9 Dictionaries

목차

This chapter defines a module for encoding lexical resources of all kinds, in particular human-oriented monolingual and multilingual dictionaries, glossaries, and similar documents. The elements described here may also be useful in the encoding of computational lexica and similar resources intended for use by language-processing software; they may also be used to provide a rich encoding for wordlists, lexica, glossaries, etc. included within other documents. Dictionaries are most familiar in their printed form; however, increasing numbers of dictionaries exist also in electronic forms which are independent of any particular printed form, but from which various displays can be produced.

Both typographically and structurally, print dictionaries are extremely complex. Such lexical resources are moreover of interest to many communities with different and sometimes conflicting goals. As a result, many general problems of text encoding are particularly pronounced here, and more compromises and alternatives within the encoding scheme may be required in the future.28 Two problems are particularly prominent.

First, because the structure of dictionary entries varies widely both among and within dictionaries, the simplest way for an encoding scheme to accommodate the entire range of structures actually encountered is to allow virtually any element to appear virtually anywhere in a dictionary entry. It is clear, however, that strong and consistent structural principles do govern the vast majority of conventional dictionaries, as well as many or most entries even in more ‘exotic’ dictionaries; encoding guidelines should include these structural principles. We therefore define two distinct elements for dictionary entries, one (entry) which captures the regularities of many conventional dictionary entries, and a second (entryFree) which uses the same elements, but allows them to combine much more freely. It is however recommended that entry be used in preference to entryFree wherever possible. These elements and their contents are described in sections 9.2 The Structure of Dictionary Entries, 9.6 Unstructured Entries, and 9.4 Headword and Pronunciation References.

Second, since so much of the information in printed dictionaries is implicit or highly compressed, their encoding requires clear thought about whether it is to capture the precise typographic form of the source text or the underlying structure of the information it presents. Since both of these views of the dictionary may be of interest, it proves necessary to develop methods of recording both, and of recording the interrelationship between them as well. Users interested mainly in the printed format of the dictionary will require an encoding to be faithful to an original printed version. However, other users will be interested primarily in capturing the lexical information in a dictionary in a form suitable for further processing, which may demand the expansion or rearrangement of the information contained in the printed form. Further, some users wish to encode both of these views of the data, and retain the links between related elements of the two encodings. Problems of recording these two different views of dictionary data are discussed in section 9.5 Typographic and Lexical Information in Dictionary Data, together with mechanisms for retaining both views when this is desired.

To deal with this complexity, and in particular to account for the wide variety of linguistic contexts within which a dictionary may be designed, it can be necessary to customize or change the schema by providing more restriction or possibly alternate content models for the elements defined in this chapter. Section 9.3.2 Grammatical Information illustrates this with the provision of a closed set of values for grammatical descriptors.

This chapter contains a large number of examples taken from existing print dictionaries; in each case, the original source is identified. In presenting such examples, we have tried to retain the original typographic appearance of the example as well as presenting a suggested encoding for it. Where this has not been possible (for example in the display of pronounciation) we have adopted the transliteration found in the electronic edition of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Also, the middle dot in quoted entries is rendered with a full stop, while within the sample transcriptions hyphenation and syllabification points are indicated by a vertical bar |, regardless of their appearance in the source text.

9.1 Dictionary Body and Overall Structure

Overall, dictionaries have the same structure of front matter, body, and back matter familiar from other texts. In addition, this module defines entry, entryFree, and superEntry as component-level elements which can occur directly within a text division or the text body.

The following tags can therefore be used to mark the gross structure of a printed dictionary; the dictionary-specific tags are discussed further in the following section.
  • text 어떤 종류의 단일 텍스트를 포함한다. 예를 들어, 시 또는 드라마, 수필선, 소설, 사전 또는 코퍼스 표본과 같은 단일 텍스트 또는 혼합 텍스트.
  • front (전면부 내용) 주 본문 앞에 나타나는 문서의 시작부에서 발견되는 서문 자료(헤더, 제목 페이지, 머리말, 헌정사 등)를 포함한다.
  • body (텍스트 본문) 전면부 또는 후면부 자료를 배제한 단일 텍스트의 전체 본문을 포함한다.
  • back (후면부 내용) 텍스트의 주요부 뒤에 오는 부록 등을 포함한다.
  • div (텍스트 구역) 텍스트의 전면부, 본문, 후면부의 하위 구역을 포함한다.
  • entry 합리적으로 체계화된 사전 표제 항목을 포함한다.
  • entryFree (구조화되지 않은 표제 항목) entry 요소에 의해 부과된 제약에 반드시 부합할 필요 없는 사전 표제 항목을 포함한다.
  • superEntry 동형이의어 집합의 연속된 표제 항목을 모아 놓는다.
As members of the classes att.entryLike and att.sortable, entry and entryFree share the following attributes:
  • att.entryLike 사전 표제 항목의 다른 형식을 모아 놓는다.
    type다중 유형을 포함하는 사전에서, 표제 항목 유형을 나타낸다.
  • att.sortable provides attributes for elements in lists or groups that are sortable, but whose sorting key cannot be derived mechanically from the element content.
    sortKeysupplies the sort key for this element in an index, list or group which contains it.

The front and back matter of a dictionary may well contain specialized material such as lists of common and proper nouns, grammatical tables, gazetteers, a ‘guide to the use of the dictionary’, etc. These should be tagged using elements defined elsewhere in these Guidelines, chiefly in the core module (chapter 3 Elements Available in All TEI Documents) together with the specialized dictionary elements defined in this chapter.

The body element consists of a set of entries, optionally grouped into one or several div elements. These text divisions might correspond, for example, sections for different letters of the alphabet, or to sections for different languages in bilingual dictionaries, as in the following example:
<body>
 <div>
  <head>English-French</head>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>cat</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>dog</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>horse</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
 </div>
 <div>
  <head>French-English</head>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>chat</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>chien</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
  <entry>
   <form>
    <orth>cheval</orth>
   </form>
<!-- ... -->
  </entry>
 </div>
</body>

In a print dictionary, the entries are typically typographically distinct entities, each headed by some morphological form of the lexical item described (the headword), and sorted in alphabetical order or (especially for non-alphabetic scripts) in some other conventional sequence. Dictionary entries should be encoded as distinct successive items, each marked as an entry or entryFree element. The type attribute may be used to distinguish different types of entries, for example main entries, related entries, run-on entries, or entries for cross-references, etc.

Some dictionaries provide distinct entries for homographs, on the basis of etymology, part-of-speech, or both, and typically provide a numeric superscript on the headword identifying the homograph number. In these cases each homograph should be encoded as a separate entry; the superEntry element may optionally be used to group such successive homograph entries. In addition to a series of entry elements, the superEntry may contain a preliminary form group (see section 9.3.1 Information on Written and Spoken Forms) when information about hyphenation, pronunciation, etc., is given only once for two or more homograph entries. If the homograph number is to be recorded, the global attribute n may be used for this purpose. In some dictionaries, homographs are treated in distinct parts of the same entry; in these cases, they may be separated by use of the hom element, for which see section 9.2.1 Hierarchical Levels.

A sort key, given in the sortKey attribute, is often required for superentries and entries, especially in cases where the order of entries does not follow the local character-set collating sequence (as, for example, when an entry for ‘3D’ appears at the place where ‘three-D’ would appear).

A dictionary with no internal divisions might thus have a structure like the following; a superEntry is shown grouping two homograph entries.
<body>
 <entry>
  <form>
   <orth>manifestation</orth>
<!-- demonstration -->
  </form>
 </entry>
 <entry>
  <form>
   <orth>émeute</orth>
<!-- riot -->
  </form>
 </entry>
 <superEntry>
  <entry type="hom" n="1">
   <form>
    <orth>grève</orth>
<!-- strike -->
   </form>
  </entry>
  <entry type="hom" n="2">
   <form>
    <orth>grève</orth>
<!-- shore -->
   </form>
  </entry>
 </superEntry>
</body>

9.2 The Structure of Dictionary Entries

A simple dictionary entry may contain information about the form of the word treated, its grammatical characterization, its definition, synonyms, or translation equivalents, its etymology, cross-references to other entries, usage information, and examples. These we refer to as the constituent parts or constituents of the entry; some dictionary constituents possess no internal structure, while others are most naturally viewed as groups of smaller elements, which may be marked in their own right. In some styles of markup, tags will be applied only to the low-level items, leaving the constituent groups which contain them untagged. We distinguish the class of top-level constituents of dictionary entries, which can occur directly within the entry element, from the class of phrase-level constituents, which can normally occur only within top-level constituents. The top-level constituents of dictionary entries are described in section 9.2.2 Groups and Constituents, and documented more fully, together with their phrase-level sub-constituents, in section 9.3 Top-level Constituents of Entries.

In addition, however, dictionary entries often have a complex hierarchical structure. For example, an entry may consist of two or more sub-parts, each corresponding to information for a different part-of-speech homograph of the headword. The entry (or part-of-speech homographs, if the entry is split this way) may also consist of senses, each of which may in turn be composed of two or more sub-senses, etc. Each sub-part, homograph entry, sense, or sub-sense we call a level; at any level in an entry, any or all of the constituent parts of dictionary entries may appear. The hierarchical levels of dictionary entries are documented in section 9.2.1 Hierarchical Levels.

9.2.1 Hierarchical Levels

The outermost structural level of an entry is marked with the elements entry or entryFree. The hom element marks the subdivision of entries into homographs differing in their part-of-speech. The sense element marks the subdivision of entries and part-of-speech homographs into senses; this element nests recursively in order to provide for a hierarchy of sub-senses of any depth. It is recommended to use the sense element even for an entry that has only one sense to group together all parts of the definition relating to the word sense since this leads to more consistent encoding across entries. All of these levels may each contain any of the constituent parts of an entry. A special case of hierarchical structure is represented by the re (related entry) element, which is discussed in section 9.3.6 Related Entries. Finally, the element dictScrap may be used at any point in the hierarchy to delimit parts of the dictionary entry which are structurally anomalous, as further discussed in section 9.6 Unstructured Entries.
  • entry 합리적으로 체계화된 사전 표제 항목을 포함한다.
  • entryFree (구조화되지 않은 표제 항목) entry 요소에 의해 부과된 제약에 반드시 부합할 필요 없는 사전 표제 항목을 포함한다.
  • hom (동형이의어) 하나의 표제 항목 내에서 하나의 동형이의어와 관련된 정보들을 모아 놓는다.
  • sense 하나의 사전 표제 항목에서 하나의 단어 의미와 관련된 모든 정보를 모아 놓는다. 예를 들어 정의, 예문, 번역어
    level의미의 층위를 제시한다.
  • dictScrap (사전 발췌부) 다른 구-층위 사전 요소들이 자유롭게 결합된 사전 표제 항목의 부분을 포함한다.
For example, an entry with two senses will have the following structure:
<entry>
 <sense n="1"/>
 <sense n="2"/>
</entry>
An entry with two homographs, the first with two senses and the second with three (one of which has two sub-senses), may have a structure like this:
<entry>
 <hom n="1">
  <sense n="1">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
  <sense n="2">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
 </hom>
 <hom n="2">
  <sense n="1">
   <sense n="a">
<!-- ... -->
   </sense>
   <sense n="b">
<!-- ... -->
   </sense>
  </sense>
  <sense n="2">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
  <sense n="3">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
 </hom>
</entry>
In some dictionaries, homographs have separate entries; in such a case, as noted in section 9.1 Dictionary Body and Overall Structure, the two homographs may be treated as entries, optionally grouped in a superEntry:
<superEntry>
 <entry n="1" type="hom">
  <sense n="1">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
  <sense n="2">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
 </entry>
 <entry n="2" type="hom">
  <sense n="1">
   <sense n="a">
<!-- ... -->
   </sense>
   <sense n="b">
<!-- ... -->
   </sense>
  </sense>
  <sense n="2">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
  <sense n="3">
<!-- ... -->
  </sense>
 </entry>
</superEntry>
The hierarchic structure of a dictionary entry is enforced by the structures defined in this module. The content model for entry specifies that entries do not nest, that homographs nest within entries, and that senses nest within entries, homographs, or senses, and may be nested to any depth to reflect the embedding of sub-senses. Any of the top-level constituents (def, usg, form, etc.) can appear at any level (i.e., within entries, homographs, or senses).

9.2.2 Groups and Constituents

As noted above, dictionary entries, and subordinate levels within dictionary entries, may comprise several constituent parts, each providing a different type of information about the word treated. The top-level constituents of dictionary entries are:
  • information about the form of the word treated (orthography, pronunciation, hyphenation, etc.)
  • grammatical information (part of speech, grammatical sub-categorization, etc.)
  • definitions or translations into another language
  • etymology
  • examples
  • usage information
  • cross-references to other entries
  • notes
  • entries (often of reduced form) for related words, typically called related entries
Any of the hierarchical levels (entry, entryFree, hom, and sense) may contain any of these top-level constituents, since information about word form, particular grammatical information, special pronunciation, usage information, etc., may apply to an entire entry, or to only one homograph, or only to a particular sense. The examples below illustrate this point.
The following elements are used to encode these top-level constituents:
  • form (형태 정보군) 하나의 표제어에 대한 문어와 구어 형태에 관한 모든 정보군
  • gramGrp (문법 정보군) 어휘 항목에 관한 형태-통사적 정보를 모아 놓는다. 예, pos, gen, number, case, 또는 iType (굴절 부류)
  • def (정의) 사전 표제 항목의 정의 텍스트를 포함한다.
  • cit (참조 인용) 원문 참고문헌과 함께 제시된 다른 문서로부터의 인용을 포함한다. 사전에서는 기술된 의미로 사용된 어형이 들어간 용례, 또는 표제어의 번역어 또는 예문을 포함할 수 있다.
  • usg (용법) 사전 표제 항목에 용법 정보를 포함한다.
  • xr (교차 참조 구) 현재 또는 다른 텍스트에서 다른 위치를 지시하는 구, 문장, 또는 아이콘을 포함한다.
  • etym (어원) 사전 표제 항목의 어원 정보를 포함한다.
  • re (관련 표제 항목) 복합어, 또는 큰 표제 항목 내부에 포함된 파생 형태와 같이 표제 항목과 관련된 어휘 항목을 포함한다.
  • note contains a note or annotation.
In a simple entry with no internal hierarchy, all top-level constituents can appear as children of entry.

com.peti.tor /k@m"petit@(r)/ n person who competes. OALD

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>competitor</orth>
  <hyph>com|peti|tor</hyph>
  <pron>k@m"petit@(r)</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <def>person who competes.</def>
</entry>
For the elements which appear within the form and gramGrp elements of this and other examples, see below, section 9.3.1 Information on Written and Spoken Forms, and section 9.3.2 Grammatical Information.
Any top-level constituent can appear at any level when the hierarchical structure of the entry is more complex. The most obvious examples are def and cit, which appear at the sense level when several senses or translations exist:

disproof (dIs"pru:f) n. 1. facts that disprove something. 2. the act of disproving. CED

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>disproof</orth>
  <pron>dIs"pru:f</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <sense n="1">
  <def>facts that disprove something.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="2">
  <def>the act of disproving.</def>
 </sense>
</entry>

For ease of processing of such entries containing multiple senses along with those containing only a single sense, it is recommended to use sense in all entries to wrap those elements relating to a particular word sense.

In the following example, gramGrp is used to distinguish two homographs:

bray /breI/ n cry of an ass; sound of a trumpet. ∙ vt [VP2A] make a cry or sound of this kind. OALD

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>bray</orth>
  <pron>breI</pron>
 </form>
 <hom>
  <gramGrp>
   <pos>n</pos>
  </gramGrp>
  <sense>
   <def>cry of an ass; sound of a trumpet.</def>
  </sense>
 </hom>
 <hom>
  <gramGrp>
   <pos>vt</pos>
   <subc>VP2A</subc>
  </gramGrp>
  <sense>
   <def>make a cry or sound of this kind.</def>
  </sense>
 </hom>
</entry>
Information of the same kind can appear at different levels within the same entry; here, grammatical information occurs both at entry and homograph level.

ca.reen /k@"ri:n/ vt,vi 1 [VP6A] turn (a ship) on one side for cleaning, repairing, etc. 2 [VP6A, 2A] (cause to) tilt, lean over to one side. OALD

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>careen</orth>
  <hyph>ca|reen</hyph>
  <pron>k@"ri:n</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>vt</pos>
  <pos>vi</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <sense n="1">
  <gramGrp>
   <subc>VP6A</subc>
  </gramGrp>
  <def>turn (a ship) on one side for cleaning, repairing, etc.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="2">
  <gramGrp>
   <subc>VP6A</subc>
   <subc>VP2A</subc>
  </gramGrp>
  <def>(cause to) tilt, lean over to one side.</def>
 </sense>
</entry>
Alone among the constituent groups, form can appear at the superEntry level as well as at the entry, hom, and sense levels:

a.ban.don 1/@"band@n/ v [T1] 1 to leave completely and for ever; desert: The sailors abandoned the burning ship. 2 …abandon 2 n [U] the state when one's feelings and actions are uncontrolled; freedom from control...LDOCE

<superEntry>
 <form>
  <orth>abandon</orth>
  <hyph>a|ban|don</hyph>
  <pron>@"band@n</pron>
 </form>
 <entry n="1">
  <gramGrp>
   <pos>v</pos>
   <subc>T1</subc>
  </gramGrp>
  <sense n="1">
   <def>to leave completely and for ever … </def>
  </sense>
  <sense n="2"/>
 </entry>
 <entry n="2">
  <gramGrp>
   <pos>n</pos>
   <subc>U</subc>
  </gramGrp>
  <sense>
   <def>the state when one's feelings and actions are uncontrolled; freedom
       from control…</def>
  </sense>
 </entry>
</superEntry>

9.3 Top-level Constituents of Entries

This section describes the top-level constituents of dictionary entries, together with the phrase-level constituents peculiar to each.

9.3.1 Information on Written and Spoken Forms

Dictionary entries most often begin with information about the form of the word to which the entry applies. Typically, the orthographic form of the word, sometimes marked for syllabification or hyphenation, is the first item in an entry. Other information about the word, including variant or alternate forms, inflected forms, pronunciation, etc., is also often given.

The following elements should be used to encode this information: the form element groups one or more occurrences of any of them; it can also be recursively nested to reflect more complex sub-grouping of information about word form(s), as shown in the examples.
  • form (형태 정보군) 하나의 표제어에 대한 문어와 구어 형태에 관한 모든 정보군
    type단일어, 복합어 등으로 형태를 분류한다.
  • orth (철자 형식) 사전 표제어의 철자 형식을 제시한다.
    type철자 유형을 제시한다.
    extent제공된 철자 정보의 범위를 제시한다.
  • pron (발음) 단어의 발음을 포함한다.
    extent발음이 전체 단어 또는 부분에 대한 것인지를 표시한다.
  • hyph (하이픈으로 연결하기) 사전표제어의 하이픈 연결 형식 또는 다른 형식의 하이픈연결 정보를 포함한다.
  • syll (음절 분리) 표제어의 음절 분리 정보를 포함한다.
  • stress 독립적으로 제시된다면, 사전 표제어에 대한 강세 유형을 포함한다.
  • lbl (분류 표시) 형태, 예문, 번역, 또는 기타 정보에 대한 분류 표시를 포함한다. 예, 약어, 단축형, 축어적, 대체적, 유의어
In addition to those listed above, the following elements, which encode morphological details of the form, may also occur within form elements:
  • gram (문법 정보) 사전 또는 전문용어 데이터 파일의 표제 항목 내부에 용어, 단어 또는 형태와 관련된 문법 정보를 포함한다.
    type다양한 유형에 따라 문법 정보를 분류한다. - 전문용어 정보의 경우 가급적 ISO WD 12 620에서 명시한 데이터 요소 유형의 사전을 따른다.
  • gen (성) 사전에 제시된 어휘항목의 형태론적 성을 표시한다.
  • number 사전에 제시된 형태와 관련된 문법적 수를 표시한다.
  • case 주어진 형식에 대하여 사전에 제시된 문법적 격 정보를 포함한다.
  • per (인칭) 사전에 제시된 굴절형과 관련된 문법적 인칭(1인칭, 2인칭, 3인칭 등)의 표시를 포함한다.
  • tns (시제) 사전에 제시된 굴절형과 관련된 문법적 시제를 표시한다.
  • mood 동사의 문법적 서법에 관한 정보를 포함한다.(예, 직설법, 가정법, 명령법)
  • iType (굴절 부류) 어휘 항목과 관련된 굴절 부류를 표시한다.
    type어형변화 등을 가리키는 특별한 부호와 같이 다른 종류의 지시자와 일반적 축약표시(예, inv)를 구별할 필요가 있을 때, 굴절 부류를 명시하는 지시자의 유형을 나타낸다.
  • pos (품사) 명사, 동사, 또는 형용사와 같이 사전 표제어에 할당된 품사를 표시한다.
  • subc (하위범주화) 하위범주화 정보를 포함한다(타동사/자동사, 가산/불가산, 등).
  • colloc (연어) 표제어의 연어를 포함한다.
Of these, the gram element is most general, and all of the others are synonymous with a gram element with appropriate values (gen, number, case, etc.) for the type attribute.

The use of these elements as children of form is deprecated; instead, they should always be children of a gramGrp within form when describing that particular form of the word.

Different dictionaries use different means to mark hyphenation, syllabification, and stress, and they often use some unusual glyphs (e.g., the ‘middle dot’ for hyphenation). All of these glyphs are in the Unicode character set, as discussed in Character References. When transcribing representations of pronunciation the International Phonetic Alphabet should be used. It may be convenient (as has been done in the text of this chapter) to use a simple transliteration scheme for this; such a scheme should however be properly documented in the header.

In the simplest case, nothing is given but the orthography:
<form>
 <orth>doom-laden</orth>
</form>
Often, however, pronunciation is given.

soucoupe [sukup] … DNT

<form>
 <orth>soucoupe</orth>
 <pron>sukup</pron>
</form>

For a variety of reasons including ease of processing, it may be desired to split into separate elements information which is collapsed into a single element in the source text; orthography and hyphenation may for example be transcribed as separate elements, although given together in the source text. For a discussion of the issues involved, and of methods for retaining both the presentation form and the interpreted form, see section 9.5 Typographic and Lexical Information in Dictionary Data.

This example splits orthography and hyphenation, and adds syllabification because it differs from hyphenation:

ar.ea … W7

<form>
 <orth>area</orth>
 <hyph>ar|ea</hyph>
 <syll>ar|e|a</syll>
</form>
Multiple orthographic forms may be given, e.g. to illustrate a word's inflectional pattern:

brag … vb. brags, bragging, bragged … CED

<form>
 <orth>brag</orth>
</form>
<gramGrp>
 <pos>vb</pos>
</gramGrp>
<form type="inflected">
 <orth>brags</orth>
 <orth>bragging</orth>
 <orth>bragged</orth>
</form>
Or the inflectional pattern may be indicated by reference to a table of paradigms, as here:

horrifier [ORifje] (7) vt … [C/R]

<form>
 <orth>horrifier</orth>
 <pron>ORifje</pron>
 <gramGrp>
  <iType type="vbtable">7</iType>
<!-- ... -->
 </gramGrp>
</form>
<!-- ... -->
Explanatory labels may be attached to alternate forms:

MTBF abbrev. for mean time between failures. CED

<entry>
 <form type="abbrev">
  <orth>MTBF</orth>
 </form>
 <form type="full">
  <lbl>abbrev. for</lbl>
  <orth>mean time between failures</orth>
 </form>
</entry>
When multiple orthographic forms are given, a pronunciation may be associated with all of them, as here:

biryani or biriani (%bIrI"A:nI) … CED

<form>
 <orth>biryani</orth>
 <orth>biriani</orth>
 <pron>%bIrI"A:nI</pron>
</form>
In other cases, different pronunciations are provided for different orthographic forms; here, the form element is repeated to associate the first orthographic form explicitly with the first pronunciation, and the second orthographic form with the second pronunciation:

mackle ("mak^@l) or macule ("makju:l) … CED

<form>
 <orth>mackle</orth>
 <pron>"makəl</pron>
</form>
<form>
 <orth>macule</orth>
 <pron>"makju:l</pron>
</form>
Recursive nesting of the form element can preserve relations among elements that are implicit in the text. For example, in the CED entry for ‘hospitaller’, it is clear that ‘U.S.’ is associated only with ‘hospitaler’, but that the pronunciation applies to both forms. The following encoding preserves these relations:

hospitaller or U.S. hospitaler ("hQspIt@l@) … CED

<form>

9.3.2 Grammatical Information

The gramGrp element groups grammatical information, such as part of speech, subcategorization information (e.g., syntactic patterns for verbs, count/mass distinctions for nouns), etc. It can contain any of the morphological elements defined in section 9.3.1 Information on Written and Spoken Forms for form and can appear as a child of entry, form, sense, cit, or any other element containing content about which there is grammatical information. For example, in the entry ‘ pinna ('pIn@) n., pl. -nae (-ni:) or -nas’ CED, the word defined can be either singular or plural; the ‘pl.’ specification applies only to the inflected forms provided. Compare this with ‘pants (paents) pl. n.’, where ‘pl.’ applies to the headword itself.

As noted above in section 9.3.1 Information on Written and Spoken Forms, the elements for morphological information are simply shorthand for the general purpose gram element. Consider this entry for the French word médire:

médire v.t. ind. (de) … PLC

This entry can be tagged using specialized grammatical elements:
<form>
 <orth>médire</orth>
</form>
<gramGrp>
 <pos>v</pos>
 <subc>t ind</subc>
 <colloc type="prep">de</colloc>
</gramGrp>
Or using the gram element:
<form>
 <orth>médire</orth>
</form>
<gramGrp>
 <gram type="pos">v</gram>
 <gram type="subc">t ind</gram>
 <gram type="collocPrep">de</gram>
</gramGrp>
Like form, gramGrp can be repeated, recursively nested, or used at the sense level to show relations among elements.

isotope adj. et n. m. … DNT

<form>
 <orth>isotope</orth>
</form>
<gramGrp>
 <pos>adj</pos>

 <sense n="1">

  <def>the ability to reason and act, esp. quickly …</def>

9.3.3 Sense Information

Dictionaries may describe the meanings of words in a wide variety of different ways — by means of synonyms, paraphrases, translations into other languages, formal definitions in various highly stylized forms, etc. No attempt is made here to distinguish all the different forms which sense information may take; all of them may be tagged using the def element described in section 9.3.3.1 Definitions.

As a special case it is frequently desirable to distinguish the provision of translation equivalents in other languages from other forms of sense information; the use of <cit type="translation"> (which groups a translation equivalent with related information such as its grammatical description) for this purpose is described in section 9.3.3.2 Translation Equivalents.

9.3.3.1 Definitions

Dictionary definitions are those pieces of prose in a dictionary entry that describe the meaning of some lexical item. Most often, definitions describe the headword of the entry; in some cases, they describe translated texts, examples, etc.; see <cit type="translation">, section 9.3.3.2 Translation Equivalents, and <cit type="example">, section 9.3.5.1 Examples. The def element directly contains the text of the definition; unlike form and gramGrp, it does not serve solely to group a set of smaller elements. The close analysis of definition text, such as the tagging of hypernyms, typical objects, etc., is not covered by these Guidelines.

Definitions may occur directly within an entry; when multiple definitions are given, they are typically identified as belonging to distinct senses, as here:

demigod (…) n. 1.a. a being who is part mortal, part god. b. a lesser deity. 2. a godlike person. CP

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>demigod</orth>
  <pron> … </pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <sense n="1">
  <sense n="a">
   <def>a being who is part mortal, part god.</def>
  </sense>
  <sense n="b">
   <def>a lesser deity.</def>
  </sense>
 </sense>
 <sense n="2">
  <def>a godlike person.</def>
 </sense>
</entry>
In multilingual dictionaries, it is sometimes possible to distinguish translation equivalents from definitions proper; here a def element is distinguished from the translation information within which it appears.

rémoulade [Remulad] nf remoulade, rémoulade (dressing containing mustard and herbs). CR

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>rémoulade</orth>
  <pron>Remulad</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
  <gen>f</gen>
 </gramGrp>
 <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
  <quote>remoulade</quote>
  <quote>rémoulade</quote>
  <def>dressing containing mustard and herbs</def>
 </cit>
</entry>
9.3.3.2 Translation Equivalents

Multilingual dictionaries contain information about translations of a given word in some source language for one or more target languages. Minimally, the dictionary provides the corresponding translation in the target language; other material, such as morphological information (gender, case), various kinds of usage restrictions, etc., may also be given. If translation equivalents are to be distinguished from other kinds of sense information, they may be encoded using <cit type="translation">. The global xml:lang attribute should be used to specify the target language.

As in monolingual dictionaries, the sense element is used in multilingual dictionaries to group information (forms, grammatical information, usage, translation(s), etc.) about a given sense of a word where necessary. Information about the individual translation equivalents within a sense is grouped using <cit type="translation">. This information may include the translation text (tagged q or quote), morphological information (gen, case, etc.), usage notes (usg), translation labels (lbl), and definitions (def).When bibliographic data is provided, the quote element should be used.
  • cit (참조 인용) 원문 참고문헌과 함께 제시된 다른 문서로부터의 인용을 포함한다. 사전에서는 기술된 의미로 사용된 어형이 들어간 용례, 또는 표제어의 번역어 또는 예문을 포함할 수 있다.
  • lbl (분류 표시) 형태, 예문, 번역, 또는 기타 정보에 대한 분류 표시를 포함한다. 예, 약어, 단축형, 축어적, 대체적, 유의어
Note how in the following example, different translation equivalents are grouped into the same or different senses, following the punctuation of the source and the usage labels:

dresser … (a) (Theat) habilleur m, -euse f; (Comm: window ~) étalagiste mf. she's a stylish ~ elle s'habille avec chic; V hair. (b) (tool) (for wood) raboteuse f; (for stone) rabotin m. CR

  </sense>
 </sense>
</entry>
<!-- ... -->
<entry xml:id="hair">

 </sense>
</entry>
In the following example, a distinction is made between the translation equivalent (‘OAS’) and a descriptive phrase providing further information for the user of the dictionary.

O.A.S. ... nf (abrév de Organisation de l'Armée secrète) OAS (illegal military organization supporting French rule of Algeria). CR

<entry>

 <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
  <quote>OAS</quote>
  <def>illegal military organization supporting French rule of
     Algeria</def>
 </cit>
</entry>
Note that <cit type="translation"> may also be used in monolingual dictionaries when a translation is given for a foreign word:

havdalah or havdoloh Hebrew. (Hebrew hAvdA"lA; Yiddish hAv"dOl@) n. Judaism. the ceremony marking the end of the sabbath or of a festival, including the blessings over wine, candles and spices. [literally: separation] CED

  <quote>separation</quote>
 </cit>
</entry>

9.3.4 Etymological Information

The element etym marks a block of etymological information. Etymologies may contain highly structured lists of words in an order indicating their descent from each other, but often also include related words and forms outside the direct line of descent, for comparison. Not infrequently, etymologies include commentary of various sorts, and can grow into short (or long!) essays with prose-like structure. This variation in structure makes it impracticable to define tags which capture the entire intellectual structure of the etymology or record the precise interrelation of all the words mentioned. It is, however, feasible to mark some of the more obvious phrase-level elements frequently found in etymologies, using tags defined in the core module or elsewhere in this chapter. Of particular relevance for the markup of etymologies are:
  • etym (어원) 사전 표제 항목의 어원 정보를 포함한다.
  • lang (언어명) 어원적 또는 기타 언어적 논의에서 언급된 언어의 이름
  • date 다양한 형식의 날짜를 포함한다.
  • mentioned marks words or phrases mentioned, not used.
  • gloss 다른 단어나 구에 대한 해설 또는 정의를 제공할 때 사용되는 구나 단어를 표시한다.
  • pron (발음) 단어의 발음을 포함한다.
  • usg (용법) 사전 표제 항목에 용법 정보를 포함한다.
  • lbl (분류 표시) 형태, 예문, 번역, 또는 기타 정보에 대한 분류 표시를 포함한다. 예, 약어, 단축형, 축어적, 대체적, 유의어

As in other prose, individual word forms mentioned in an etymological description are tagged with mentioned elements. Pronunciations, usage labels, and glosses can be tagged using the pron, usg, and gloss elements defined elsewhere in these Guidelines. In addition, the lang element may be used to identify a particular language name where it appears, in addition to using the xml:lang attribute of the mentioned element.

Examples:

abismo m. (del gr. a priv. y byssos, fondo). Sima, gran profundidad. …

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>abismo</orth>
 </form>
 <etym>del <lang>gr.</lang>

9.3.5 Other Information

9.3.5.1 Examples

Dictionaries typically include examples of word use, usually accompanying definitions or translations. In some cases, the examples are quotations from another source, and are occasionally followed by a citation to the author.

The <cit type="example"> element contains usage examples and associated information; the example text itself should be enclosed in a q or quote element. The cit element associates a quotation with a bibliographic reference to its source.
  • q (인용 부호로 주변 텍스트와 구분됨.) 직접 대화 또는 사고, 전문 용어 또는 은어, 작가의 거리두기, 외부로부터의 인용문, 그리고 사용되지 않고 언급된 단락 등의 이유로, 그리고 그 밖의 다른 이유로, 주변 텍스트와 어떤 방식으로든 차이가 있다고 (명시적으로) 표시된 부분을 포함한다.
  • quote (인용) 해설자 또는 저자에 의해, 텍스트의 외부 주체에 의해 생성된 것이라 밝혀진 구 또는 단락을 포함한다.
  • cit (참조 인용) 원문 참고문헌과 함께 제시된 다른 문서로부터의 인용을 포함한다. 사전에서는 기술된 의미로 사용된 어형이 들어간 용례, 또는 표제어의 번역어 또는 예문을 포함할 수 있다.

Examples frequently abbreviate the headword, and so their transcription will frequently make use of the oRef or oVar elements described below in section 9.4 Headword and Pronunciation References.

Examples:

multiplex /…/ adj tech having many parts: the multiplex eye of the fly. LDOCE

<quote>the multiplex eye of the fly.</quote>
Or when one wants a more comprehensive representation of examples:
<cit type="example">
 <quote>the multiplex eye of the fly.</quote>
</cit>
As the following example shows, cit can also contain elements such as pron, def, etc.

some … 4. (S~ and any are used with more): Give me ~ more/s@'mO:(r)/ OALD

<sense n="4">
 <usg type="colloc">
  <oRef type="cap"/> and <mentioned>any</mentioned> are used with
 <mentioned>more</mentioned>
 </usg>
 <cit type="example">
  <quote>Give me <oRef/> more</quote>
  <pron extent="part">s@'mO:(r)</pron>
 </cit>
</sense>
In multilingual dictionaries, examples may also be accompanied by translations:

horrifier … vt to horrify. elle était horrifiée par la dépense she was horrified at the expense. CR

<entry>
<!-- ... -->
 <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
  <quote>to horrify</quote>
 </cit>
 <cit type="example">
  <quote>elle était horrifiée par la dépense</quote>
  <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
   <quote>she was horrified at the expense.</quote>
  </cit>
 </cit>
</entry>
When a source is indicated, the example should be marked with a cit element:

valeur … n. f. … 2. Vx. Vaillance, bravoure (spécial., au combat). ‘La valeur n'attend pas le nombre des années’ (Corneille). … DNT

<sense n="2">
 <usg type="time">Vx.</usg>
 <def>Vaillance, bravoure (spécial., au combat)</def>
 <cit type="example">
  <quote>La valeur n'attend pas le nombre des années</quote>
  <bibl>
   <author>Corneille</author>
  </bibl>
 </cit>
</sense>
9.3.5.2 Usage Information and Other Labels
Most dictionaries provide restrictive labels and phrases indicating the usage of given words or particular senses. Other phrases, not necessarily related to usage, may also be attached to forms, translations, cross-references, and examples. The following elements are provided to mark up such labels:
  • usg (용법) 사전 표제 항목에 용법 정보를 포함한다.
  • lbl (분류 표시) 형태, 예문, 번역, 또는 기타 정보에 대한 분류 표시를 포함한다. 예, 약어, 단축형, 축어적, 대체적, 유의어
As indicated in the following section (9.3.5.3 Cross-References to Other Entries), the lbl element may be used for any kind of signicative phrase or label within the text. The usg element is a specialization of this to mark usage labels in particuar. Usage labels typically indicate
  • temporal use (archaic, obsolete, etc.)
  • register (slang, formal, taboo, ironic, facetious, etc.)
  • style (literal, figurative, etc.)
  • connotative effect (e.g. derogatory, offensive)
  • subject field (Astronomy, Philosophy, etc.)
  • national or regional use (Australian, U.S., Midland dialect, etc.)
Many dictionaries provide an explanation and/or a list of such usage labels in a preface or appendix. The type of the usage information may be indicated in the type attribute on the usg element. Some typical values are:
geo
geographic area
time
temporal, historical era (‘archaic’, ‘old’, etc.)
dom
domain
reg
register
style
style (figurative, literal, etc.)
plev
preference level (‘chiefly’, ‘usually’, etc.)
acc
acceptability
lang
language for foreign words, spellings pronunciations, etc.
gram
grammatical usage
In addition to this kind of information, multilingual dictionaries often provide ‘semantic cues’ to help the user determine the right sense of a word in the source language (and hence the correct translation). These include synonyms, concept subdivisions, typical subjects and objects, typical verb complements, etc. These labels may also be marked with the usg element; sample values for the type attribute in these cases include:
syn
synonym given to show use
hyper
hypernym given to show usage
colloc
collocation given to show usage
comp
typical complement
obj
typical object
subj
typical subject
verb
typical verb
hint
unclassifiable piece of information to guide sense choice
In this entry, one spelling is marked as geographically restricted:

colour or U.S. color … CED

<form>
 <orth>colour</orth>
 <form>
  <usg type="geo">U.S.</usg>
  <orth>color</orth>
 </form>
</form>
In the next example, usage labels are used to indicate domains, register, and synonyms associated with different senses:

palette [palEt] nf (a) (Peinture: lit, fig) palette. (b) (Boucherie) shoulder. (c) (aube de roue) paddle; (battoir à linge) beetle; (Manutention, Constr) pallet. CR

<sense n="a">

  <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
   <quote>pallet</quote>
  </cit>
 </sense>
</sense>
When the usage label is hard to classify, it may be described as a ‘hint’:

rempaillage […] nm reseating, rebottoming (with straw). CR

<entry>
 <cit type="translation" xml:lang="en">
  <quote>reseating</quote>
  <quote>rebottoming</quote>
  <usg type="hint">with straw</usg>
 </cit>
</entry>
9.3.5.3 Cross-References to Other Entries

Dictionary entries frequently refer to information in other entries, often using extremely dense notations to convey the headword of the entry to be sought, the particular part of the entry being referred to, and the nature of the information to be sought there (synonyms, antonyms, usage notes, etymology, an illustration, etc.)

Cross-references may be tagged in dictionaries using the ref and ptr elements defined in the core module (section 3.6 Simple Links and Cross-References). In addition, the xr element may be used to group all the information relating to a cross-reference.
  • xr (교차 참조 구) 현재 또는 다른 텍스트에서 다른 위치를 지시하는 구, 문장, 또는 아이콘을 포함한다.
  • ref (참조) 부가적인 텍스트 또는 해설로 수정될 수 있는, 다른 위치로 참조를 정의한다.
  • ptr/ (포인터) 다른 위치로의 포인터를 정의한다.
  • lbl (분류 표시) 형태, 예문, 번역, 또는 기타 정보에 대한 분류 표시를 포함한다. 예, 약어, 단축형, 축어적, 대체적, 유의어
As in other types of text, the actual pointing element (e.g. ref or ptr) is used to tag the cross-reference target proper (in dictionaries, usually the headword, possibly accompanied by a homograph number, a sense number, or other further restriction specifiying what portion of the target entry is being referred to). The xr element is used to group the target with any accompanying phrases or symbols used to label the cross-reference; the cross-reference label itself may be tagged as a lbl or may remain untagged. Both of the following are thus legitimate:

glee … Compare madrigal (sense 1) CED

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>glee</orth>
 </form>
 <xr>Compare <ptr target="#madrigal.1"/>
 </xr>
</entry>
<entry xml:id="madrigal.1">
 <form>
<!-- ... -->
 </form>
</entry>

hostellerie Syn. de hôtellerie (sens 1). DNT

<xr type="syn">
 <lbl>Syn. de</lbl>
 <ref>hôtellerie (sens 1)</ref>.
</xr>
In addition to using, or not using, lbl to mark the cross-reference label, the two examples differ in another way. The former assumes that the first sense of madrigal has the identifier madrigal.1, and that the specific form of the reference in the source volume can be reconstructed, if needed, from that information. The latter does not require the first sense of ‘hôtellerie’ to have an identifier, and retains the print form of the cross-reference; by omitting the target attribute of the ref element, however, the second example does assume implicitly either that some software could usefully parse the phrase tagged as a ref and find the location referred to, or else that such processing will not be necessary.
The type attribute on the pointing element or on the xr element may be used to indicate what kind of cross-reference is being made, using any convenient typology. Since different dictionaries may label the same kind of cross-reference in different ways, it may be useful to give normalized indications in thetype attribute, enabling the encoder to distinguish irregular forms of cross-reference more reliably:

rose2 … vb. the past tense of rise. CED

<entry n="2">
 <form>
  <orth>rose</orth>
 </form>
 <xr type="inflectedForm">
  <lbl>the past tense of</lbl>
  <ref target="#rise">rise</ref>
 </xr>
</entry>
<!-- ... -->
<entry xml:id="rise">
 <form>
  <orth>rise</orth>
 </form>
<!-- main entry for "rise" as verb -->
</entry>
from cross-references for synonyms and the like:

antagonist … syn see adverse W7

<xr type="synonym">
 <lbl>syn see</lbl>
 <ref target="#adverse">adverse</ref>
</xr>
<!-- ... -->
<entry xml:id="adverse">
 <form>
  <orth>adverse</orth>
 </form>
<!-- list of synonyms for "adverse" -->
</entry>
Strictly speaking, the reference above is not to the entry for adverse, but to the list of synonyms found within that entry. In some cases, the cross-reference is to a particular subset of the meanings of the entry in question:

globe …V. armillaire (sphère) PR

<xr>V. <ref target="#armillaire">armillaire</ref>
 <lbl type="sense-restriction">sphère</lbl>
</xr>
Cross-references occasionally occur in definition texts, example texts, etc., or may be free-standing within an entry. These may typically be encoded using ref or ptr, without an enclosing xr. For example:

entacher … Acte entaché de nullité, contenant un vice de forme ou passé par un incapable*. DNT

The asterisk signals a reference to the entry for incapable.
<def>contenant un vice de forme ou passé par un <ptr target="#incapable"/>.</def>
In some cases, the form in the definition is inflected, and thus ref must be used to indicate more exactly the intended target, as here:

justifier …4. IMPRIM Donner a (une ligne) une longeur convenable au moyen de blancs (2, sens 1, 3). DNT

<sense n="4">
 <usg type="dom">imprim</usg>
 <def>Donner a (une ligne) une longeur convenable au moyen de
 <ref target="#blanc-2.1.3">blancs (2, sens 1, 3)</ref>
 </def>
</sense>
<entry xml:id="blanc" n="2">
<!-- ... -->
 <sense n="1">
<!-- ... -->
  <def xml:id="blanc-2.1.3">...</def>
<!-- ... -->
 </sense>
<!-- ... -->
</entry>
9.3.5.4 Notes within Entries
Dictionaries may include extensive explanatory notes about usage, grammar, context, etc. within entries. Very often, such notes appear as a separate section at the end of an entry. The standard note element should be used for such material.
  • note contains a note or annotation.
For example:

ain't (eInt) Not standard. contraction of am not, is not, are not, have not or has not: I ain't seen it. ….Usage. Although the interrogative form ain't I? would be a natural contraction of am I not?, it is generally avoided in spoken English and never used in formal English. CED

The formal declaration for note is given in section 3.8 Notes, Annotation, and Indexing.

9.3.6 Related Entries

The re element encloses a degenerate entry which appears in the body of another entry for some purpose. Many dictionaries include related entries for direct derivatives or inflected forms of the entry word, or for compound words, phrases, collocations, and idioms containing the entry word.

Related entries can be complex, and may in fact include any of the information to be found in a regular entry. Therefore, the re element is defined to contain the same elements as an entry element, with the exception that it may not contain any nested re elements.

Examples:

bevvy ("bEvI) Dialect. ~ n., pl. -vies. 1. a drink, esp. an alcoholic one: we had a few bevvies last night. 2. a night of drinking. ~ vb. - vies, -vying, -vied (intr.) 3. to drink alcohol [probably from Old French bevee, buvee, drinking] —'bevvied adj. CED

9.4 Headword and Pronunciation References

Examples, definitions, etymologies, and occasionally other elements such as cross-references, orthographic forms, etc., often contain a shortened or iconic reference to the headword, rather than repeating the headword itself. The references may be to the orthographic form or to the pronunciation, to the form given or to a variant of that form. The following elements are used to encode such iconic references to a headword:
  • oRef/ (철자-형태 참조) 사전 예문에서 표제어의 철자 형식에 대한 참조를 나타낸다.
    type참조에서 표제어에 대한 인쇄상 변화의 종류를 표시한다.
  • pRef/ (발음 참조) 사전의 예에서 표제어의 발음에 대한 참조를 표시한다.
  • oVar (철자-변이 참조) 사전 예제에서 표제어의 변이 철자 형식에 대한 참조를 표시한다.
    type관련된 변이 종류를 표시한다.
  • pVar (발음-변이 참조) 사전의 예에서 표제어의 변이 발음 참조를 표시한다.
These elements all inherit the following attributes from the class att.pointing which may optionally be used to resolve any ambiguity about the headword form being referred to.
  • att.pointing 하나 이상의 URI 참조를 통해서 다른 요소를 가리키는 모든 요소에 의해 사용된 속성 집합을 정의한다.
    target하나 혹은 다수의 URI 참조를 제시하여 참조의 목적지를 명시한다.
Headword references come in a variety of formats:
~
indicates a reference to the full form of the headword
pref~
gives a prefix to be affixed to the headword
~suf
gives a suffix to be affixed to the headword
A~
gives the first letter in uppercase, indicating that the headword is capitalized
pref~suf
gives a prefix and a suffix to be affixed to the headword
a.
gives the initial of the word followed by a full stop, to indicate reference to the full form of the headword
A.
refers to a capitalized form of the headword

The oRef element should be used for iconic or shortened references to the orthographic form(s) of the headword itself. It is an empty element and replaces, rather than enclosing, the reference. Note that the reference to a headword is not necessarily a simple string replacement. In the example ‘ colour1, (US = color) …~ films; ~ TV; Red, blue and yellow are ~s.’ OALD, the tilde stands for either headword form (colour, color).

Examples:

colonel … army officer above a lieutenant-~. OALD

<def>army officer above a lieutenant-<oRef/>
</def>

academy … The Royal A~ of Arts OALD

<q>The Royal <oRef type="cap"/> of Arts</q>
The following example demonstrates the use of the target attribute to refer to a specific form of the headword:

vag- or vago- comb form … : vagus nerve < vagal > < vagotomy > W7

<entry>
 <form>
  <orth xml:id="di-o1">vag-</orth>
  <orth xml:id="di-o2">vago-</orth>
 </form>
 <def>vagus nerve</def>
 <cit type="example">
  <quote>
   <oRef target="#di-o1" type="nohyph"/>al</quote>
  <quote>
   <oRef target="#di-o2" type="nohyph"/>tomy</quote>
 </cit>
</entry>
In many cases the reference is not to the orthographic form of the headword, but rather to another form of the headword — usually to an inflected form. In these cases, the element oVar should be used; this element takes as its content the string as it appears in the text.

take … < Mr Burton took us for French > NPEG

<cit type="example">
 <quote>Mr Burton <oVar type="pt">took</oVar> us for French</quote>
</cit>

take … < was quite ~n with him > NPEG

<cit type="example">
 <quote>was quite <oVar type="pp">
   <oRef/>n</oVar> with him</quote>
</cit>
The next example shows a discontinuous reference, using the attributes next and prev, which are defined in the additional module for linking, segmentation, and alignment (see chapter 16 Linking, Segmentation, and Alignment) and therefore require that that module be selected in addition to that for dictionaries.

mix up… < it's easy to mix her up with her sister > NPEG

<cit type="example">
 <quote>it's easy to <oVar next="#ov2" xml:id="ov1">mix</oVar>
   her <oVar prev="#ov1" xml:id="ov2">up</oVar> with her sister</quote>
</cit>
In addition, some dictionaries make reference to the pronunciation of the headword in the pronunciation of related entries, variants, or examples. The pRef andpVar elements should be used for such references.

hors d'oeuvre /,aw'duhv (Fr O:r dœvr)/ n, pl hors d'oeuvres also hors d'oeuvre /'duhv(z) (Fr ~)/ NPEG

<form>
 <orth>hors d'oeuvre</orth>
 <pron>%aU"dUv</pron>
 <form>
  <usg type="lang">Fr</usg>
  <pron xml:id="di-p2">OR d0vR</pron>
 </form>
</form>
<form type="inflected">
 <number>pl</number>
 <orth>hors d'oeuvres</orth>
 <orth>hors d'oeuvre</orth>
 <pron extent="part">"dUv(z)</pron>
 <form>
  <usg type="lang">Fr</usg>
  <pron>
   <pRef target="#di-p2"/>
  </pron>
 </form>
</form>

Because headword and pronunciation references can occur virtually anywhere in an entry, the oRef, oVar, pRef, and pVar elements can appear within any other element defined for dictionary entries.

Since existing printed dictionaries use different conventions for headword references (swung dash, first letter abbreviated form, capitalization, or italicization of the word, etc.) the exact method used should be documented in the header.

9.5 Typographic and Lexical Information in Dictionary Data

Among the many possible views of dictionaries, it is useful to distinguish at least the following three, which help to clarify some issues raised with particular urgency by dictionaries, on account of the complexity of both their typography and their information structure.
  • (a) the typographic view — the two-dimensional printed page, including information about line and page breaks and other features of layout
  • (b) the editorial view — the one-dimensional sequence of tokens which can be seen as the input to the typesetting process; the wording and punctuation of the text and the sequencing of items are visible in this view, but specifics of the typographic realization are not
  • (c) the lexical view — this view includes the underlying information represented in a dictionary, without concern for its exact textual form

For example, a domain indication in a dictionary entry might be broken over a line and therefore hyphenated (‘naut-’ ‘ical’); the typographic view of the dictionary preserves this information. In a purely editorial view, the particular form in which the domain name is given in the particular dictionary (as ‘nautical’, rather than ‘naut.’, ‘Naut.’, etc.) would be preserved, but the fact of the line break would not. Font shifts might plausibly be included in either a strictly typographic or an editorial view. In the lexical view, the only information preserved concerning domain would be some standard symbol or string representing the nautical domain (e.g. ‘naut.’) regardless of the form in which it appears in the printed dictionary.

In practice, publishers begin with the lexical view — i.e., lexical data as it might appear in a database — and generate first the editorial view, which reflects editorial choices for a particular dictionary (such as the use of the abbreviation ‘Naut.’ for ‘nautical’, the fonts in which different types of information are to be rendered, etc.), and then the typographic view, which is tied to a specific printed rendering. Computational linguists and philologists often begin with the typographic view and analyse it to obtain the editorial and/or lexical views. Some users may ultimately be concerned with retaining only the lexical view, or they may wish to preserve the typographic or editorial views as a reference text, perhaps as a guard against the loss or misinterpretation of information in the translation process. Some researchers may wish to retain all three views, and study their interrelations, since research questions may well span all three views.

In general, an electronic encoding of a text will allow the recovery of at least one view of that text (the one which guided the encoding); if editorial and typographic practices are consistently applied in the production of a printed dictionary, or if exceptions to the rules are consistently recorded in the electronic encoding, then it is in principle possible to recover the editorial view from an encoding of the lexical view, and the typographic view from an encoding of the editorial view. In practice, of course, the severe compression of information in dictionaries, the variety of methods by which this compression is achieved, the complexity of formulating completely explicit rules for editorial and typographic practice, and the relative rarity of complete consistency in the application of such rules, all make the mechanical transformation of information from one view into another something of a vexed question.

This section describes some principles which may be useful in capturing one or the other of these views as consistently and completely as possible, and describes some methods of attempting to capture more than one view in a single encoding. Only the editorial and lexical views are explicitly treated here; for methods of recording the physical or typographic details of a text, see chapter 11 Representation of Primary Sources. Other approaches to these problems, such as the use of repetitive encoding and links to show their correspondences, or the use of feature structures to capture the information structure, and of the ana and inst attributes to link feature structures to a transcription of the editorial view of a dictionary, are not discussed here (for feature structures, see chapter 18 Feature Structures. For linkage of textual form and underlying information, see chapter 17 Simple Analytic Mechanisms).

9.5.1 Editorial View

Common practice in encoding texts of all sorts relies on principles such as the following, which can be used successfully to capture the editorial view when encoding a dictionary:
  1. All characters of the source text should be retained, with the possible exception of rendition text (for which see further below).
  2. Characters appearing in the source text should typically be given as character data content in the document, rather than as the value of an attribute; again, rendition text may optionally be excepted from this rule.
  3. Apart from the characters or graphics in the source text, nothing else should appear as content in the document, although it may be given in attribute values.
  4. The material in the source text should appear in the encoding in the same order. Complications of the character sequence by footnotes, marginal notes, etc., text wrapping around illustrations, etc., may be dealt with by the usual means (for notes, see section 3.8 Notes, Annotation, and Indexing).29
In a very conservative transcription of the editorial view of a text, rendition characters (e.g. the commas, parentheses, etc., used in dictionary entries to signal boundaries among parts of the entry) and rendition text (for example, conjunctions joining alternate headwords, etc.) are typically retained. Removing the tags from such a transcription will leave all and only the characters of the source text, in their original sequence.30
Consider, for example, the following entry:

pinna ('pIn@) n., pl. -nae (-ni:) or -nas. 1. any leaflet of a pinnate compound leaf. 2. Zoology. a feather, wing, fin, or similarly shaped part. 3. another name for auricle (sense 2). [C18: via New Latin from Latin: wing, feather, fin] CED

A conservative encoding of the editorial view of this entry, which retains all rendition text, might resemble the following:
<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>pinna</orth>
  <pron>("pIn@)</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n.</pos>, </gramGrp>
 <form type="inflected">
  <number>pl.</number>
  <form>
   <orth type="lat" extent="part">-nae</orth>
   <pron extent="part">(-ni:)</pron>
  </form> or <orth type="std" extent="part">-nas</orth>
 </form>
 <sense n="1">1. <def>any leaflet of a pinnate compound leaf.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="2">2. <usg type="dom">Zoology</usg>
  <def>a feather, wing, fin, or similarly shaped part.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="3">3. <xr type="syn">
   <lbl>another name for</lbl>
   <ref target="#auricle.2">auricle (sense 2).</ref>
  </xr>
 </sense>
 <etym>[<date>C18</date>: via <lang>New Latin</lang> from <lang>Latin</lang>:
 <gloss>wing</gloss>, <gloss>feather</gloss>,
 <gloss>fin</gloss>]</etym>
</entry>
<entry xml:id="auricle.2">
 <form>
<!-- .... -->
 </form>
</entry>

A somewhat simplified encoding of the editorial view of this entry might exploit the fact that rendition text is often systematically recoverable. For example, parentheses consistently appear around pronunciation in this dictionary, and thus are effectively implied by the start- and end-tags for pron.31 In such an encoding, removing the tags should exactly reproduce the sequence of characters in the source, minus rendition text. The original character sequence can be recovered fully by replacing tags with any rendition text they imply.

Encoding in this way, the example given above might resemble the following. The tagUsage element in the header would be used to record the following patterns of rendition text:
  • parentheses appear around pron elements
  • commas appear before inflected forms
  • the word ‘or’ appears before alternate forms
  • brackets appear around the etymology
  • full stops appear after pos, inflection information, and sense numbers
  • senses are numbered in sequence unless otherwise specified using the global n attribute
<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>pinna</orth>
  <pron>"pIn@</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <form type="inflected">
  <number>pl</number>
  <form>
   <orth type="lat" extent="part">-nae</orth>
   <pron extent="part">-ni:</pron>
  </form>
  <orth type="std" extent="part">-nas</orth>
 </form>
 <sense n="1">
  <def>any leaflet of a pinnate compound leaf.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="2">
  <usg type="dom">Zoology</usg>
  <def>a feather, wing, fin, or similarly shaped part.</def>
 </sense>
 <sense n="3">
  <xr type="syn">
   <lbl>another name for</lbl>
   <ref>auricle (sense 2).</ref>
  </xr>
 </sense>
 <etym>
  <date>C18</date>: via <lang>New Latin</lang> from <lang>Latin</lang>:
 <gloss>wing</gloss>, <gloss>feather</gloss>, <gloss>fin</gloss>
 </etym>
</entry>

When rendition text is omitted, it is recommended that the means to regenerate it be fully documented, using the tagUsage element of the TEI header.

If rendition text is used systematically in a dictionary, with only a few mistakes or exceptions, the global attribute rend may be used on any tag to flag exceptions to the normal treatment. The values of the rend attribute are not prescribed, but it can be used with values such as no-comma, no-left-paren, etc. Specific values can be documented using the rendition element in the TEI header.

In the following (imaginary) example, no left parenthesis precedes the pronunciation:

biryani or biriani %bIrI"A:nI) any of a variety of Indian dishes … [from Urdu]

This irregularity can be recorded thus:
<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>biryani</orth>
  <orth>biriani</orth>
  <pron rend="noleftparen">%bIrI"A:nI</pron>
 </form>
 <def>any of a variety of Indian dishes … </def>
 <etym>from <lang>Urdu</lang>
 </etym>
</entry>

9.5.2 Lexical View

If the text to be interchanged retains only the lexical view of the text, there may be no concern for the recoverability of the editorial (not to speak of the typographic) view of the text. However, it is strongly recommended that the TEI header be used to document fully the nature of all alterations to the original data, such as normalization of domain names, expansion of inflected forms, etc.

In an encoding of the lexical view of a text, there are degrees of departure from the original data: normalizing inconsistent forms like ‘nautical’, ‘naut’., ‘Naut.’, etc., to ‘nautical’ is a relatively slight alteration; expansion of ‘delay -ed -ing’ to ‘delay, delayed, delaying’ is a more substantial departure. Still more severe is the rearranging of the order of information in entries; for example:
  • reorganizing the order of elements in an entry to show their relationship, as in

    clem (klEm) or clam vb. clems, clemming, clemmed or clams, clamming, clammed CED

    where in a strictly lexical view one might wish to group ‘clem’ and ‘clam’ with their respective inflected forms.
  • splitting an entry into two separate entries, as in

    celi.bacy /"selIb@sI/ n [U] state of living unmarried, esp as a religious obligation. celi.bate /"selIb@t/ n [C] unmarried person (esp a priest who has taken a vow not to marry). OALD

    For some purposes, this entry might usefully be split into an entry for ‘celibacy’ and a separate entry for ‘celibate’.
An encoding which captures the lexical view of the example given in the previous section might look something like the following. In this encoding:
  • abbreviated forms have been silently expanded
  • some forms have been moved to allow related forms to be grouped together
  • the part of speech information has been moved to allow all forms to be given together
  • the cross-reference to ‘auricle’ has been simplified
<entry>
 <form>
  <orth>pinna</orth>
  <pron>"pIn@</pron>
  <form type="inflected">
   <number>pl</number>
   <form>
    <orth type="lat">pinnae</orth>
    <pron>'pIni:</pron>

 </etym>
</entry>

9.5.3 Retaining Both Views

It is sometimes desirable to retain both the lexical and the editorial view, in which case a potential conflict exists between the two. When there is a conflict between the encodings for the lexical and editorial views, the principles described in the following sections may be applied.

9.5.3.1 Using Attribute Values to Capture Alternate Views

If the order of the data is the same in both views, then both views may be captured by encoding one ‘dominant’ view in the character data content of the document, and encoding the other using attribute values on the appropriate elements. If all tags were to be removed, the remaining characters would be those of the dominant view of the text.

The attribute class att.lexicographic is used to provide attributes for use in encoding multiple views of the same dictionary entry. These attributes are available for use on all elements defined in this chapter when the base module for dictionaries is selected.

When the editorial view is dominant, the following attributes may be used to capture the lexical view:
  • att.lexicographic 사전용 기본 태그 세트의 요소에서 이용 가능한 전반적 속성들의 집합을 정의한다.
    norm ( 표준화) 비표준형으로 원본 텍스트에서 제시된 정보의 표준형을 제시한다.
    split통합형에 대한 분리 값의 목록을 제시한다.
When the lexical view is dominant, the following attributes may be used to record the editorial view:
  • att.lexicographic 사전용 기본 태그 세트의 요소에서 이용 가능한 전반적 속성들의 집합을 정의한다.
    orig (원본) 원본 문자열을 제시하거나 요소가 원본텍스트에 나타나지 않을 때는 공백 문자열을 제시한다.
    mergedIn다른 요소에 대한 참조를 제시하며, 여기서 원본은 통합형이다.
One attribute is useful in either view:
  • att.lexicographic 사전용 기본 태그 세트의 요소에서 이용 가능한 전반적 속성들의 집합을 정의한다.
    opt (수의적) 요소가 수의적인지 아닌지를 나타낸다.
For example, if the source text had the domain label ‘naut.’, it might be encoded as follows. With the editorial view dominant:
<usg norm="nautical" type="dom">naut.</usg>
The lexical view of the same label would transcribe the normalized form as content of the usg element, the typographic form as an attribute value:
<usg orig="naut." type="dom">nautical</usg>
If the source text gives inflectional information for the verb delay as ‘delay, -ed, -ing’, it might usefully be expanded to ‘delayed, delayed, delaying’. An encoding of the editorial view might take this form:
<form>
 <orth>delay</orth>
 <form type="inflected">
  <orth norm="delayed" extent="part">-ed</orth>
  <tns norm="pst,pstp"/>
 </form>
 <form type="inflected">
  <orth norm="delaying" extent="part">-ing</orth>
  <tns norm="prsp"/>
 </form>
</form>
Note the use of the tns tag with null content, to enable the representation of implicit information even though it has no print realization.
The lexical view might be encoded thus:
<form>
 <orth>delay</orth>
 <form type="inflected">
  <orth orig="-ed">delayed</orth>
  <tns orig="">pst</tns>
  <tns orig="">pstp</tns>
 </form>
 <form type="inflected">
  <orth orig="-ing">delaying</orth>
  <tns orig="">prsp</tns>
 </form>
</form>
A particular problem may be posed by the common practice of presenting two alternate forms of a word in a single string, by marking some parts of the word as optional in some forms. The following entry is for a word which can be spelled either ‘thyrostimuline’ or ‘thyréostimuline’:

thyr(é)ostimuline [tiR(e)ostimylin] …

With the editorial view dominant, this entry might begin thus:
<form>
 <orth split="thyrostimuline, thyréostimuline">thyr(é)ostimuline</orth>
 <pron split="tiRostimylin, tiReostimylin">tiR(e)ostimylin</pron>
</form>
With the lexical view dominant, however, two orth and two pron elements would be encoded, in order to disentangle the two forms; the orig attribute would be used to record the typographic presentation of the information in the source.
<form>
 <orth xml:id="dic-o1" orig="thyr(é)ostimuline">thyrostimuline</orth>
 <pron xml:id="dic-p1" orig="tiR(e)ostimylin">tiRostimylin</pron>
</form>
<form>
 <orth mergedIn="#dic-o1">thyréostimuline</orth>
 <pron mergedIn="#dic-p1">tiReostimylin</pron>
</form>
This example might also be encoded using the opt attribute combined with the attributes next and prev defined in chapter 16 Linking, Segmentation, and Alignment.
<form>
 <orth next="#dict-o2" xml:id="dict-o1">thyr</orth>
 <orth
   next="#dict-o3"
   prev="#dict-o1"
   xml:id="dict-o2"
   opt="true">é</orth>
 <orth prev="#dict-o2" xml:id="dict-o3">ostimuline</orth>
 <pron next="#dict-p2" xml:id="dict-p1">tiR</pron>
 <pron
   next="#dict-p3"
   prev="#dict-p1"
   xml:id="dict-p2"
   opt="true">e</pron>
 <pron prev="#dict-p2" xml:id="dict-p3">ostimylin</pron>
</form>

Note that this transcription preserves both the lexical and editorial views in a single encoding. However, it has the disadvantage that the strings corresponding to entire words do not appear in the encoding uninterrupted, and therefore complex processing is required to retrieve them from the encoded text. The use of the opt attribute is recommended, however, when long spans of text are involved, or when the optional part contains embedded tags.

For example, the following gives two definitions in one text: ‘picture drawn with coloured chalk made into crayons’, and ‘coloured chalk made into crayons’:

pas.tel /"pastl US: pa"stel/ n 1 (picture drawn with) coloured chalk made into crayons. 2… OALD

A simple encoding solution would be to leave the definition text unanalysed, but this might be felt inadequate since it does not show that there are two definitions. A possible alternative encoding would be:
<sense n="1">
 <def>coloured
   chalk made into crayons</def>
 <def>picture drawn with coloured chalk
   made into crayons</def>
</sense>
This transcribes some characters of the source text twice, however, which deviates from the usual practice. The following encoding records both the editorial and lexical views:
<sense n="1">
 <def next="#d2" xml:id="d1" opt="true">picture drawn
   with</def>
 <def prev="#d1" xml:id="d2">coloured chalk made into
   crayons</def>
</sense>
9.5.3.2 Recording Original Locations of Transposed Elements

The attributes described in the previous section are useful only when the order of material is the same in both the editorial and the lexical view. When the two views impose different orders on the data, the standard linking mechanisms may be used to show the original location of material transposed in an encoding of the lexical view.

If the original is only slightly modified, the anchor element may be used to mark the original location of the material, and the location attribute may be used on the lexical encoding of that material to indicate its original location(s). Like those in the preceding section, this attribute is defined for the attribute class att.lexicographic:
  • att.lexicographic 사전용 기본 태그 세트의 요소에서 이용 가능한 전반적 속성들의 집합을 정의한다.
    opt (수의적) 요소가 수의적인지 아닌지를 나타낸다.
For example:

pinna ("pIn@) n., pl. -nae (-ni:) or -nas. CED

<form>
 <orth>pinna</orth>
 <pron>'pIn@</pron>
 <anchor xml:id="p01"/>
 <form type="inflected">
  <number>pl</number>
  <form>
   <orth extent="part">-nae</orth>
   <pron extent="part">-ni:</pron>
  </form>
  <orth extent="part">-nas</orth>
 </form>
</form>
<gramGrp>
 <pos location="#p01">n</pos>
</gramGrp>

9.6 Unstructured Entries

The content model for the entry element provides an entry structure suitable for many average dictionaries, as well as many regular entries in more exotic dictionaries. However, the structure of some dictionaries does not allow the restrictions imposed by the content model for entry. To handle these cases, the entryFree and dictScrap elements are provided to support much wider variation in entry structure. The dictScrap element offers less freedom, in that it can only contain phrase level elements, but it can itself appear at any point within a dictionary entry where any of the structural components of a dictionary entry are permitted. As such, it acts as a container for otherwise anomalous parts of an entry.

The entryFree element places no constraints at all upon the entry: any element defined in this chapter, as well as all the normal phrase-level and inter-level elements, can appear anywhere within it. With the entryFree element, the encoder is free to use any element anywhere, as well as to use or omit grouping elements such as form, gramGrp, etc.

The entryFree element allows the encoding of entries which violate the structure specified for the entry element. For example, in the following entry from a dictionary already in electronic form, it is necessary to include a pron element within a def. This is not permitted in the content model for entry, but it poses no problem in the entryFree element.
<ent
h="demigod"> <hwd>demi|god</hwd> <pr> <ph>"demIgQd</ph> </pr> <hps
ps="n"> <hsn> <def>one who is partly divine and partly human</def>
<def>(in Gk myth, etc) the son of a god and a mortal woman,
eg<cf>Hercules</cf> <pr> <ph>"h3:kjUli:z</ph> </pr> </def> </hsn>
</hps> </ent>
(OALD)
<entryFree>
 <form>
  <orth>demigod</orth>
  <hyph>demi|god</hyph>
  <pron>"demIgQd</pron>
 </form>
 <gramGrp>
  <pos>n</pos>
 </gramGrp>
 <def>one who is partly divine and partly human</def>
 <def>(in Gk myth, etc) the son of a god and a mortal woman, eg
 <mentioned>Hercules</mentioned>
 </def>
 <pron>"h3:kjUli:z</pron>
</entryFree>
The entryFree element also makes it possible to transcribe a dictionary using only phrase-level (‘atomic’) elements—that is, using no grouping elements at all. This can be desirable if the encoder wants a completely ‘flat’ view, with no indication of or commitment to the association of one element with another. The following encoding uses no grouping elements, and keeps all rendition text:

biryani or biriani (%bIrI"A:nI) any of a variety of Indian dishes…[from Urdu] CED

<entryFree>
 <orth>biryani</orth> or <orth>biriani</orth>
 <pron>(%bIrI"A:nI)</pron>
 <def>any of a variety of Indian dishes …</def>
 <etym>[from <lang>Urdu</lang>]</etym>
</entryFree>
Here is an alternative way of representing the same structure, this time using dictScrap:
<entry>
 <dictScrap>
  <orth>biryani</orth> or <orth>biriani</orth>
  <pron>(%bIrI"A:nI)</pron>
  <def>any of a variety of Indian dishes …</def>
  <etym>[from <lang>Urdu</lang>]</etym>
 </dictScrap>
</entry>

We refer the reader to previous and current discussions of a common format for encoding lexical resources. For example, Amsler and Tompa (1988); Calzolari et al. (1990);Fought and Van Ess-Dykema; Ide and Veronis (1995); Ide et al. (1993); Ide et al. (1992); DANLEX Group (1987); and Tutin and Veronis (1998); Ide et al. (2000).

Complications of sequence caused by marginal or interlinear insertions and deletions, which are frequent in manuscripts, or by unconventional page layouts, as in concrete poetry, magazines with imaginative graphic designers, and texts about the nature of typography as a medium, typically do not occur in dictionaries, and so are not discussed here.

This is a slight oversimplification. Even in conservative transcriptions, it is common to omit page numbers, signatures of gatherings, running titles and the like. The simple description above also elides, for the sake of simplicity, the difficulties of assigning a meaning to the phrase ‘original sequence’ when it is applied to the printed characters of a source text; the ‘original sequence’ retained or recovered from a conservative transcription of the editorial view is, of course, the one established during the transcription by the encoder.

The omission of rendition text is particularly common in systems for document production; it is considered good practice there, since automatic generation of rendition text is more reliable and more consistent than attempting to maintain it manually in the electronic text.
