Considering the phonemic restoration effect, how would you remove a questionable word so that it was not recognizable by the audience?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The phonemic restoration effect demonstrates our ability to supply a missing or poorly pronounced phoneme. Therefore, eliminating only the first or last sound of a word would still leave the word readily recognizable. To make sure the word is not known to the viewers, you should "bleep out" or eliminate the entire word (starting the bleep slightly before the word and continuing just after the word would produce the best results due to coarticulation).
