In this paper, we will discuss the role of different levels of frequency distributions in sentenceprocessing and in written production, looking at French homophones. A comparison of experimentaldata and corpus statistics will demonstrate that lexical frequencies as well as local and globalcoherences have to be taken into account to fully explain the empirically established patterns.
