Subject: Looking for a phoneme similarity matrix
Dear all
I am looking for a phoneme similarity matrix of English. In the ideal
case, this would be a table with all English phonemes as row and
column names and each data point would be a measure of similarity
(ranging from 0 for complete dissimilarity to 1 for identical phonemes
in the main diagonal). Again ideally, the similarity of the phonemes
would derive from something like 'articulatory similarity' and/or
'production cost of moving from one phoneme to the next' such that,
e.g., plosives would be very different from glides and more similar to
fricatives.
Does anybody know whether such a matrix exists and where/how to obtain
it? (I'll post a summary of responses.) Thanks a lot in advance.

Can anybody recommend an introduction to Relevance Theory short enough
to be covered in about 2 weeks? It's for a third-year introductory
Pragmatics course taken by linguistics and communication studies
majors. If there is enough interest, I will post a summary. Thanks.
