<div>Some have asked for standardization of glossing. But if that is done without additional details you are using comparative labels. </div>

<div>Either way, I had always assumed they stay for language-specific categories. Just like other lg-spec labels they are often homonyms with comparative labels, which is why motivations and more information is usually provided. A scenario where we all use
unique labels (cf ISOCat) is not realistic.</div>

<div>p.s. By the way, I've noted that there is not larger mailing list for lg-spec descriptivists and field workers (besides area or family restricted ones). If anyone knows of such a list, do let me know.</div>

Here is a question that I would like to pose to the members of the ALT list. If we accept the distinction between "descriptive categories" and "comparative concepts", what do the labels we use in glossing example sentences stand for - in particular, the labels
defined in the Leipzig glossing rules? I have some thoughts about this myself but would like to hear what others think first.<br>
