Phon 1.2: A Computational Basis for Phonological Database Elaboration and Model Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a new, open-source software program, called Phon, that is designed for the transcription, coding, and analysis of phonological corpora. Phon provides support for multimedia data linkage, segmentation, multiple-blind transcription, transcription validation, syllabification, alignment of target and actual forms, and data analysis. All of these functions are available through a user-friendly graphical interface. Phon, available on most computer platforms, supports data exchange among researchers with the TalkBank XML document format and the Unicode character set.. This program provides the basis for the elaboration of PhonBank, a database project that seeks to broaden the scope of CHILDES into phonological development and disorders.

Introducing Phon: A Software Solution for the Study of Phonological Acquisition.
In this paper, we introduce a new software program, Phon, which aims at providing unprecedented functionality for the elaboration, analysis and sharing of phonological data. Phon is part of a larger initiative, PhonBank, the brainchild of the first two authors of this paper, which aims at extending the software and database components of the CHILDES project into the realm of phonology. Phon can...

1. OVERVIEW. Phon is an open-source program for the transcription and analysis of phonological and phonetic data. It was designed to help systematize research in children’s phonological development, but many functions in Phon, particularly the powerful search function, can be used for a wide range of investigations in phonetics and phonology. Phon is compatible with other language processing pr...

Pick up a recent article on reading and you are very likely to encounter terms like phonological, phoneme, phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phoneme discrimination, phoneme identification, phonological processing, phonological decoding, phonemegrapheme correspondences, phonological dyslexia, phonics, or other phon words. The meanings of these many terms have much in common, but in no ...

A recognition system must include structures which accoupt f?r ~he di~feren~ aspects of. possible phonological vanab1hty m the mcommg speech s1gnal. To aid in dealing with variability at the phonological level, a grapheme-toseveral-phoneme strings module, V ARIONO, has been developed at LIMSI. Tests of this system showed the necess1ty of creating a hierarchical structure to order phon<?lo~ica~ ...
متن کاملFraming a socio-indexical basis for the emergence and cultural transmission of phonological systems
Moulin-Frier et al. (2016) proffer a conceptual framework and computational modeling architecture for the investigation of the emergence of phonological universals for spoken languages. They validate the framework and architecture by testing to see whether universals such as the prevalence of triangular vowel systems that show adequate dispersion in the F1-F2-F3 space can fall out of simulation...
