Description

loanpy is a toolkit for solving various linguistic tasks such as:

• predicting loanword adaptation (lateral transfers)

• historical reconstruction of words (vertical transfers)

• searching for potential (old) loanwords between two languages.

Compatible input data

• Gothic

• Hungarian

• West Old Turkic

Main changes compared to version 1

• Mange data flow through classes instead of gloabal variables

• reconstructor.py and adapter.py reorganised into adrc.py and qfysc.py

• new module sanity.py to evaluate results and optimise parameters

• Sound and phonotactic substitutions based on etymological data combined with feature vectors from the PanPhon library

• Implementation of CLDF standard

• new, linpy-based alignment method

• multiple paths when repairing phonotactics, with help of the networkx library

• tested with real-world data: current model seems to accurately predict English loanword adaptation in Maori
