Function words of lexical bundles: the relation of frequency and reduction [PDF]

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2009
Studies of spontaneous speech have shown frequency effects on the amount of reduction produced by speakers, demonstrating that predictability facilitates production of a target word [Shi et al.
