[Corpora-List] Probability-Frequency Tables

[Kim Witten]

Hi Corpora Subscribers,
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:

Frequency of individual phones of the English sound inventory, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of speech.
Positional frequency of individual phones of the English sound inventory, from a balanced corpus of speech.
Bi-phone frequency of pairs of phones of the English sound inventory, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of speech.
Positional bi-phone frequency of pairs of phones of the English sound inventory, from a balanced corpus of speech.
Frequency of individual letters of the English alphabet, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of text.
Positional frequency of individual letters of the English alphabet, from a balanced corpus of text.
Bi-letter frequency of pairs of letters of the English alphabet, in all word positions combined, from a balanced corpus of text.
Positional bi-letter frequency of pairs of letters of the English alphabet, from a balanced corpus of text.


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. Thanks!

Best wishes,
Kim
