syllabize-es

Turns Spanish words into syllables, and much more.

Intro

The package tries to duplicate most of the functions from Silabeador TIP and provide some more:

  • Dividing words into syllables.
  • Identify the stress.
  • Find diphthongs, triphthongs, and hiatuses, and provide detailed info about them.
  • Finding the rhyming part of a word.

It is tested against a comprehensive dataset, so the package should be quite reliable.

Example

use syllabize_es::{syllable::Syllable, Word, StressType, DiphthongType, RhymeOptions};

// Convert a word into syllabized struct
let word: Word = "construir".into();

// Number of syllables
assert_eq!(word.syllables.len(), 2);

// First syllable, in string form
assert_eq!(word.syllables[0].to_string(), "cons");

// Second syllable, in struct form
assert_eq!(
    word.syllables[1],
    Syllable {
        onset: "tr".to_string(),
        nucleus: "ui".to_string(),
        coda: "r".to_string()
    }
);

// Get syllabified string, using "-" as delimiter
assert_eq!(word.syllabize("-"), "cons-truir");

// Index of the stressed syllable of `word.syllables`
assert_eq!(word.stress_index, 1);

// Named type of the stress
assert_eq!(word.stress(), StressType::Oxytone);

// All existing vowel combinations
let vowel_combos = word.vowel_combos();

// The word doesn't contain hiatuses or triphthongs
assert_eq!(vowel_combos.hiatuses.len(), 0);
assert_eq!(vowel_combos.triphthongs.len(), 0);

// But it contains a diphthong
assert_eq!(vowel_combos.diphthongs.len(), 1);

let dp = &vowel_combos.diphthongs[0];
// All its attributes
assert_eq!(dp.syllable_index, 1);
assert_eq!(dp.kind, DiphthongType::Homogenous);
assert_eq!(dp.composite, "ui");

// The rhyming part of the word
assert_eq!(word.rhyme(), "ir");

// The rhyming with default options `RhymeOptions { yeismo: true, seseo: false, b_equals_v: true}`
assert!(word.rhymes_with(&Word::from("ir"), None));
// Rhyming with custom options
assert!(word.rhymes_with(&Word::from("ir"), Some(RhymeOptions { yeismo: true, seseo: true, b_equals_v: true})));
// Assonant rhymes
assert!(word.assonant_rhymes_with(&Word::from("colibrí")));

CLI Example

$ syllabize palabra
pa-la-bra

Limitations and TODOs

Some attributes aren't provided because they are trivial to tell, without syllabizing a word:

  • Length of a word.
  • Tipo de acento: prosódico(has no accent mark) o ortográfico(has an accent mark).

Some attributes aren't provided because it's trivial to get. For example: Tonic syllable is easy to get when you have a vector of syllables and the index of the stressed syllable.

Some features may be provided in future releases, for example:

  • Pronombre enclítico. te, lo, etc. at the trailing of a word.

Inspirations

The package is a rewriting of the NPM package silabacion, but with a simpler interface.
