Constructed Language (Conlang) Audio Honing
Ronald B. Oakes
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University
An important aspect of a constructed language (conlang) is how it sounds when spoken. This dissertation designs and implements a tool to allow the user to hear how their conlang sounds when spoken. This tool will generate spoken language based on sample text in the constructed language. Further, it will enable the user to manipulate the phonetics of the language and hear how these changes impact the language in its spoken form. This tool also allows users to assess the preferability of the language's phonetics using Net Auditory Distance under the framework of Beats-and-Bindings Phonology. It was shown that the use of this feature improved the preferability of three different conlangs. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
