<b>제목:</b> [Lingtyp] Frequency of front/back, high/mid vowels</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Dear list members,<br>
do we have any information about the cross-linguistic validity of the <br>
following hypotheses?<br>
<br>
1) front vowels like /i/, /e/ are more frequent than back vowels like <br>
/u/, /o/<br>
<br>
2) high vowels like /i/, /u/ are more frequent than mid vowels like <br>
/e/, /o/.<br>
<br>
3) "corner vowels" /a/, /i/, /u/ are more frequent than anything else.<br>
<br>
I am interested in information about types (phonemic inventory) as well <br>
as tokens (counts in texts).<br>
<br>
Best wishes and than you for your time<br>
Sebastian<br>
