What is a sound link in grammar?

The term "sound link" is not a standard grammatical term. It's likely you're referring to one of these concepts:

1. Liaison: This is a phonetic phenomenon where a sound is added at the end of a word to facilitate smoother pronunciation when the next word starts with a vowel sound. For example:

* "an apple" becomes "an apple"

* "the end" becomes "the end"

2. Elision: This is the omission of a sound or syllable in speech. It's often used to make pronunciation easier and faster. For example:

* "gonna" for "going to"

* "wanna" for "want to"

3. Linking Words/Phrases: This refers to words or phrases that connect different parts of a sentence or paragraph, creating a smooth flow and logical connection. Examples include:

* Conjunctions: and, but, or, so, because, etc.

* Transitional phrases: in addition, on the other hand, however, therefore, etc.

4. Sound Symbolism (onomatopoeia): This is the use of words that imitate the sounds they represent, like "buzz," "meow," or "crash." This is more related to semantics (meaning) than grammar.

If you can provide more context about where you encountered the term "sound link," I might be able to give you a more specific answer.
