Forrest Davis and Dr. Abby Cohn presented a poster titled "The relationship between lexical frequency, compositionality, and phonological reduction in English compounds"  at the 94th Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA 2020), held Jan 2-5, 2020

Poster Abstract: 

This work investigates the effect of lexical frequency and compositionality on phonological reduction.

A sample of compounds selected from the Buckeye Corpus (Pitt et al 2007) was analyzed to test the effects of lexical frequency and compositionality on the rime duration of compounds: do more opaque compounds (​cupboard​) exhibit more phonological reduction (shorter rimes) than transparent ones (​blueberry)​?
