Progress on CALL-SLT

I've spent some time messing around with the English to Interlingua translation rules and the Interlingua grammar. We're now able to translate 95% of the development corpus into sensible-looking interlingua - though the current surface form will probably be revised a bit at some point by Pierrette and Johanna.

At any rate, you can now run the speech-input English system from the Regulus command-line, setting it so that spoken inputs are parsed and translated into Interlingua. I don't think it's that much extra work to add code so that we have a complete first version of the system. There will initially be two commands. You can either ask for a new Interlingua prompt, or ask to speak. If you speak, it will translate what you say into Interlingua, compare with the current prompt, and score you. With any luck, I'll have this working before next week.

Here's the current English development corpus, with the Interlingua translations it produces:
