Sandhi
One names sandhi (Sanskrit: संधि, “connection”), according to the Indian grammairiens, the phonetic Modifications (generally of the assimilation S) which undergo words following itself when they are pronounced in a statement or those which know the Morphème S being assembled to form the words.
When the sandhi relates to the beginning or the end of this word, it is known as external . Inside, it is internal :
- the external sandhi applies for example to the phonetic modifications undergone by the final (termination if necessary) of a word according to the nature of the first letter of the word succeeding to him. Thus, in French the rules of connection and sequence are facts arising with the external sandhi;
- the sandhi intern, answering slightly different rules sometimes, is exerted within a word between its Morphème S constitutive, as between its root, its Préfixe S and its Désinence S. For example, in Turkish, the final - K passes regularly to - ğ when it is followed of a vocalic ending: köpek “dog (Personal)” → köpeğ-i (Accusative).
The rules of sandhi suitable for the Sanskrit are too complex to be here detailed. They are it in a specific article.
The sandhi can also relate to the tons words following itself. It is named then tonal Sandhi .
Lastly, one will not confuse the sandhi with the phenomenon of the Consonant shift, which takes seat only in one precise syntactic context.
