Syllables at the end of a line in VMS
#17
During a trial with Dante Alighieri`s "Divina commedia" I noticed that the use of a wrong dictionary has considerable effects on the recognition of syllables. The greatest number of recognized syllables are to be found in the correct dictionary. Since I still assume that the last words of a line in the VMS could be filler words, it is conceivable that the writer "fell back" into known patterns when creating these words (the number of syllables would not be noticeably lower in this scenario, see earlier post). This raises the question if it could be useful to test the words, resp. number of syllables, against the languages supported by "Pyphen". If this is the case, the question would be which languages would be considered or which would be excluded from the beginning ( e.g. Afrikaans ).
