FREQUENCY OF CONVERSIFIXES IN THE SPOKEN AND WRITTEN AMERICAN SPEECH
In the course of quantitative analysis of TV speech [CNN-10] have been extracted 528 different words in 20 conversifixes (kind of suffixes) which have been used 2157 times. Results of quantitative analysis of distribution of conversifixal types (-down, -in, -off, -out, -up, etc.) and classes (Vo, Ver, VingN, Ved, VingA) in spoken speech by CNN-10 anchor are compared with that of written speech extracted from Frequency dictionary [8]. Model frequency (Fm) and Summary frequency (Fs) of conversifixes in spoken and written speech have been shown to be reliably different from each other.
