Abstract
In British English, word-initial plosives as in tune and deuce coalesce with the following yod, whereas word-initial fricatives as in sue and Zeus do not, with a small number of exceptions such as sugar and sure attested. This paper discusses, based on the microanalysis of palatalization and on intrasyllabic structure, why plosives are susceptible to the process and why the exceptions underwent coalescence.
