Description
Functions are provided to calculate the 'ALINE' Distance between cognate pairs. By default the Aline distance is returned (Downey et al. 2008). Several utility functions are provided including the ability to return the aligned character strings and the similarity score (Kondrak 1999), the ability to change feature weightings, and the ability to modify the IPA character mappings. The package includes functions for optimizing and plotting feature weights using expert alignment determiniations and a genetic algorithm. We provide an R-interface to the aline C++ algorithm originally written by G. Kondrak (1999, 2000). The package authors would like to acknowledge Greg Kondrak (http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~kondrak/) for developing the original ALINE algorithm. The base code provided here has been substantially modified from the original version to provide integration with R and to enable various user-functions. This project was funded by the National Science Foundation Cultural Anthropology Program (Grant number SBS-1030031) and the University of Maryland College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.
