Abstract
This study is an attempt to demonstrate some aspects of Persian phonology through statistical analysis of the phonological features in 54391 Persian lexemes. The phonostatistical aspects in (mental) lexicon of Persian speakers investigated in this study include stress pattern of lexemes in Persian, syllable and the number of syllables in Persian lexemes, phonotactics of Persian lexemes, frequency of phonological natural classes in general, frequency of phonological natural classes in syllable, phonotactics of consonant clusters, optimal syllable in the language, frequency of Persian phonemes and the like. The results of this phonostatistical research validate the phonological principles and concepts such as phonological natural classes, phonological processes, hierarchical structure of syllables and the like. They also demonstrate the frequency of segments and segmental strings which defines the spectrum of unmarkedness in Persian phonological system
