Methods for automatic generation of GRAALAN-based phonetic databases

This paper presents methods for automatic generation of phonetic databases (The Morphological and Phonetic Dictionary, The Phonetic Dictionary of Syllables, The Rhyming Dictionary) for a natural language, starting from a set of linguistic knowledge bases. The knowledge bases are developed by means of the GRAALAN (Grammar Abstract Language) system. The exemplification of this process will be described by representing a Romanian Phonetic database.
