两个明显的因素限制了英语单词的正字法规则：(a)大多数字符可以对应几个不同的音；(b)字符可以单独存在，也可以以各种方式组合成一个音素。本研究通过对大量英语语料库的分析来解决第二个问题。数据描述了语料库中每个字符（或字符簇）作为单个音素对应的频率，而不是与其他字符组合（或分解）的频率。举例说明了这些数据在认知研究中刺激材料的构建、阅读障碍的神经心理学研究以及单词命名的计算模型中的潜在应用。
Two distinct factors limit the orthographic regularity of English words: (a) Most characters can correspond to several different sounds and (b) characters can either stand alone or be combined in various ways for pronunciation as a single phoneme. This study addresses the second of these issues through the analysis of a large corpus of English words. Data are presented describing the frequency that each character (or character cluster) functioned in the corpus as a correspondent of a single phoneme rather than being combined with other characters (or decomposed). Examples are provided regarding potential applications of these data in the construction of stimulus materials for cognitive studies, in neuropsychological investigations of dyslexia, and in computational models of word naming.
