<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hello<br><br>>>"debro" will cross-refer to "debriń".<br>
>These are dialectal variants, right?<br><br>Not always, I mean the same speaker may use either debro or debriń to say "to eat", without any difference in meaning. <br>
<br>
>Since dialect and speaker are two different things, I would suggest<br>
>creating separate fields for them, e.g.<br>
>source<br>
>|----dialect<br>
>|----speaker<br><br>This is what I do, I use an abbreviation of the name of the place plus a number that says what speaker said the word/sentence. Eg. "Gd1" means "first speaker of my list of speakers from Guidel". In the abbreviation list at the beginning of the dictionary, I give the name of these informators; <br>
<br>
>Why are there several pronunciation fields after a single lemma? You<br>
>already accounted for dialectal variants in your Variants element (at<br>
>least if my guess above is correct), and you account for morphological<br>
>forms in the Morphology field (see below). What additional variation in<br>
>pronunciation do you have?<br><br>The same word may be pronounced in different ways within the same parish, and even by the same person (especially when speaking slowly or quickly), that's why I give several pronunciations. <br>
<br>
>> 1. First meaning 2. Second meaning Example for the first meaning <br>
>> Source for the example for the first meaning.<br>
<br>
>To be blunt, I think that's unwise, and I don't know any dictionary that<br>
>does it that way.<br><br>I didn't say I wanted it to be that way, I said Tshwanelex did it that way in my dictionary -- but actually it was my fault, I made a mistake in the DTD - I've solved it now.<br>
<br>
Ok, thanks for your answers.<br>I have asked new questions on Saturday (messages 5078 and 5079). I'm sorry for asking so many questions within a weekend...<br>Thanks again,<br>Regards,<br><br>L. <br>
