	§ 66. dissimilation. 7. Pronunciation Challenges. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		Dissimilation is a phonological process that involves one of two similar or identical sounds within a word becoming less like the other or even disappearing entirely.
		One historical example of dissimilation is marble, from French marbre.
		In this case the second r has dissimilated to l in order to prevent a repetition of the r and ease articulation.

		Dissimilation, in the context of phonology, is a phenomenon whereby similar consonant sounds in a word have a tendency to become different over time, so as to ease pronunciation.
		Dissimilation is a phonological process that involves one of two similar or identical sounds within a word becoming less like the other or even disappearing entirely.
		Cases of assimilation and dissimilation, for example, are often plainly recourses taken by speakers for the sake of ease of pronunciation, the line of least resistence.

		With regard to the dissimilation pattern in Greek then, we hypothesize that listeners will be always better at discriminating between clusters that have as one of their members the sibilant /s/ than between clusters that do not.
		Conclusion In this paper, the process of manner dissimilation in Greek was investigated, and empirical results from a perception experiment were presented in support of the thesis that perceptual considerations, in addition to other factors, can influence the phonology of a language.
		Dissimilation can be used as a diagnostic process for understanding the limits and mechanics of the role of perception in phonology.

	5 Phonetic Changes
		Dissimilation is a process by which, due to its awkward repetition, a sound is lost or changed in one of its occurrences.
		By dissimilation, one sound may be substituted for another: /r/ for /l/, as in pilgrim, derived ultimately from Latin peregrinum; also turtle, from Latin turtre.
		Dissimilation affects fewer sounds than assimilation and its most usual direction, as that of assimilation, is regressive; that is, the first occurrence of the sound in the word is more likely to be dissimilated than the other.

	LINGUIST List 3.584: Dissimilation, assimilation
		Citing Donegan (1978) and Jesperson, Stampe suggests that dissimilation occurs between non-adjacent sounds when the intervening sound is likely to assimilate to the flanking identical sounds.
		Stampe says, > If "distant" dissimilations of consonants protect the sounds they > flank from complete assimilation, we wouldn't expect dissimilation > either (1) if the flanked sounds are so many or so different from the > flanking consonants as to resist assimilation, or (2) if there are no > flanked sounds.
		Under his proposed account of dissimilation as a means of blocking assimilation, Stampe argues that > > (2) we would NEVER expect dissimilation in mellis (*melris), where > there is no flanked sound to protect from assimilation.

	Peter Suber, "The Reflexivity of Change"
		The second /r/ dissimilated into /l/ to prevent repetition; the second /m/ was dropped by dissimilation for the same reason, and replaced by a dissimilated /b/.
		Cases of assimilation and dissimilation, for example, are often plainly recourses taken by speakers for the sake of ease of pronunciation, the line of least resistence.
		Because both assimilation and dissimilation require some appeal to the 'line of least resistance' theory, we are better off modifying that theory than rejecting it.

		During taurine fermentation, this bacterium accumulated polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in quantities significantly higher than that during growth with malate + sulfate as electron donor and TEA respectively, suggesting that some of taurine's carbon was used in PHB synthesis.
		This studies conducted here reveal an increasing number of bacterial genera able to dissimilate sulfonates under strictly anaerobic conditions for growth.

		In this paper, the problem of correctly correlating phonological activity and markedness is handled with the following proposal: dissimilation results from the force of markedness constraints, self-conjoined in a local context.
		First, the proposal straightforwardly generalizes to cases of dissimilation which are not represented in autosegmental phonology.
		Second, dissimilation as local conjunction provides a natural account of the inactivity of coronals in Place cooccurrence restrictions: the analysis stems from the equation, marked segments = active segments; because coronals are unmarked relative to a harmony scale, they are inactive in dissimilation.

	McGraw-Hill AccessScience: Carbohydrate metabolism
		The breakdown or dissimilation of simple sugars, particularly glucose, is one of the principal sources of energy for living organisms.
		The dissimilation may be anaerobic, as in fermentations, or aerobic, that is, respiratory.
		In both types of metabolism, the breakdown is accompanied by the formation of energy-rich bonds, chiefly the pyrophosphate bond of the coenzyme adenosinetriphosphate (ATP), which serves as a coupling agent between different metabolic processes.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		The basis of our word colonel, the main sense of which is 'a relatively high-ranking officer in various armed forces', is in the Italian word colonnello, the masculine diminutive of colonna 'a column (of soldiers)', in reference to the fact that the officer originally headed the first column of a regiment.
		Dissimilation is when a speech sound is altered so that it is different from a nearby speech sound; examples of r to l dissimilation are purple, eventually from Latin purpura, and marble, from Old French marbre.
		Colonel demonstrates l to r dissimilation, common in the Romance languages: the first l was changed, and the resulting word was pronounced with an r and spelled coronel.

	Medmicro Chapter 4
		The study of bacterial metabolism focuses on the chemical diversity of substrate oxidations and dissimilation reactions (reactions by which substrate molecules are broken down), which normally function in bacteria to generate energy.
		Also within the scope of bacterial metabolism is the study of the uptake and utilization of the inorganic or organic compounds required for growth and maintenance of a cellular steady state (assimilation reactions).
		This organism dissimilates glucose to ethanol and represents a major alcoholic fermentation reaction in a bacterium.

		Dissimilation involves a change in one of two 'same' sounds that are adjacent or almost adjacent in a particular word such that they are no longer the same.
		Haplology is similar to dissimilation, because it involves getting rid of similar neighboring sounds, but this time, one sound is simply dropped out rather than being changed to a different sound.

	Low Vowel Dissimilation in Vanuatu Languages - Questia Online Library
		Of greater interest, however, is the fact that there seem to be almost thirty languages that evidence historical dissimilation, of which fourteen are spoken on the island of Malakula or on small islands offshore.
		By irregular I mean that, in most "dissimilating languages" a significant number of forms that continue reconstructed etyma containing an aCa sequence show dissimilation* of the first *a, but a number of other forms do not.
		In addition to the basic similarity of the dissimilation environment, there are other commonalities shared by all or most Vanuatu languages that show fairly thoroughgoing dissimilation.

		If "distant" dissimilations of consonants protect the sounds they flank from complete assimilation, we wouldn't expect dissimilation either (1) if the flanked sounds are so many or so different from the flanking consonants as to resist assimilation, or (2) if there are no flanked sounds.
		Therefore, (1) we would expect l...l dissimilation to be most needed where a single vowel would be flanked by l's (polaris) or maybe even a sequence of vowels (familiaris) or a sequence of vowels and consonants similar to the flanking l's, e.g.
		Since liquid dissimilation was furthermore restricted for the most part to words where the two liquids were in adjacent syllables, we must agree with Browne that the Georgian rule (which is also restricted to one suffix) appears to be better (but, we still haven't checked the facts).

		The great majority of dissimillations involve segments that are not contiguous, but as with assimilations, the great majority involve an earlier sound changing with reference to a later one.
		Dissimilation is usually a sporadic phenomenon, but Grassmann's Law (Sanskrit and Greek) is an example of a systematic dissimilation.
		If the change of a sequence of fricatives such that one becomes a stop is dissimilation, then such changes as Proto-Germanic *Ïs to /ks/ (spelled x) in English would count as a regular sound law: PGmc.

	Linguist List - Dissertation Abstracts
		After a description of proband idiosycrasies, of speech-error categories, and sound-frequency-weighted data (for nominal data analysis), consonant dissimilations are discussed in terms of speech gestures, of tongue-twister characteristics, diadochokinesis, and speech tempo.
		There is agreement on language-change data but there are also causalities demanding further resaerch: Regressive dissimilation is a function of colliding intention while progressive dissimilation stems from muscle-innervation collision during the speech sound preparation period (p.
		The process of dissimilation is unavoidable in human speech to utter all different speech sounds of a language system, given the relatively small number of (universal!) articulatory gestures available and thus repeating themselves over a short period of time.

		In Sydney I presented the data from my 1988 paper on Nasal Cluster Dissimilation (details were posted in the summary which I missed, I believe).
		Given the marginal nature of dissimilation in phonological theory it would seem wise to reduce the number of cases that fall under this rubric, and explain them if possible in other terms.

	February - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		/y/[y], is the result of dissimilation, the tendency of like sounds to become unlike when they follow each other closely.
		Although sometimes criticized, this dissimilated pronunciation of February is used by educated speakers and is considered standard.
		The loss of the first r in this pronunciation can be accounted for by the phonological process known as dissimilation, by which similar sounds in a word tend to become less similar.
