I'm not sure what the review process is for the source, but the paper [1] is pretty interesting. Lots of cool findings/references in there like:
- There is a measurable difference in information density based on the sex of the speaker
- Syllables were chosen as the base unit of measurement because morphemes (words) are too big/linguistically varied and phonemes (sound equivalent of letters) are too small and likely to be dropped in regular speech. I'd like to see the same analysis using phonemes to see how it changes, especially between dialects.
