Table 1. How to calculate Entropy from participants pronunciations for the pseudoword <wap>.

Pronunciations	Proportion	Proportion * Log
(7) wæp	7/(7 + 9 + 1) = 0.41	0.41 * log₂(0.41) = 0.53
(9) wɔp	9/(7 + 9 + 1) = 0.53	0.53 * log₂(0.53) = 0.49
(1) wælp	1/(7 + 9 + 1) = 0.06	0.06 * log₂(0.06) = 0.24
		Entropy
		1.26

Note: In the Proportion * Log column we multiplied the numbers by -1 for easier interpretability
