    <abstract>Phoneticians and phonologists have developed featural systems that enable systematic description of human speech sounds.

It is critical to understand the features of writing systems given their central role in many language users’ everyday experience.

In this paper, we introduce SoriGraph, a database of visual feature descriptions and IPA transcriptions for the full lexicon of Korean, drawing on a recent large-scale study of the visual features of writing systems. This database enables analysis of the visual and phonological properties of Korean and will be a critical resource for researchers. We describe the construction of the database and provide an overview of several potential uses of the database, and demonstrate one potential usage (information-theoretic analysis of lexicon structure).</abstract>

%X Phoneticians and phonologists have developed featural systems that enable systematic description of human speech sounds.
