Explanation¶
In etymology annotation, you can associate words or morphemes with their historical roots. The classes usually correspond to some kind of lexical ID in an etymological database.
You can use Description Annotation to optionally associate a human readable description with the etymology annotation (or any other annotation for that matter), or alternatively leave it up to the etymological set definition.
The sets are, as always, user-defined and may correspond for instance with particular historical languages or language groups. The below example illustrates this, and multiple sets are used for multiple etymological annotations.
Example¶
The following example shows sense annotations:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FoLiA xmlns="http://ilk.uvt.nl/folia" version="2.5.2" xml:id="example"> <metadata> <annotations> <token-annotation set="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LanguageMachines/uctodata/master/setdefinitions/tokconfig-eng.foliaset.ttl"> <annotator processor="p1" /> </token-annotation> <text-annotation> <annotator processor="p1" /> </text-annotation> <sentence-annotation> <annotator processor="p1" /> </sentence-annotation> <paragraph-annotation> <annotator processor="p1" /> </paragraph-annotation> <etymology-annotation set="old-english"> <!-- an ad-hoc set --> <annotator processor="p1" /> </etymology-annotation> <etymology-annotation set="proto-germanic"> <!-- an ad-hoc set --> <annotator processor="p1" /> </etymology-annotation> <etymology-annotation set="proto-indo-european"> <!-- an ad-hoc set --> <annotator processor="p1" /> </etymology-annotation> <description-annotation> <annotator processor="p1" /> </description-annotation> </annotations> <provenance> <processor xml:id="p1" name="proycon" type="manual" /> </provenance> </metadata> <text xml:id="example.text"> <p xml:id="example.p.1"> <s xml:id="example.p.1.s.2"> <t>I went home.</t> <w xml:id="example.p.1.s.2.w.1" class="WORD"> <t>I</t> </w> <w xml:id="example.p.1.s.2.w.2" class="WORD"> <t>went</t> <etymology class="wendan" set="old-english"> <desc>Originally the simple past and past participle of wend, but now the past of go due to suppletion.
