This python module can calculate rhymes (or minimal pairs) for a given word, as well as find all minimal pairs that start with given prefixes.
Get rhymes for a given word, for all of its pronunciations.
import min_pairs
min_pairs.get_rhymes('dogs')
# [([u'D', u'AA1', u'G', u'Z'],
# [u'bogs', u'dogs', u'hogs', u'pogs', u"fogg's", u'togs', u'jogs']),
# ([u'D', u'AO1', u'G', u'Z'],
# [u'bogs', u'dogs', u"dogs'", u'logs', u'boggs', u"dog's", u'fogs'])]Minimum pairs are basically the same as the rhymes
import min_pairs
mf = min_pairs.MinPairFinder.get_instance()
mf.min_pairs('dogs')
# [u'bogs',
# u'dogs',
# u'hogs',
# u'pogs',
# u'togs',
# u'jogs',
# u'bogs',
# u'dogs',
# u"dogs'",
# u'logs',
# u'boggs',
# u"dog's",
# u'fogs']Given an iterable of prefixes, you can find all minimum pairs for those prefixes.
For example, say you want to find all minimum pairs that start with either
q or r:
import min_pairs
mf = min_pairs.MinPairFinder.get_instance()
mf.get_prefix_variants('qr')
# [[u'qana', u'ronna'],
# [u'qasr', u'raiser', u'raisor', u'raser', u'rasor', u'razor'],
# [u'qi', u'ree', u'reeh', u'rhee'],
# [u'qian', u'qin', u'rhin', u'rihn', u'rinn', u'rinne'],
# [u'qing', u'ring', u'ringe'],
# [u'qom', u'rahm', u'rom', u'romm'],
# [u'qu', u'rew', u'rhew', u'rhue', u'rioux', u'roux', u'ru', u'rue'],
# [u'quai',
# u'quay',
# u'quaye',
# u'rae',
# u'ray',
# u'raye',
# u're',
# u'rea',
# u'reay',
# u'rey'],
# [u'quiche', u'riesh']]Of you can give it a list of prefixes:
import min_pairs
mf = min_pairs.MinPairFinder.get_instance()
mf.get_prefix_variants(['boo', 'loo'])
# [[u'boo', u'loo'],
# [u'booby', u'looby'],
# [u'book', u'look'],
# [u"book's", u'books', u"books'", u'looks'],
# [u'booked', u'looked'],
# [u'booker', u'looker'],
# [u"booker's", u'bookers', u'lookers'],
# [u'bookin', u"lookin'"],
# [u'booking', u'looking'],
# [u'bookout', u'lookout'],
# [u'boom', u'loom'],
# [u"boom's", u'booms', u'looms'],
# [u'boomed', u'loomed'],
# [u'boomer', u'loomer'],
# [u'booming', u'looming'],
# [u'boon', u'boone', u'loon'],
# [u'boons', u'loons'],
# [u'boop', u'loop'],
# [u'boos', u'booz', u'booze', u'loos'],
# [u'boose', u'loose'],
# [u'boost', u'loosed'],
# [u'boot', u'boote', u'loot'],
# [u'booted', u'looted'],
# [u'booting', u'looting']]
