On the data base of Romanian syllables and some of its quantitative and cryptographic aspects

Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)

Abstract

In this paper we argue for the need to construct a data base of Romanian syllables. We explain the reasons for our choice of the DOOM corpus which we have used. We describe the way syllabification was performed and explain how we have constructed the data base. The main quantitative aspects which we have extracted from our research are presented. We also computed the entropy of the syllables and the entropy of the syllables w.r.t. the consonant-vowel structure. The results are compared with results of similar researches realized for different languages.
