Thank you so much for your hard work
Thanks for your support!
It can also be pronounced "What's THAT gotta do with anything?" Right?
It can, but we normally use "gotta" for "got to" as in "have to," and not with got to do (the "to do" goes together, not the "got to."). So, I've gotta do that (I have to do that), that's gotta do something (that has to do something), but "what's that got to do with."
Thank you, Christine! I've got 2 questions if you don't mind:
1) In "got to" is it more common in American English to use a reinforcement glottal stop plus unreleased t or just a glottal stop? Cuz it can be either like this [gɑːʔt̚ tə] with a reinforcement glottal stop and unreleased t or simply like this [gɑːʔ tə] with a glottal stop, when we don't even try to place the tongue into t position.
2) Consonants [p], [t], [k], [b], [d], [g] are all plosives. I've read that all six stop consonants [p], [t], [k], [b], [d], [g], in any combination at the juncture of words or within a compound word, are pronounced such that the first of them typically loses its release. So, do we also have a glottal t or a stop t in "that got"?
Hi, yes, you can just use a glottal stop without the unreleased t in "got to" because the tongue is going to the /t/ position for the "to." And yes, the "that" will also have a stop T because it's at the end of the word followed by a consonant.
