Sound Change Applier

This is a webbification of Mark Rosenfelder's Sound Change Applier, which is written in C. See his documentation for a basic description. There is also a snazzy web version called the dialect generator. I claim three advantages for this version:

Ancestral words

Derived Words



Sound Changes

XML Format

To convert a file of words or sound change definitions to XML format, insert as an inital line:

<root><a><![CDATA[

and as a final line:

]]></a></root>

These lines will not register as rules or category definitions if used with the C version of the Sound Change Applier. However, XML input appears only to work with Internet Explorer.

Development Status

Last modified Wednesday 6 August 2003. I/O and documentation are still under development.

Sound changes are working OK under Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and 6.0 and Nescape 4.5.

Offline loading of local files works for IE 6.0. (Trimming of a leading blank line is desirable, but not necessary.)
