One high-frequency word, specify, was excluded from the analysis because a syllable is dropped with the addition of -ic in thederivedwordspecific.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The frequency categories for the real words (high and low) were based onderivedwordfrequency, not stem frequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is intuitively appealing because relative frequency is contingent upon variations inderivedwordfrequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The current study used a different set of words representing a wider range ofderivedwordfrequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, producing accurate primary stress in aderivedwordmay result from whole-word access, especially for high-frequency words.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If stress is stored with the wholederivedword, we would expect few accurate stress productions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These adults were different from the adults who participated in thederivedwordproduction task.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, only on -tion words were there relative frequency relationships in which thederivedwordwas greater than the stem.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Frequency was explored in three different ways: wholederivedwordfrequency, suffix frequency, and relative frequency of thederivedwordto the stem.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Independent of thederivedwordfrequency levels, there were remarkably strong differences among the three suffixes included in the study.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Relative frequency was calculated by dividing stem frequency byderivedwordfrequency.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In some instances thederivedwordwas borrowed much later, as in brief+brevity or fatal+fatality.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In other words, only a semantically similar entity can be a head of thederivedword.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, in a correlation, stress accuracy andderivedwordfrequency fail to reach significance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Information about a wholederivedwordwould include not only its segmental characteristics, but also its rhythmic structure including primary stress placement.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The lower the number, the more frequent thederivedwordis relative to the stem; higher relative frequency numbers represent higher stem frequencies relative to thederivedword.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If children start with a whole word, then frequency of the wholederivedwordshould affect the specificity of the lexical representation, including the stress characteristics.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We examined only the real words to determine if the relative frequency between the stem andderivedwordplayed a role in production accuracy.
