The symbol-sound correspondence status of vowel-cluster (two or more adjacent vowel letters) spelling in American English was investigated. The source of the study was Venezky's 1963 revision of the Thorndike Frequency Count. A computer print-out of the 20,000 word corpus was analyzed to determine the letter-sound correspondence of vowel cluster…

Johnson, Dale D. – 1970
Children's pronunciations of vowel clusters in synthetic words were analyzed in relation to common English words containing the same vowel clusters. Subjects were 436 elementary-school students of both high and low reading levels from a suburban, an urban, and a rural community. Independent variables were grade level, sex, reading level, community…

Johnson, Dale D.; Venezky, Richard L. – 1975
This study was designed to explore relationships between type and token frequencies and contextual position effects; specifically, the major question was whether or not vowel cluster pronunciation preferences of adult readers were more affected by frequency of occurrence than by graphemic environment. Two opposing hypotheses were tested regarding…

Johnson, Dale D. – 1970
This research report examines the pronunciation that children give to synthetic words containing vowel-cluster spellings and analyzes the observed pronunciations in relation to common English words containing the same vowel clusters. The pronunciations associated with vowel-cluster spellings are among the most unpredictable letter-sound…
