Phonological feature charts from Hayes 2009

hayes2009

hayes2009 is a small Python 3.7+ module that exposes phonological features from:

Hayes, B. 2009. Introductory Phonology. John Wiley & Sons.

See hayes2009.py for information about how this data has been processed.

It exposes two tables: an english-only table and a larger universal table. As far as I can tell, phones that occur in English are given the same specification in both tables but both tables are provided for completeness.

Please read before filing an issue on the issue tracker

I will correct the following bugs:

• Typographical errors in the Hayes' tables

I will not work on or accept PRs for any the following "feature requests":

• Additional feature specifications from other sources
• Alternative names for the features
• "Fancy" (i.e., tuple-based) feature specifications
• Reverse look-up (i.e., finding phones that match a certain feature specification)

Gotchas

• Phones are encoded in NFC.
• Hayes uses the traditional "single-storey" ɡ rather than g for the voiced velar stop.
• Hayes includes many contour segments, but these are indicated with the tie bars (e.g., t͡s).
• Hayes uses SHOUTYCASE for the major place features like LABIAL.
