RE: Number of syllables distribution - Koen G - 18-04-2019
Now I tried the system using the suggested vowels from Guy's paper discussed by Marco here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
I include the graphs for types and tokens for Latin, the slightly modified Emma's vowels and Guy's vowels.
Detecting syllables based on Guy's vowels involved adapting the alphabet first, since for example he considers i's that are not part of "in" or "iin" vowels. As Guy notes in his paper though, the transcription of such glyph clusters is inherently problematic. These are the results, blue for Latin, red for Emma and yellow for Guy.
We might note that in Guy's system, there would be almost 30% one-syllable tokens, which is a lot.
Also, in almost all cases, Emma's vowels (plus all benches) result in counts closer to Latin than Guy's.
