6.2. Principles of glossing in RX tier

The \rx tier gives us two types of information:

• on morphosyntax : the paradigm or part of speech the morpheme belongs to; for

that, we use a more or less standardized set of labels called the “ps” labels (written

in capital letters);

• on certain phenomena which are either not directly accessible through the \ge and

ps labels (covert categories; circumfixes; apophony) or which relate the morpheme

to other morphemes in the corpus (homonymy, etc.); these are called indices

(written in small letters)

Elements of Syntax

• Labels and indices are separated by slashes: PRO/cov. “ps” labels are followed by

indices. The different elements of compound “ps” labels are separated by dots:

PRO.DEICT;

• “ps” labels are arranged more or less in the same way as in \ge, going from left to

right from general to particular.

• Indices will tend to be idiosyncratic: they will reflect the current state of research

in terms of unsolved problems, questions, current typological debates, etc. As full

names for these labels would be far too long we finally opted for abbreviations.

6.3. Code-switching glossing principles

In general, the choice of a gloss for CSW phenomena depends on what we think should be

retrieved by the users of the corpus. Possible glosses are also dependent on the different

theoretical approaches to CSW. During our discussion two main options for CSW glossing

emerged:

1 2 ... 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 ... 50 51
