Lang {#top}

A collection of C++ classes representing fundamental linguistic units and building blocks of language from phonetics to pragmatics.

A project by Tyler Phillips

Overview of the project {#overview}

The basic idea of this project is to create a set of classes representing the basic components of language, with the goal that these classes could form a foundation for a wide variety of linguistic applications. I'm trying to design these classes so that they could be used for as many different applications as possible.

Disclaimer {#disclaimer}

I am a student and a relatively inexperienced programmer. I hope that this project can be useful, but I'm mainly doing it for fun and to improve my programming skills.

Organization of the project {#overview}

I have split the project up according to the major subfields of linguistics.
Each subfield has a folder, and each folder contains a header file, an implementation file, and a test file.

Workflow {#workflow}

I'm following a simple workflow pattern for each subfield:

  1. Write a header file.

  2. Write unit tests.

  3. Implement.

  4. Test and fix as needed.

Contributing {#contributing}

I welcome contributions if anyone wants to work on this project with me. Feel free to contact me about contributing at tyler.s.phill@Gmail.com.

Documentation {#documentation}

Documentation for this project is provided in the documentation directory.
Documentation is divided into a separate file for each subfield, and an overarching table of contents is provided which lists all resources provided by this project and which subfield they occur in.
