To open a Parse lexicon for the auto-interlinearize process, choose the Parse menu
Parse, Open Parse data
Self-loading of a Parse lexicon
By default, once a parse lexicon has been created for an ELAN annotation file, it will be
automatically opened next time the annotation file is opened. If you want to avoid this,
you have to delete the link between these two files,
Go to the Linked File menu in the Lexicon area
Uncheck the checkbox before the name of the Parse file
The Parse file will not be loaded next time the ELAN file is opened.
Saving the linked files
When you close the ELAN annotation file, a window will appear allowing you to unselect
the linked files (lexicon and/or parse) you do not want to save (for any reason). Normally
you should save the lexicons.
Anyway, it is advisable to save the ELAN lexicon regularly during the
intelinearizing process with the Save item in the Lexicon menu, because the Ctrl/S
shortcut in ELAN will not save the lexicons.
6. Glossing principles
The whole glossing process is crucial, because all the queries and their results depend on
the consistency and accuracy of the annotations. This is why glossing must not be seen as
simply giving the descriptive morpheme-by-morpheme annotation that allows a reader to
better understand the meaning of an example, or the details of a morphosyntactic
construction, in a paper or grammar.
Glossing in a software such as Elan for CorpAfroAs implies thinking about the
implications of the chosen labels and chosen annotation system for future retrieval of
relevant data. What is meant by relevant data is data organized as a body of query results
such as to enable the resolution of a problem. For instance, (a) "what type of verb is
preferably used in the Imperfective aspect in my corpus", or (b) "what are the contexts of
use of the different focus particles of my corpus", or (c) "when are color terms realized as
adjectives and when are they realized as verbs in my corpus", or (d) "how often is the
distinction between genitive and locative neutralized in my corpus", etc.
The resolution of (a) implies that verb types should be coded in rx, and aspect should be
annotated in ge; the resolution of (b) implies that different focus particles should be given
systematically different annotations, be it by different labels or by different numbers
