I am looking for parsers and stemmers for Japanese and research into
them. A LINGUIST archive search has not shown anything recent. I will
post a summary if there is interest. Thank you.

Subject:  Q: IPA symbols and hieroglyphics



I am working on a translation of a French handbook on
hieroglyphics, and some of the IPA used has puzzled me.

(1) a superscripted c is a long mid-vowel (like 3:) ?
(2) an h or k with a single dark dot beneath (described
as "emphatic")?

(3) this book also uses the 'y' character for the palatal approx
 /j/. I have seen this before. Is there a school of thought
that prefers this transcription?

If you are familiar with these symbols, please e-mail me
at hbonikowski at yahoo.com. I appreciate your help.

Best,
