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 7 August 2003. I/O and documentation are still under development.

Sound changes are working OK under Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and 6.0, Nescape 4.5, and the NTL (UK) TV internet web browser, as at 7 August 2003.

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