new features for phonotactics #13
Description
WALS has syllabic complexity, we can more or less already model this, but the World Phonotactics Database has some more features, and we should cover maybe some 10 of those:
| Maximal onset | How many C are allowed in the onset of a syllable |
|---|---|
| Maximal coda | How many C are allowed in the coda of a syllable |
| CV language | Does the language maximally allows CV syllables? |
| CVC language | Does the language maximally allows CVC syllables? |
| CCV language | Does the language maximally allows CCV syllables? |
| CCVC language | Does the language maximally allows CCVC syllables? |
| Maximum CV contrasts | How many CV open syllables does the language allow? |
| Ø onsets allowed? | Does the language allows null onsets (that is, V-initial syllables) |
| Codas require onsets | Is the presence of an onset can be predicted from the presence of a coda |
| Onset second C is preferentially glide | Is the second consonant is preferentially a glide? |
| Any glides | Does the language have glides? |
| Onset second C = y | Is the second consonant is preferentially a glide (palatal) |
| Onset second C = w | Is the second consonant is preferentially a glide (labialvelar) |

Quite a few of these are easy to implement. For the paper study, we should have at least onsets and codas, and make a plot of them.

Onsets and codas are there, but we should leave this issue open for future development.
