A question about the dictionary of German and French

Opened this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

Hi there,

I just have a question regarding the French and German dictionaries and the corresponding acoustic models but I don't know whom to ask so I just put my question here.

Where can I find which phonemes are vowels and which are consonants in the French and German phonemes?

I appreciate it a lot if I can be told where to find the answer to my question.

Thanks,
Ming

If it's not obvious to you, I would just consult a standard reference (a phonological grammar), such as: Richard Wiese. 2000. The phonology of German. Oxford University Press. François Dell. 1980. Generative phonology and French phonology. Cambridge University Press.

The specific phone sets for the two dictionaries are based off of Lexique for French and CELEX for German, right?

I believe so. It's possible that their documentations have more information but I wouldn't take them as gospel. CELEX uses the DISC phoneset. The Lexique phoneset is not one I've seen elsewhere but it's pretty obvious to me how to map it onto consonants and vowels if you're familiar with French pronunciation.

Thanks for your reply. Since I know nothing about French and German, probably I will check each phone in the dictionary to find out whether it's a vowel or consonant. I also need to find all possible onsets of a syllable.
