Constructor Details

#initialize(language, transcription) ⇒ Syllabify

Create a new syllabified representation of an IPA transcription.

Examples:

transcription = CodyRobbins::Syllabify.new(:en, 'dɪˌsɔrgənəˈze͡ɪʃən')

transcription.to_s      #=> 'dɪ.ˌsɔr.gə.nə.ˈze͡ɪ.ʃən'
transcription.syllables #=> [dɪ, ˌsɔr, gə, nə, ˈze͡ɪ, ʃən]

Parameters:

  • language (Symbol, String) —

    The ISO 639 code of the language represented in the transcription. If the language has a two-letter ISO 639-1 code, use that; otherwise, use the three-letter ISO 639-3 code. This maps to the phoneme inventory definitions in the languages directory.

  • transcription (String) —

    An IPA transcription to syllabify. Any phonemes represented by digraphs must be combined with a tie as discussed in the README.
