I have been working further on LEXPARSE: the program that takes
Alex's pronunciation lexicon and adds syllable structure to it.
I think I have taken into account Richard's comments on my last
attempt, and I have done a lot more 'copying' of features
throughout the structure.
There are still some things I am not sure of: how far should
I distribute VOI attributes, and how do I set the CHECKED
attribute?
I am not convinced I have made the right choices about putting
CNS units directly below ONSET and in putting ACODA at the
same level as CNS units of CODA.
The output below is a deliberate copy of the words that Richard
used to demnstrate YorkTalk output.
I will put the complete lexicon on the Web site this week. I also
aim to set up an FTP address soon so that you can all download
the recordings.
