phonokit: a toolkit to create phonological representations in Typst

  • 1. ROR icon Université Laval

Description

Creating high-quality phonological representations in academic documents is often time-consuming and requires juggling multiple tools and LaTeX packages (most notably TikZ). This vignette introduces phonokit, an open-source Typst package designed to streamline the creation of phonological structures while maintaining typographical precision. The package provides intuitive functions for IPA transcription (supporting tipa input conventions), prosodic representations (syllables, feet, prosodic words, metrical grids), autosegmental phonology (feature spreading, tone, delinking), SPE feature matrices, Optimality Theory tableaux, Harmonic Grammar, and Maximum Entropy grammars. All functions prioritize minimal input syntax while automatically handling complex typographical challenges such as dynamic spacing, line crossing prevention, and proper alignment. phonokit aims to reduce cognitive load in document preparation, allowing phonologists to focus on content rather than formatting. The package is freely available through Typst's package repository and is under active development.
