TABLE 2.
Mean values for the actual and perceived utterances and the 10 random samples of words
| Act. | Per. | R1 | R2 | R3 | R4 | R5 | R6 | R7 | R8 | R9 | R10 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phonemes | 3.56 | 3.52 | 3.68 | 3.60 | 3.64 | 3.77 | 3.64 | 3.68 | 3.78 | 3.65 | 3.69 | 3.69 |
| Syllables | 1.20 | 1.21 | 1.29 | 1.33 | 1.39 | 1.37 | 1.36 | 1.35 | 1.21 | 1.33 | 1.33 | 1.35 |
| Familiarity | 6.84 | 6.84 | 6.80 | 6.82 | 6.84 | 6.85 | 6.83 | 6.80 | 6.82 | 6.88 | 6.87 | 6.86 |
| Frequency | 1.58 | 1.68 | .84 | .94 | .99 | .94 | .90 | 1.06 | .93 | 1.10 | 1.03 | .91 |
| Density | 12.3 | 13.1 | 10.6 | 10.4 | 9.7 | 9.4 | 10.6 | 10.1 | 10.9 | 10.8 | 10.3 | 10.1 |
| NHF | 1.22 | 1.28 | .85 | .84 | .78 | .68 | .85 | .81 | .86 | .85 | .81 | .71 |
Notes: Act. = Actual utterance. Per. = Perceived utterance. R = Random sample of comparable words. Phonemes = length of the word in number of phonemes. Syllables = length of the word in number of syllables. NHF = neighborhood frequency. Frequency and NHF are in log10 values. For the random samples, the number of phonemes, the number of syllables, and the familiarity ratings were equated to those values for the actual and perceived utterances; these values are provided only for comparison.
