ALINE.map

An IPA-ASCII character map used for transforming IPA sequence into ASCII characters used by the C++ program. ALINE.map() is used internally by various functions. The original mapping schema is defined in (Kondrak 1999). The values provided here were derived from an Indonesian database so additional user-mappings for use with other lanugauge families can be enabled. Unicode interger values are stored in the dataframe. To view IPA see show.map().

Functions are provided to calculate the 'ALINE' Distance between words as per
(Kondrak 2000) and (Downey, Hallmark, Cox, Norquest, & Lansing, 2008,
<doi:10.1080/09296170802326681>). The score is based on phonetic features represented
using the Unicode-compliant International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Parameterized
features weights are used to determine the optimal alignment and functions are
provided to estimate optimum values using a genetic algorithm and supervised
learning. See (Downey, Sun, and Norquest 2017,
