===Phonemico===
Contributors: Allison Sliter, Ian Dees
Tags: linguistics, phonology, .csv parse,
Requires at least: Ruby 1.8
Tested up to: 1.9, JRuby
==Description==
This command line application reads data from a(n included) .csv* containing all the IPA symbols represeting linguistic phones and the phonological features associated with them. It parses the .csv and allows the user to look up all features for a given linguistic phone, all phones for a given phonological feature, and compare two phones to determine what features they have in common and in contrast. It's meant to be used by phonologists and phonology students to aid and speed phonological analysis and rule writing. The software uses Unicode UTF-8's IPA's extension character set.
==To Install==
From Ruby Gems:
Run the following commands from a command line application:
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install phonemico
phonemico
From source
sudo gem install highline
ruby -rubygems bin/phonemico
==Basic Usage==
Command line application provides three options
1. List all features for a given sound
2. List all sounds that share a given feature value
3. List all shared features for two or more sounds
Choose one by number.
1. Will prompt you to enter a sound - enter any sound from the IPA. Latin characters can be typed. Non-latin characters can be copied and pasted from the character map.** Africates are typed as two symbols (no binding character). If you've chosen a valid symbol, you'll get a full list of the phonological features associated with the that sound.
2. Will prompt you to enter a feature - not just the feature but also the value. Like this "+consonantal". If you've chosen a feature that's on the chart and has sounds associated with it, you'll get a list of those sounds.
3. Will prompt you to enter two sounds. As above, latin characters can be typed, non-latin characters can be copied and pasted from the character map.**
Africates are typed as two symbols (no binding character). If the symbols are distinct and both valid, you will get a list of all the features the two sounds share and a list of the features unique to the first.
*Special thanks to Eric Biggs and Bruce Hayes for their preparation of the sound features data included
**note about g. The voiced velar plosive is represented by the English letter g. With most English letters, the IPA symbol and the English symbol are identical. For some reason, the g is the exception. The latin script g is used in unicode to represent the voiced velar plosive. This software is designed to take a user input of either the standard g or the script g and treat it as if they represent the same sound. Because they do.
