Humans know a great deal about relationships among words. This paper discusses relationships among word pronunciations. We describe a computer system which models human judgement of rhyme by assigning specific roles to the location of primary stress, the similarity of phonetic segments, and other factors. By using the model as an experimental tool, we expect to improve our understanding of rhyme. A related computer model will attempt to generate pronunciations for unknown words by analogy with those for known words. . | USING AN ON-LINE DICTIONARY TO FIND RHYMING WORDS AND PRONUNCIATIONS FOR UNKNOWN WORDS Roy J.

Watson Research Center Yorktown Heights New York 10598 ABSTRACT Humans know a great deal about relationships among words. This paper discusses relationships among word pronunciations. We describe a computer system which models human judgement of rhyme by assigning specific roles to the location of primary stress the similarity of phonetic segments and other factors. By using the model as an experimental tool we expect to improve our understanding of rhyme. A related computer model will attempt to generate pronunciations for unknown words by analogy with those for known words. The analogical processes involve techniques for segmenting and matching word spellings and for mapping spelling to sound in known words. As in the case of rhyme the computer model will be an important tool for improving our understanding of these processes. Both models serve as the basis for functions in the WordSmith automated dictionary system. I. Introduction This paper describes work undertaken in the development of WordSmith an automated dictionary system being built by the Lexical Systems group at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. WordSmith allows the user to explore a multidimensional space of information about words. The system permits interaction with lexical databases through a set of programs that carry out functions such as displaying formatted entries from a standard dictionary and generating pronunciations for a word not found in the dictionary. WordSmith also shows the user words that are close to a given word along dimensions such as spelling as in published dictionaries meaning as in thesauruses and sound as in rhyming dictionaries . Figure 1 shows a sample of the WordSmith user interface. The current word urgency .
