3. Contingent frequency bias. Just as spreading activation favors the utterance of units that are frequent, it favours the production of combinations of units that are frequent. For example, in the context of an initial /k/, the vowel /æ/ is more frequent than /U/; that is, there are more syllables that begin /kæ/ than /kU/. Given an initial /w/, however, the contingent frequencies of /æ/ and /U/ are not very different from each other.
