I am sorry I am asking about the "way English native speakers speak", many times.
And let me apologize in advance.
Granted, however, I would like to ask, as it is in the title
Can we say we can call it the English grammar when the speaker drops the articles because of the difficulties of the pronunciation??????
For example, please listen to the link's speech.link's speech.
The U.S ambasssador Samantha says at from 2:35 ~
"I think that China is genuinely worried about the threat, Kim Jung Un, and his nuclear programms poses to the penninsula and to international peace security....."
"I think that China is genuinely worried about the threat, Kim Jung Un, and his nuclear programms poses to the penninsula and to international peace security....."
Now, I am assuming due to the difficulties of the pronunciation, the definite article "the" was "intentionallyintentionally ( or unconciously or unconsciously)" dropped. I think this is very strange because she is using the definite article "the""the" before the word pennnisulapennnisula but not before "international peace security"."international peace security". ' which is singular )
Can I consideconsider this kind of "habits" or "tendencies", which I find many times when I listen to something, as the "correct" or "standard" English grammar?
I guess it is happening without being paid due attention by the native speakers ( eveneven by the U.S ambassador! ).
Thank you for your any kind of answers or comments in advance.
