A program that would accept a list of roots and sound changes, and output the result of applying those sound changes. It would accept digraphs (or even use only digraphs), accept categories (V=any vowel), apply subrules (vowel lengthening with consonant loss, for example), optional choices in the environment, and so on. The Sound change program on the valdyas website is great, but doesn't work very well because it is limited to single phonemes. That means that if two phonemes combine to create one (/s/+/j/ > /S/, for example), the program applies rules to the /j/ after it has supposedly merged the two. To be honest, I'd love to see a good program for this from anyone.... Aidan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
