Sound Classes (sound_classes)
This module provides functions and classes to deal with sound-class sequences. Sound classes go back
to an approach Dolgopolsky1964. The basic idea behind sound classes is to reduce the IPA
space of possible phonetic segments in order to guarantee both the comparability of sounds between
languages, but also to give some assessment regarding the probability that sounds belonging to the
same class occur in correspondence relations in genetically related languages. More recently,
sound classes have been applied in a couple of approaches, including phonetic alignment (see
List2012a), and automatic cognate detection (see Turchin2012,
List2012b).
