Structure of the chapters

Each of the chapters dealing with a given category have the following components:

  1. the for the respective category, from the [&make_named_href('', "node323.html#moca","[Monachini, Calzolari 93]")] document, as a reminder and link to the other EAGLES documents, and as a link with other languages;
  2. a (and, in part, a type graph), to show the subclassification operated within each category;
  3. a description the (``central semantics'') of the respective class; this section may contain (human-processable or in part automatically applicable) tests to verify class membership;
  4. indicating with which other broad classes the elements of the considered class could be confused, possibly with delimitation tests;
  5. defining the relevant features and their values, along with examples for each feature-value pair;
  6. containing pairwise delimitation criteria and examples, to illustrate distinctions at the level of feature values;
  7. an repeating the most relevant examples discussed in the section, with a distinctive context;
  8. The document has, at its end, a which allows to efficiently retrieve the sections where certain words are described.

These devices mostly serve definitional or reference purposes as well as the purpose of giving guidance to annotators. Below we list them again, indicating the primary use of each:
