Bard Software

Texts, morphemes...

• Mortal Engine
  A morphological engine, which allows you to create morphological models of languages, so that you can test the model, use it for spellchecking, transduce between different writing systems, etc.
• Rude Mechanicals
  A UI library and application for Mortal Engine.
• Knotty Entrails
  A library for representing texts, translated items (really, transduced) with Mortal Engine.
• Toil and Trouble
  Parsing utilities for Knotty Entrails.

Of these, I think really only the first two can possibly be of general interest at this point. The second two are relevant to another GUI application, Infinite Jest, that I use for parsing and interlinearizing texts; I expect I will release the code eventually. (It is more-or-less the grown-up, morphologically aware version of my earlier software, Gloss.)

I've made the code public, but my own enjoyment of the software is the main thing. It's nice to have tools that work just right. It's nice for a job to have been done right. These are the tools I would highlight if I were to show you around my workshop.
