phonetisr: A Naive IPA Tokeniser

This package is a (naive) tokeniser of phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

With phonetisr, you can parse texts and word lists transcribed in IPA and tokenise them into phones so that you can perform quantitative analyses.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("stefanocoretta/phonetisr")

Usage

library(phonetisr)

# IPA strings to be tokenised
ipa <- c("pʰãkʰ", "tʰum̥", "ɛkʰɯ")

# List of character sequences to be considered single phones
ph <- c("pʰ", "tʰ", "kʰ", "ã", "m̥")

# Tokenise strings
phonetise(ipa, multi = ph)
#> [[1]]
#> [1] "pʰ" "ã"  "kʰ"
#> 
#> [[2]]
#> [1] "tʰ" "u"  "m̥" 
#> 
#> [[3]]
#> [1] "ɛ"  "kʰ" "ɯ"

Roadmap

Scan for illegal (non-IPA) characters.
Provide a list of default multi-character phones.
Functions for data import/export.
Ignore diacritics.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
