Charis SIL font is needed for this package to work exactly as intended, but you can also use your own font with #phonokit-init(font: "..."). New Computer Modern is used for arrows.

Some examples


IPA transcription based on tipa
Consonant inventories (with pre-defined languages)
Vowel trapezoids (with pre-defined languages)

Multi-tier representations
Syllable structure (onset-rhyme and moraic)
Prosodic word (with metrical parsing)

Metrical grids with IPA support
Autosegmental phonology: features
Autosegmental phonology: tones

SPE-style feature matrix
OT tableaux with automatic shading
MaxEnt tableaux with automatic calculation

Fonts

As of version 0.3.7, the package allows the user to choose a global font for all functions. By default, Charis SIL is used (Typst has a fallback font should you not have it installed). However, you can use whichever font you prefer with the following command:

#import "@preview/phonokit:0.4.1": *
#phonokit-init(font: "New Computer Modern") // <- add to the top of your document

IPA Module

  • tipa-style input: Use familiar LaTeX tipa notation instead of hunting for Unicode symbols
  • Comprehensive symbol support: most common IPA consonants, vowels, and diacritics
  • Vowel charts: Plot vowels on the IPA vowel trapezoid with accurate positioning
  • Consonant tables: Display consonants in the pulmonic IPA consonant table
  • Scalable charts: Adjust size to fit your document layout (scaling includes text as expected)

Prosody Module

  • Prosodic structure visualization: Draw syllable structures (onset-rhyme and moraic representations) as well as feet and prosodic words with simple and intuitive syntax. You can also define which symbols you prefer to use for different prosodic domains
  • Multi-tier representations: Create complex non-linear representations
  • Metrical grids: Inputs as strings or tuples
  • Sonority profile: Visualize the sonority of a string

Autosegmental Module

  • Features and tones: Create autosegmental representation for both features and tones
  • Support for common processes: Easily add linking, delinking, floating tones, one-to-many relationships and highlighting. Additional options for spacing and annotation also available

SPE module

  • Feature matrices: Easily display feature matrices for SPE-style rules

Optimality Theory Module

  • OT tableaux: Create publication-ready Optimality Theory tableaux with automatic formatting
  • Automatic shading: Cells are automatically grayed out after fatal violations
  • Winner indication: Optimal candidates automatically marked with ☞ (pointing finger)
  • IPA support: Input and candidate forms can use tipa-style IPA notation
  • Hasse diagrams: Generate Hasse diagrams to visualize constraint rankings

Maximum Entropy Module

  • MaxEnt tableaux: Generate Maximum Entropy grammar tableaux with probability calculations
  • Automatic calculations: Computes harmony scores H(x), unnormalized probabilities P*(x), and normalized probabilities P(x)
  • Visual probability bars: Optional graphical representation of candidate probabilities
  • IPA support: Input and candidate forms can use tipa-style IPA notation

Harmonic Grammar Module

  • HG tableaux: Generate HG tableaux with automatic calculation of harmony given constraint weights and violations
  • Noisy HG: Generate NHG tableaux with automatic calculation of harmony and probabilities derived from simulated noise and multiple evaluations

General Module

  • Numbered examples: Create examples and sub-examples with labels and correct alignment
  • Shortcuts: Quick commands to add a range of arrows, angle brackets for extrametricality, and SPE-style underlines for context
