StructureDataset PHOIBLE

CLDF Metadata: StructureDataset-metadata.json

Sources: sources.bib

PHOIBLE's phoneme inventories are modeled as follows:

  • Phonemes are rows in ParameterTable
  • Inventories are rows in inventories.csv
  • Each row in ValueTable marks a Phoneme as member of an inventory

Marginal boolean Marginal phonemes are those that are notably different phonologically from the majority of segments found in a particular language. For example, loanwords containing non-native sounds can introduce marginal phonemes into the borrowing language. Any type of phoneme described as “marginal”, “dubious” or “occurs only in loan words” is included in the database alongside other phonemes, but is marked with a boolean 'True' value. Ordinary phonemes typically have the value 'False', although for data sources that explicitly exclude marginal phonemes, the value is NULL, i.e. ''.
Allophones list of string (separated by ) If a phonological description includes some information about allophonic alternations, it is assumed that phonemes with no allophones mentioned do not exhibit “major” allophonic variation (in the judgment of the original author(s) of the language description). For such phonemes, the sole allophone is treated as identical with the phonemic representation. In phonological descriptions where no information about allophonic alternations was given about any of the phonemes, the description is considered incomplete with regard to allophonic information, and all phonemes of that inventory are given an empty value for their allophones.

Table parameters.csv

PHOIBLE includes distinctive feature data for every phoneme in every inventory. The feature system was created by the PHOIBLE developers to be descriptively adequate cross-linguistically. In other words, if two phonemes differ in their graphemic representation, then they should necessarily differ in their featural representation as well (regardless of whether those two phonemes coexist in any known doculect). The feature system is loosely based on the feature system in Hayes (2009) with some additions drawn from Moisik & Esling (2011).
