Haedus Toolbox SCA, Manual (DRAFT)
The following is provided only as an example and is subject to revision. The contents are incomplete, but I'm interested in seeing if the information provided is clear, or need to be explained better. Also, if the guided example is a good instructional model to showcase supported functionality.

I just need to remove some secret closed-source parts of my project from the main project, because it pertains to research I would like to do my dissertation on, ideally. Then I might throw it up to Github, or at least make the source available with the jars here. I'd like to work on documentation this weekend, so I might just release what I have now, along with the source.
But I would be deeply honored to have my work put to such a use.

So, at this point I'll add that I might be very close to a release. You can turn segmentation and normalization on or off in the script file and this appears to propagate correctly - this hasn't been extensively tested yet though. I would really love to get negatives into rules at least for variables and literals if nowhere else.
But I still need to produce a manual, and add support for reserving character sequences to be treated as single sounds. I might just release it tonight anyway....

Yeah, I was about to request that, especially since I needed to created a thread soon anyway.
I'm happy because it's Friday and I can stop working in about an hour.

[quote Rhetorica][quote dhok]One idea is to have an entry field for strings of characters that must be treated as single characters. Using Zompist's SCA, I've often found myself resorting to such extravagant representations as Devanagari characters for phonemes that the Latin alphabet has trouble representing easily.
This SCA could set aside a block of rarely-used Unicode characters- say, Yi syllabics- and replace each string in this block with a character from this block. (The nice thi...

[quote Nessari]I think the issue is more that if you have situations XYZ where pʰ > p, it's fiendishly hard to get the rules to not treat the subsequent p along with original p, if that's what you want to do.

Sorry, I don't follow this.

I can do both of those examples. Syllables are a little hard, but I think the approach I've got in mind for metathesis should also work for syllables generally.
Rule feeding and bleeding is definitely hard. Something I'd kind of like to do is analyze rules and produce a graph that examines which rules interact with each other, and which rules are unordered with respect to one another.
Ultimately, this SCA is part of another system for hypothesis testing proposed reconstructions...

Metathesis might not actually be too difficult, though every time I've thought some thing like that I've been wrong. I get the feeling that the solution lies somewhere inside a LinkedHashMap, which might be a good way of doing this one thing in general.
Right now I'm finishing up adding support of legacy segmentation (that is, no special segmentation) and normalization control. The test version used canonical decomposition, and future versions will do so by default, but you can turn it ...

Looks like it went well. I'm flipping exhausted though, I'm probably oversleeping.
And pretty soon I'm gonna release a new version of the sound-change applier that nobody asked for.

If someone was gonna do it, of course it's gonna be Destin.
In other news, I mailed out the letter to my father. So that's something. I'm probably take it pretty well, provided the initial surprise doesn't kill him. It took me most of last night, on and off (mostly on) to re-edit the letter and then set up the margins and lines in the paper by hand, and then copy it out. Hopefully he will appreciate the effort I put in.

[quote dewrad]I have. I've had four PMs from him over four days with increasingly frantic subject lines asking for numbers in a throwaway sketchlang. When I finally replied and told him to sod off, he replied apologising and then asking for the numbers [i]in a completely different conlang.[/i][/quote]
Yep, that sounds like him. He doesn't like it when you don't respond, I don't think I ever did. JANKO'ED!

Family stuff can be weird. I'm not really that close to anyone and can probably write-off mostly anyone. We're all pretty liberal, though that doesn't eliminate the possibility of frustrating misunderstandings, bullshit platitudes about "whatever you need to feel happy", or benign misgendering.
I'm actually not even going to change my facebook account. I've been pretty open with everyone other than my father and co-workers, at least recently. I'm supposed to see my father in a little ov...

I downloaded the forms I need in order to file a name change with the state of NY. Also, drafted a letter to my father. I'm pretty sure he'll take it well, I just feel kind of bad for not talking to him sooner. Also, I'm working on a monogram.

Telmona: Tǝɣrâ person marking and word order (V2! Direct-inverse! Isolating!) (2014-07-10 11:56:15) :
This is pretty cool, I like the V2 constraint. I forget which one, but a few years ago I was looking at the typological properties of a Penutian language, which I think used inverse marking which was somehow complicated by an animacy hierarchy. This feels vaguely familiar in that respect.
