I need to do this for a reader reliablility formula that I am working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Can't do this with regular expressions. Since most languages using single phoneme alphabets (e.g., Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic) have no consistent rules with regard to dividing words into syllables, there's no alternative to looking up words in a dictionary list to determine the number of syllables. The dictionary list would need to look something like the * * the foobar *foo * * bar banana *ba * * *na * * *na that is, the word in the first field, the syllables in the subsequent fields, so the number of syllables equals the number of fields in the matching record less one. Thanks. |
