ITRI-00-33 A MetaPhoneme Inventory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the sharing of phonolog-ical information in a multilingual inheritance-based lexicon. It explores the possibility of establishing a phoneme inventory for a group of languages in which language-speciic phonemes function as \allophones" of newly deened meta-phonemes. Danish, Dutch, English, and Ger-man were taken as a test bed and their vowel phoneme inventories were studied. The results of the cross-linguistic analysis are presented in this paper. The paper concludes by showing how these metaphonemes can be incorporated in a multilingual inheritance-based lexicon.

متن کاملCross Linguistic Phoneme Correspondences
Cross-linguistic phoneme correspondences, or metaphonemes1, can be defined across languages which are relatively closely related in exactly the same way as correspondences can be defined for dialects, or accents, of a single language (e.g. O’Connor, 1973; Fitt, 2001). In this paper we present the theory of metaphonemes, comparing them with traditional archiand morphophonemes as well as with sim...

This paper describes a framework for multilingual inheritance-based lexical representation which allows sharing of information across languages at all levels of linguistic description. The paper focuses on phonology. It explores the possibility of establishing a phoneme inventory for a group of languages in which language-specific phonemes function as “allophones” of newly defined metaphonemes....
