ENGLISH TO PHONEME FIXES Here are some bug fixes for ENGLISH.C (the English to Phoneme rules). Mostly the order of "^" (one consonant) and ":" (zero or more consonants) have to be reversed because they are parsed from right to left (because the sequence "^:" only appears in the left context part). One rule (for "U") got garbled and the letter "H" had been left out of the special case for "WHERE". My thanks to Larry R. Custead (U. of Saskatchewan) for pointing these problems out. -------------------------------- 190 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:E", "D", Nothing, "t" [NEW] {"#:^E", "D", Nothing, "t" -------------------------------- 206 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"'^:", "E", Nothing, Silent [NEW] {"':^", "E", Nothing, Silent -------------------------------- 321 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:", "I", "^+", "IH" [NEW] {"#:^", "I", "^+", "IH" -------------------------------- 357 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:", "L", "%", "AXl" [NEW] {"#:^", "L", "%", "AXl" -------------------------------- 429 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"^:", "O", "N", "AH" [NEW] {":^", "O", "N", "AH" -------------------------------- 437 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:", "OM", Anything, "AHm" [NEW] {"#:^", "OM", Anything, "AHm" -------------------------------- 491 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:##", "S", Nothing, "z" [NEW] {"#:^##", "S", Nothing, "z" -------------------------------- 492 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:#", "S", Nothing, "s" [NEW] {"#:^#", "S", Nothing, "s" -------------------------------- 557 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {Anything, "U^^", Anything, "AH" [NEW] {Anything, "U", "^^", "AH" -------------------------------- 594 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {Anything, "WERE", Anything, "WHEHr" [NEW] {Anything, "WHERE", Anything, "WHEHr" -------------------------------- 622 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:", "Y", Nothing, "IY" [NEW] {"#:^", "Y", Nothing, "IY" -------------------------------- 623 ---------------------------------- [OLD] {"#^:", "Y", "I", "IY" [NEW] {"#:^", "Y", "I", "IY" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of difference records found: 12 -John A.
