noun

La descomposición, la separación

The separation of the features of a segment (such as a nasal vowel or palatal consonant) into distinct segments; for example, the separation of a nasal vowel such as /ɑ̃/ into a vowel /ɑ/ and a nasal consonant /n/ (i.e., into /ɑn/) which often occurs when a language which does not use nasal vowels borrows from a language which does use them.

Examples :

"The simplification of borrowed words, through unpacking, is often seen when English speakers pronounce the French word "croissant" by adding a distinct 'n' sound at the end, instead of using the nasal vowel. "

La simplificación de las palabras prestadas, a través de la descomposición, se observa a menudo cuando los angloparlantes pronuncian la palabra francesa "croissant" agregando un sonido "n" distinto al final, en lugar de usar la vocal nasal.
