We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Calling all across the ether,

Although the term orthotactic is used extensively in linguistics,
neuroscience and psychology, I have yet to find a dictionary entry,
which provides a definition one can reference.  A working definition
being: sequences of letters that are 'legal' in a given language.

Can anyone put me out of my misery, or tell me why this is: no entry
in the OED?

Cheers,

John
