<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Corpora Subscribers,<br>I was wondering if any of you know of some resources for finding/building/working with some letter, phone, bi-letter, and bi-phone frequency tables? Optimally, I'm looking for 8 tables:<div><br><ol><li>Frequency of individual phones of the English sound inventory, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of speech.</li><li>Positional frequency of individual phones of the English sound inventory, from a balanced corpus of speech.</li><li>Bi-phone frequency of pairs of phones of the English sound inventory, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of speech.</li><li>Positional bi-phone frequency of pairs of phones of the English sound inventory, from a balanced corpus of speech.</li><li>Frequency of individual letters of the English alphabet, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of text.</li><li>Positional frequency of individual letters of the English alphabet, from a balanced corpus of text.</li><li>Bi-letter frequency of pairs of letters of the English alphabet, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of text.</li><li>Positional bi-letter frequency of pairs of letters of the English alphabet, from a balanced corpus of text.</li></ol><br><br>These tables based on American English is preferable, but other Englishes or smaller corpora would be useful too. I imagine that this resource is out there somewhere, in some form, and I'd prefer not to spend a lot of time building a corpus to reinvent the wheel. Anybody got any leads? Even if I could get my hands on one or two of these off the list, it'd be a *great* help for my dissertation.
