Hi,

I am looking for statistical studies on homophonous characters or
group of characters in English (e.g. <f> and <ph>).  If you are
familiar with publications or web resources, which cover this type of
redundancy - how widespread it is and, hopefully, frequency counts,
please let me know. I will post the summary, given sufficient number
of responses.

Thanks,

hi all,

i'm currently writing a research paper on the influence of motherese on a
child's language acquisition. unfortunately, i can't seem to find any audio
files on the internet to analyze certain features of motherese.
i would be very pleased if any of you could help me in finding short
motherese audio files. wav, mp3, ect, all welcome. just need some resource!
a link, a database, or anything else helpful will do.

thx in advance,

chris.
