I never noticed this in my ownspeech--when I try; to do it ilt seems like

akind of anticipatory assimilation tothe /l/ of -LORE.

Subject: folk/folklore



An astute sophomore in my linguistics class yesterday asked why "folk" has

no /l/ but why the same element in "folklore" does. I had never noticed

this difference in my own pronunciation before, but I maintain it. Anybody

got a good explanation? My only guess is that "folklore" with an /l/ in

"folk" is a reading-influenced pronunciation.
