testing simon

You can download Ralf’s German dictionary (version 0.1.6). It has the following features:

Many lexemes now contain a role attribute, e.g.:

<lexeme role="Substantiv">
<grapheme>Simon</grapheme>
<phoneme>ziːmɔn</phoneme>
</lexeme>

I hope that a future version of simon makes use of the role attribute. Maybe I will transform Ralf's German dictionary into the Hadifix format. This would have the advantage that terminal information (= Category) would be available for many lexemes. Here is an example for a Verb:

<lexeme role="Verb">
<grapheme>anreden</grapheme>
<phoneme>ʔanʀeːdən</phoneme>
<phoneme>ʔanʀeːdn̩</phoneme>
</lexeme>

You can see that two pronunciations are available. You can use both pronunciations with simon. Internally, simon uses the following SAMPA notations:

a n R e: d @ n
a n R e: d n=

Here is another example:

<lexeme>
<grapheme>eintippen</grapheme>
<phoneme>ʔaɪ̯ntɪpən</phoneme>
<phoneme>ʔaɪ̯ntɪpm̩</phoneme>
</lexeme>

You can see that the second pronunciation ends with an m̩ (and not with an n̩). This means that you can speak intuitively.

I added more than 10.000 alternative pronunciations to the current version of the dictionary using this stylesheet.
