You can choose what to -wrap (refer to the screen shot) and what language code to use.]]> Description

Do you often mix Latin letters and Chinese, Japanese or Korean (CJK) characters in the same post or in the title? Did you find it difficult to style both types of characters satisfactorily using the same CSS style?

CJK-AutoTagger Automatically wraps CJK characters in your site with <span lang=”"></span> tags, so that you can style them separately. You can choose what to <span>-wrap (refer to the screen shot) and what language code to use.

To style CJK and non-CJK (usually Latin) characters separately, follow the example below:

// Style non-CJK characters
#content {
  font-family: Arial, Verdana;
  font-size: 12px;
  }
// Style CJK characters
#content:lang(zh-HK) {
  font-family: “Microsoft JhengHei”, “MingLiu”;
  font-size: 14px;
  }

For more information on styling with language codes, check out this reference from W3C.

Advanced Usage

For advanced users: to auto-detect and <span>-wrap your custom strings in templates, use the following function:

string cjk_autotagger( string $string [, string $lang_code ] )

Example:

echo cjk_autotagger($str, “zh-HK”);

Installation

  1. Upload the directory cjk-autotagger to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Configure your plugin on the CJK-AutoTagger setting page under Settings

You can now get all the information about how people arrive at your site. WP-Referrers tracks all the referrals leading to your site, organize and neatly present them in a number of ways. To start with, you can check out the lastest referrers to your site. You can view the referrers by the referrer URL or by the local page referred to. In addition, WP-Referrers also recognizes referrals from major search engines. You can see how many hits you get from each search engine, and what keywords people use to get to your site.

Installation

  1. Upload the directory `wp-referrers` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Done. WP_Referrers will take care of the rest.

Instruction: Type in your data set in the text box on the left, one word on each line, or alternatively test Fonoguru with the sample data by choosing a sample data set and clicking on the “load data” button below the text box. The pull-down menus on the right will then be filled up automatically with all the phones found in the set of data. Choose the phone or phones you want to analyze, then click on “analyze data”, the environment will be presented to you in no time. It’s that easy!

Note 1: You must first install the IPA font (Doulos SIL) before using Fonoguru. Follow the link above.

Note 2: The analysis on phonemes and allophones is still very primitive, so study hard on your phonology to make your own judgement!

Syntactic tree is a useful tool in analyzing the structure of a sentence. Linguists and linguistics learners have a lot of opportunities in encountering them, and often a need in drawing them. However, drawing syntactic trees on computer without specialized tools is most often a headache, while available tools are few and not free.

Arbores is a small application thus developed for drawing trees in the quickest and easiest way while not trying to include a lot of fancy functions. It utilizes the “TreeView” control already available in Windows, and re-renders the tree in the TreeView to a syntactic tree we are used to. Therefore, you can add, remove or edit the nodes in the TreeView, just like what you do to the files and folders with the “tree” in your Windows Explorer, and an equivalent syntactic tree is drawn on-the-fly.

Arbores allows you to save your trees to AST files (Arbores Syntactic Tree files), which can be opened and edited at a later time. You can also export the trees to various image formats, which is especially useful if you want to insert the trees in web pages, Word documents or elsewhere. If you want a quick print out of the trees, Arbores can also handle that without any problem.
