phonemenon is a library of phoneme-related utilities.
npm install phonemenon
There's something I'll refer to as a "phoneme group" which will look like this:
{
"word": "EARTHY",
"phonemes": [
{
"phoneme": "ER",
"stress": 1
},
{
"phoneme": "TH",
"stress": -1
},
{
"phoneme": "IY",
"stress": 0
}
]
}
They'll all have a word property that is the word that the phoneme group represents and a phonemes array that contains objects that each contain a phoneme and a stress value. A stress of 1 indicates that a phoneme has the primary stress and 2 indicates secondary. 0 indicates no stress and -1 indicates a phoneme that does not start a syllable.
You can run these scripts via make targets. After you clone this repo, cd into it, run npm install, you can run make targets, like make phoneme-groups-with-syllables.json, for example.
phoneme-groups-with-syllables.json: All the phoneme groups derivable from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.
syllable-follower-analysis.json: A listing of all the syllables and many times other syllables in the corpus follow them.
phoneme-follow-frequencies.js A module that all the phonemes and how many times other phonemes follow them in the corpus.
phoneme-syllable-analyze.js
A script that pipes CMU Pronouncing Dictionary text into syllablize-through, then pipes that into syllable-freq-analysis to get a JSON object that has a key for every possible syllable with a value like this one for "hey/hay":
"HH-EY": {
"M-IY": 2,
"V-IH-NG": 3,
"M-EY": 3,
"G-AH-N": 10,
"V-AH-N": 5,
"G-AH-N-Z": 3,
"B-ER": 6,
"B-AH-L": 1,
"B-IY": 1,
"D-AH-N": 7,
"D-ER": 2,
"D-IY-Z": 1,
"D-AH": 2,
"F-ER": 1,
"F-IY": 1,
"G-AA-R": 1,
...
},
The value lists all of the syllables that could follow it, along with the number of times that the syllable did follow it. There is a special key called 'START' that lists all the syllables that can start a word.
cat ../cmudict/cmudict.0.7a | node phoneme-syllable-analyze.js syllable-analysis.json
phonemize-analyze-ff.js
A script that converts CMU Pronouncing Dictionary text into word/phoneme objects, then analyzes those.
cat cmudict.0.7a | node phonemize-analyze-ff.js out.js --make-module
phonemize-console.js
A script that converts CMU text that's piped in via stdin into stringified JSON objects. Usage example:
cat cmudict.0.7a | node phonemize-console.js
Output will be a whole bunch of phoneme group JSON objects.
phonemize-file.js
A script that uses cmuTextToPhonemeStream.js to create a line-separated JSON file full of phoneme groups. Example.
cat cmudict.0.7a | node phonemize-file.js phonemes.json
phonemize-syllablize.js
A script that pipes CMU Pronouncing Dictionary lines into syllablize-through to get phoneme groups with syllables, then writes those to a file. Example usage:
cat ../cmudict/cmudict.0.7a | node phonemize-syllablize.js phoneme-groups-with-syllables.json
Or:
make phoneme-groups-with-syllables.json
cmu-text-to-phoneme.js
A stream that converts lines of text from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, like this –
EARTHY ER1 TH IY0
– into phoneme group objects.
followerfreq-analysis-stream.js
A stream that analyzes phoneme groups you write to it, then returns the analysis via the callback when the end is reached. The analysis will be a dictionary with entries for each phoneme and the number of times other phonemes follow it, like so:
"EH": {
"K": 2950,
"N": 4860,
"S": 2451,
"F": 474,
"R": 3885,
"M": 1406,
"TH": 181,
"L": 4080,
"T": 1947,
"D": 1331,
"G": 514,
"P": 633,
"SH": 331,
"V": 655,
"JH": 236,
"B": 296,
"HH": 54,
"Z": 465,
"DH": 101,
"NG": 259,
"CH": 147,
"W": 16,
"ZH": 38,
"Y": 4,
"AH": 3,
"OW": 1,
"IY": 1
}
followfreqs.js
The output of a run of phoneme-analyze-ff, saved.
stringify-through.js
A stream that converts JSON objects into strings.
syllablefreq-analysis-stream.js
A stream that analyzes phoneme groups (that have syllables properties) you write to it, then returns the analysis: syllables by frequency and following frequency.
syllablize-through.js
Creates streams that adds syllables properties to phoneme groups. A phoneme group with syllables properties looks like this:
{
"word": "ABDELLA",
"phonemes": [
{
"phoneme": "AE",
"stress": 2
},
{
"phoneme": "B",
"stress": -1
},
{
"phoneme": "D",
"stress": -1
},
{
"phoneme": "EH",
"stress": 1
},
{
"phoneme": "L",
"stress": -1
},
{
"phoneme": "AH",
"stress": 0
}
],
"syllables": [
[
"AE",
"B"
],
[
"D",
"EH"
],
[
"L",
"AH"
]
]
}
typesofphonemes.js
A module for classifying phonemes into the broad categories "consonantish" and "vowelish".
If you want a two-way mapping between phonemes and words, see word-phoneme-map.
