Sound change translator from PhoMo to SCE

phomo2sce

What is phomo2sce?

phomo2sce is a sound-change translator that converts an input (PhoMo 3 format) and translates and outputs it in SCE format.

Usage

You can use phomo2sce to output a translation of a PhoMo newline-separated file of rules. You must specify the filename with the flag -f.

ruby phomo2sce.rb -f <filename> [-l]

Alternatively you can use the -r flag to specify a single rule to translate.

ruby phomo2sce.rb -r a/e/_# [-l]

The -l flag on both of these examples is the literal flag. If present it will stick to literal SCE syntax when translating (that is, no stylised insertion/deletion/movement rules).

Ruleset Testing

The additional Phomo2SceTest class can be used test whether a certain file of newline-separated PhoMo rules will translate into SCE as expected by testing it against a target file.

ruby p2stest.rb sample.txt goal.txt [-l]

This will go through all the PhoMo rules in sample.txt, translate them to SCE and then check the translation against the rule given in goal.txt. Again, the optional -l flag will force it to translate to non-stylised SCE.
