How does the example of assimilation in ‘quite good’ illustrate the concept of assimilation in terms of place of articulation?
In "quite good," the /t/ in "quite" is an alveolar consonant, meaning it's produced with the tongue touching the alveolar ridge. However, before the velar /ɡ/ in "good," the /t/ undergoes assimilation to become more like a velar consonant. As a result, the /t/ sound in "quite" shifts its place of articulation from alveolar to velar, becoming similar to the following /ɡ/ sound in "good."
