syllable_filter.py

Python script to take a list of words and return only those with the specified number of syllables. Syllables will be counted heuristically, as the number of vowels.

This will use phonological forms from the IPhOD2 database (Vaden, Halpin, & Hickok, 2009), but any corpus can be used.
