The Language Cooker
Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2016 9:57 pm
Siva Kalyan has just written a program that randomly generates a typologically-plausible set of morphosyntactic features for a language. You can generate in a way that is typologically-representative, globally-representative (these are not the same things!), or representative of a particular language family, “macro-area” (~ continent), or country.
You can find the Language Cooker here: https://www.getdatajoy.com/project/5766 ... 7577383711.
Go to the README file for instructions.
The Language Cooker takes its name from the Type Cooker (http://typecooker.com), a website that randomly generates a description of a typeface (or type family), which is then meant to be used as a design exercise by a student of typeface design. Likewise, the Language Cooker could be used to generate exercises for students of language design, i.e. glossopoets.
