This study suggests that assimilation and deletion in English consonant clusters are functioned by the shared underlying mechanism. Unlike the general belief that they are operated by the opposite principles from each other, in terms of the interaction between adjacent consonants, the two phenomena persue the same goal, the harmony in cluster, and share the same perceptual constraints. Therefore, this study suggests that there exists a rank of English-specific feature preservation depending on the information of perceptual cues which each feature possesses. In addition, this paper argues that both assimilation and deletion are products of feature loss resulted from lack of perceptual cues. That is to say, if a consonant loses one of its features, a place feature or a manner feature, due to lack of perceptual cues, we can call it partial assimilation. But if a consonant loses all its features, we can call it deletion of a consonant. Which feature is deleted can be determined by the rank of feature preservation. To illustrate this assumption, only perceptual constraints associated with the preservation of each feature have been established and used to analyze two phenomena in Optimality Theory. Therefore, We can apply those perceptual constraints to assimilation and deletion equally and obtain right outputs.
