Abstract
Corpora of approximately 10,000 words have been examined in five languages: Swedish, English, German, Italian, and French. A 2-class and a 6- class "cohort" classification have been defined, and calculations made of the number of cohorts, the number of unique cohorts, and their maximum, and expected sizes. The discriminatory ability of stress is also considered.
