Didelphis Sound Change Applier

Samantha F McCabe, 2016

The Didelphis SCA is a powerful, script-driven sound-change applier program implemented in Java. It supports UTF-8 natively and has a rule syntax designed for clarity and similarity to sound change notation in linguistics.

The Didelphis SCA supports capabilities like:

• multiple rule conditions
• regular expressions
• metathesis
• unrestricted variable naming
• scripting (importing or executing other rule sets)
• phonetic features

but also allows novice users to ignore advanced functionality they do not need.
