Syllable Structure of English Words: Implications For Lexical Access

Authors

  • Michiko Kosaka
  • Hisashi Wakita

Abstract

We parsed a large corpus of English words into syllables and into their constituents to determine the difference between high and low frequency words with respect to these structural properties. There arc obvious applications of the results to the lexical access problem in large-vocabulary isolated-word speech recognition systems.
