressive, coalescent, full and partial assimilation. In addition, contextual assimilation is subject to the environment of sounds where historical assimilation is resulted from the development of languages. In Arabic, it is clear that the /l/ sound in the definite article disappears if followed by coronal consonants. It is, however, concluded that the importance of assimilation is to make pronunciation of a word or speech easier.

£1.00 Preview RemoveTreatment of Time and Love in some selective Shakespearean sonnets
Topic: Treatment of Time and Love in Shakespearean sonnets Dowden had confidently declared, " I believe, Shakespeare sonnets express his own feelings in his person". He saw in Shakespeare's sonnets actual situations and sentiments of the poet. His Sonnets are autobiographical in the sense that they furnish us with some broken hints of the stormy trials and passions which helped him to the knowledge of human hearts. L.S Knights declared that even if Shakespeare had assured us that the sonnets were written under the stress of a friendship broken and restored and intrigue with Mary Fitton, the only importance they could have for us would be as poetry, as something made out of experience. Much of Shakespeare's life is shrouded in mystery and conjecture. With regard to his series of 154 sonnets, the problem centers on the identities of the "Fair Youth" to whom the first 126 sonnets are addressed, and that of the "Dark Lady", the enigmatic woman who appears in the later sonnets. There is a good deal of controversy among the critics as to who is 'M(aste)r W.H, who was the "only begetter" of the sonnets: William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke or Henry Wriothesly, Earl of Southampton or any other person. The actual identity hardly affects the understanding of his sonnets. The youth was, no doubt , a friend of Shakespeare's. Shakespeare's ecstatic eulogy of the male friend almost on the verge of infatuation and his bitter experience with the frolicsome and tantalizing Dark Lady, are a wonderful plot, unfolded stage by stage in the sonnets. Shakespeare's sonnets probably re-enact a personal relationship with a rich young and handsome patron, but they are best appreciated as lyric poems that express more universal sentiments. They are sensitive musings on Time and life, transience and permanence beauty and art, friendship and love. Whether they are personal poems or expressions of impersonal sentiments, the central theme is the challenge that Time presents to physical beauty and how love and poetry can triumph over both. Love and courtship are the dominant themes of the Elizabethan sonnets; Shakespeare went against the dominant tradition of the Sonnet when he awarded the place of prime importance to the theme of friendship. Friendship between young men of noble minds was the theme of Renaissance literature and philosophy. There is no parallel in the whole corpus of Renaissance poetry, to Shakespeare's sustained exploration of the theme of friendship or love through his grandiloquent collection of 154 sonnets. the classical conception that the verse preserves, against the ravages of time, the love that it commemorates, is perhaps ,nowhere so happily manifested, as in Shakespeare's sonnets. His sonnets addressed to the" Fair Youth" are inspiring efforts to immortalize the glory of love in a mortal world, which is constantly threatened by the wrecks of time. With utmost poetic earnestness, Shakespeare brings out the conflict between invincible power of time and the unchanging devotion of love and vindicates the power of his art to stand against the blow of Time. The sonnets are inspired with the fervour of a lofty idealism of love, that seeks and finds an enduring consolation in the work of art, in a world where Time is omnipotent. His sonnets are certainly philosophic and idealistic but are free from any undue metaphysical abstraction or speculation. While accepting the impregnable potency of time, the poet asserts the noble zeal of love and the power of his verse to immortalize love. There is a distinct and highly impressive theme of the conflict between Time and love in his Sonnets. it is a distinctive feature of Shakespeare's sonnets to take proper care of Time to make it conspicuous. He depicts Time not only as the destroyer of humans but all objects of Nature. Neither the youth and beauty of humans nor the hardness of rocks and steel can withstand the assaults of Time. it is strange to note that Shakespeare mentioned Time as many as 78 times in the first series of his sonnets but not even once in the second series because he wanted to save the "Fair Youth" from Time's cruel hands but not the “Dark Lady” whom he detested for her gross immortality. In Sonnet number 18, Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, the triumphant march of Time (or death) over the ruins of human possesions , ambitions, desires , and over nature, is illustrated, " the darling buds of May" are shaken; Golden complexion of the sun even dims and "every fair from fair sometimes declines." again it is because of Time's Scheme that "summer's lease Hath all too short a date". In Sonnet 73, That time of year thou mayst in me behold, Shakespeare perceives how time has played on him and anticipates the decay that Time will bring to him ere long. The effect of ruinous Time is seen in the "yellow leaves" which withers off with the turn of time in autumn, leaving the boughs to solitarily shiver in the autumn gales. The dimly glowing fire which soon expires on its ashes, together with the fuel by which it was nourished, conveys the picture of death that is soon to dawn upon the old man, lying helplessly and hopelessly because of loss of self- sustaining power. This is a graphic way of describing how Time does its worst even on an old and infirm man. Even in Sonnet 65, Since brass nor stone, Shakespeare admits the ruinous effect of time on all - 'rocks impregnable', 'gates of Steel' and 'beauty' of man. In sonnet116, Let me not to the marriage of true minds, it is suggested how marriages of human beings (not of minds) suffer from impediments on account of 'alteration' or bends with the remover to remove because they are Time's contrivances against lovers. Where love isn't steady, lovers alter within a span of brief hours and weeks which are but brief divisions of time. The ‘rosy lips and cheeks’ come within the compass of Time’s “bending sickle”. Shakespeare's sonnets are not merely the useless mourning over that which cannot be averted. Time is ,no doubt, mighty and merciless and takes away all that humanity loves and values. But such as even a King has to bow before an Emperor, so Time too, has to bend down before the powers of poetry and true love. Shakespeare shows the limitations of Time before love and poetry. Enriched with superbly artistic design and an irresistibly enchanting music, Shakespeare's sonnets are records of his high idealism of love. Shakespeare is found to pass on from dire pessimism and frustration to the consolatory and restorative thought of love. He moves from the sense of disappointment, despondency and personal decay to the feeling of triumph of his love and imperishable effect of his art on his love. The Sonnet number 18, Shall I compare thee to a summer's day, is illustrative of the poet's depth of love for his friend where he reinforces his faith in the force of his love against the 'wreckful siege of time'. Thoughts of a literary immortality through the poet's verses, inspires the Sonnet. The poet projects the beauty of his friend as that far exceeding the beauties of nature. Shakespeare finds the Platonic conception of absolute or archetypal beauty in his friend, not in Nature. His beauty is superior to a summer's day and 'eye of heaven'. The poet contrasts the ideal beauty of his friend, with the transient beauty of Nature which has to suffer Time's abduction. Let ordinary mortals walk aimlessly in the nigrescent regions of Hades, Where Death or Time rules supreme, but his friend will remain ever bright and his youth ever fresh in the eternal lines of his poetry. Shakespeare claims that his Sonnet will live "so long as men can breathe or eyes can see". The poet proclaims the supremacy of Art over Time. The poet's love for his friend and his beauty is so much that he seeks to save both in his immortal poetry. Some of Shakespeare's sonnets, addressed to his young friend, though inspired by love, are haunted with a plaintive sense of personal decay. Amid his consciousness of his own wreck, the poet glorifies his friend and feels himself strengthened by his deep love for him. He feels consoled for his own belief that his decay will make his friend love him more, "which makes thy love more strong". Love becomes truly triumphant in Sonnet 116 let me not to the marriage of true minds. Here Shakespeare lays down his noble idealism of devoted and constant love. True love admits no ' impediment' and 'alters' not' when it alteration finds'. The poet emphasizes the constancy of love - the depth of devotion in the face of ravages of time. He categorically asserts that true love does not alter with "brief hours and weeks" but continues till the edge of doom." True love is not the dupe of time. He concedes that Time can do its worst with the physical aspects of love but it is helpless before steadfast and eternal love. He boldly announces "Love's not Time's fool". Shakespeare thus equates Time and love through his verse. Time is invincible , destructive, yet love is strong enough to withstand its savages. The poet's verses, celebrating his love, establishes how love shines in a mortal world through the gift of art. What we feel in his sonnets, is the powerful sense of Time - the "dial's steady stealth" yet Time must have a stop, when confronted with true love and poetry.
