Phonology Assistant Features

Phonology Assistant has several features to assist you in your phonetics and phonology work.

Work with Source Data

Phonology Assistant works with source data transcribed from the Unicode IPA feature set from FieldWorks, Toolbox, and Speech Analyzer.

Transcription and Parsing

Transcribe Possible Alternatives

Transcribe possible alternatives for phones about which you’re uncertain.

Fine Tune Phonetic Parsing

Specify ambiguous sequences to help analyze phonetic parsing hypotheses by flagging sequences as ambiguous. This allows for various interpretations to be analyzed for validity.

Experiment with Transcriptions

Experiment by changing transcriptions “on-the-fly” without affecting the source data.

Data Analysis

Generate Charts and Histograms

Generate phonetic charts and histograms based on your data corpus.

Search Through Phonetic Data

With Phonology Assistant, you can search through phonetic data.

Distribution Charts

Analyze your phonetic data with Distribution Charts (previously XY charts in version 3.0). Default charts include Rhyme, Onset, and Coda charts.
