TEXT CHARACTERISTICS OF TASK INPUT AND DIFFICULTY IN SECOND LANGUAGE LISTENING COMPREHENSION (2013, methodology): “Likewise, the word-initial biphone sequence /sʌ/ carries higher phonotactic probability or biphone frequency than /ji/ because /sʌ/ is a more frequent word-initial sequence in British English (Vitevitch & Luce, 2004 ).”
A Window Into Early Literacy: Exploring the Cognitive and Linguistic Underpinnings of Invented Spelling (2008, methodology): “These values were derived from the online calculator described in Vitevitch and Luce (2004).”
Why reduce? Phonological neighborhood density and phonetic reduction in spontaneous speech (2012, methodology): “Two separate phonotactic probability estimates for each word type were obtained through the web-based phonotactic probability calculator (Vitevitch & Luce, 2004).”
