Module analysis

Attributes

@normprovides the normalized/standardized form of information present in the source text in a non-normalized form.

Status: Optional
Datatype: teidata.text

Normalization of part-of-speech information within a dictionary entry.

<gramGrp>
  <pos norm="noun">n</pos>
</gramGrp>

@origgives the original string or is the empty string when the element does not appear in the source text.

Status: Optional
Datatype: teidata.text

Example from a language documentation project of the Mixtepec-Mixtec language (ISO 639-3: 'mix'). This is a use case where speakers spell something incorrectly but we would like to preserve it for any number of reasons, the use of @orig is essential and could have uses for both the speaker to see past mistakes, researchers to get insight into how untrained speakers write their language instinctually (in contrast to prescribed convention), etc.:

<w orig="ntsa sia'i">ntsasia'i</w>

Note

It needs to be stressed that the two attributes in this class are meant for strictly lexicographic and linguistic uses, and not for editorial interventions. For the latter, the mechanism based on choice, orig, and reg needs to be employed.
