dhoklang Scratchpad (NP: Algonquoclone) (2015-06-24 04:50:50) :
Finally have a proto-lang and daughter changes that I really, really like, and that I think I can run with. We'll call it [b]Proto-Nahtak[/b], from [i]nahtāk[/i] 'people, tribe'. Briefly, its phonology is as follows:
Plain stops/affricates: /p t ts tʃ k kʷ ʔ/ <p t c č k kʷ ʔ>
Ejectives: /p' t' ts' tʃ' k' kʷ'/ <p' t' c' č' k' kʷ'>
Nasals: /m n ŋ/ <m n ŋ>
Fricatives: /θ s ʃ h ɬ/ <θ s š h ł>
Liquids: /w ɾ l j/ <w r l y>
Short vowels: /...

Cool shit. Sounds like we can look forward to a Tern -- Vana most-structuralist-magical-conworld wrestling match ~
(Also props for opening a scratchpad. Everybody should open a scratchpad to force Rhetorica to implement a scratchpad-improving technology that shall not be named here. Or tell me how to do it.)

Tern Messabout (2015-06-23 02:51:39) :
Before the weather, though, some goddessness.
There are three top deities of the Ternish pantheon --
- the Goddess of Ambivalence. She doesn't do anything, ever. Do not worship.
- the Goddess of Creation, the most mindless of the goddesses, who makes things. Good things, bad things, nice things, cruel things, perfect things, horribly broken things, she makes 'em all.
- and the Goddess of Destruction, who removes what the GoC makes, but not until she's fully taken it a...

Yeah! That's exactly what I'm doing actually, I just need to work on feature weights (or perhaps, probability of feature-transfer, something like that).
My SCA handles metathesis quite nicely, I'll have you know! I need to finish the manual for that too, I've been slogging through it for a month.

[i]what is it with SCA developers who have trouble with metathesis gah[/i]
I'm really glad to hear you're using a sophisticated featural vector approach. My next big bio project is going to be something very analogous; I started work on it a couple of years ago but scrapped it because I realised I was implementing the actual alignment procedure in an asinine way.
A neat trick I discovered which might help handling metathesis: convert your feature vectors to floating point (if t...

happiness thread (2015-06-17 11:54:51) :
Definitively NOT using Levenstein. Each segment in a sequence is represented by a multivalue feature vector. Right now, this is just a multidimensional vector distance weighted by the strength of each feature (they use different scales), but I'd prefer it represented a probability (or -log thereof) that a pair was related) which is obviously more complicated to model.
I don't have metathesis explicitly implemented yet, but the algorithm already has a way of comparing short (length...

I think hwhatting is analyzing "Tel Aviv" as if it were Italic. You know, [i]tālis vīta[/i].[/quote]
You're close; I often jokingly substitute "Tel Aviv" for "C'est la vie." (I know a lot of people who do that, but I see that it hasn't spread to this forum.)
