A ladder lattice model is studied analytically to understand the coupling between the acoustic and optical phonons. When the optical phonon becomes soft at a G-point, the anticrossing between the two branches takes place. In a simple case, the optical spectral intensity vanishes around the anticrossing wave number. The coupled spectral function is not a simple superposition of two damped harmonic forms. It is shown that the off-diagonal component of static susceptibility for the elastic and polar waves is decisive to obtain the correct spectral intensity.
