End--End Transition Probability

[Emma May Smith]

Inspire by Patrick's recent presentation I thought I would look at the transition probabilities of End--End pairs. These are the likelihoods (as a fraction of 1) that a word with a given ending will be followed by a word with another given ending. (I'm surprised nobody has done this before, so if they have, please do say.)

Hi Emma,

as Torsten mentioned in another thread, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. did something roughly similar in 2003 (Table 3). But his data show deviation from the expected, and he processed the whole text, so results are not immediately comparable.

Ah, that's no surprise. He even splits into [ey] and [dy]. Suppose this is a wellworn groove!
