Consonant- Vowel (CV) linking : a syllable final consonant is linked to a syllable initial vowel,
so that it sounds as if it starts the second syllable rather than finishing the previous one:
start up /stɑːt ʌp/ his own /hɪz əʊn call out /kɔːl aʊt/
Vowel - Vowel (VV) linking : a syllable final vowel is linked to a syllable initial vowel using an
"intrusive" consonant - /r/, /w/ or /j/ :
I saw it /aɪ sɔː r ɪt/ go and see /gəʊ w ənd siː/
my only hope /maɪ j əʊnliː həʊp/
Many writers refer to CV linking as catenation and VV linking as liaison, and this is the way the terms
are used in other articles here in the ELT Notebook.
