Positional frequency and versatility of bigrams for two- through nine-letter English words

Abstract

A comprehensive count of bigram frequencies and versatilities by position was tabulated for two- through nine-letter words recorded by Kucera and Francis (1967). A total of 577 bigrams were found variously distributed throughout words. Such counts should prove useful to workers who wish to determine the orthographic regularity of specific words. © 1980 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
