# Phonological Assimilation **Definition:** Phonological assimilation is a process whereby a sound becomes more similar to (or identical with) a neighboring sound by adopting one or more of its phonetic features, such as place of articulation, voicing, or nasalization. **Why it matters:** Assimilation is fundamental to understanding how languages actually function in natural speech, revealing that pronunciation is systematic rather than arbitrary. It explains common spelling-pronunciation mismatches (e.g., "input" pronounced as "imput"), aids in language acquisition and teaching, and provides crucial evidence for phonological theory about how sound systems are mentally organized.
