| Research Abstract |
In this research project, the frequency of 17 reduced forms in a corpus of academic spoken English(MICASE) was examined. Prior to the corpus research, a database of reduced forms found in thirty English textbooks and study materials focusing on reduced forms was created, and the forms that appeared in the database with the greatest frequency were selected for inclusion in the remainder of the study. The overall frequency of these forms in the corpus was obtained by confirming their presence or absence in audio files. Additionally, comparisons were made between the frequencies of the forms in three different contexts.
