Abstract
Homophones have interesting linguistic properties that make them useful in many experiments involving language. This paper presents a set of 640 homop hones and their statistical properties. Statistics include word frequency, number of orthographic neighbors, and bigram frequency. Also, we provide th e phonological form and the syntactic category for each homophone.
