\begin_layout Abstract
This paper describes some features that LyX provides to linguists.
 It demonstrates how to use some native support in order to produce numbered
 examples, glosses, semantic markup, and phonetic symbols (IPA).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Aims and prerequisites
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Basically, this paper describes the features of the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Linguistics
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 module that ships with LyX as of version 1.6.0.
 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Modules
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 are support files (introduced with LyX 1.6.0) that can easily be selected
 for any document.
 In order to use the Linguistics module, go to 
\family sans
Document\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Settings\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Class
\family default
, select 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

Linguistics
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 from the list of available modules, and hit the 
\family sans
Add
\family default
 button to select it for your document (as already done for this document).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You should be able to use the module with any document class (please inform
 me, if not).
 However, in order to use all the features, you need to have the following
 LaTeX packages installed:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate

\emph on
covington.sty
\emph default
 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "covington"

\end_inset

: This is the base package used for numbered examples and glosses.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate

\emph on
enumitem.sty
\emph default
 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "enumitem"

\end_inset

: This package is used for the Subexamples style.
 It is generally useful to alter the appearance of lists (such as 
\emph on
enumerate
\emph default
, 
\emph on
itemize
\emph default
, 
\emph on
description
\emph default
).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate

\emph on
csquotes.sty
\emph default
 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "csquotes"

\end_inset

: Needed for the 
\emph on
Meaning
\emph default
 character style.
 The package provides context sensitive quotation marks, depending on the
 language in use.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Numbered examples
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Numbered examples are inserted via the layout dropdown box in the toolbar.
 There are three variants:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Numbered Example (multiline)
This is a multiline example [Style 
\emph on
Numbered Example (multiline)
\emph default
]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Numbered Example (multiline)
it can have several paragraphs
\end_layout

\begin_layout Numbered Examples (consecutive)
This is a single example
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "exa:single-example"

\end_inset

 [Style 
\emph on
Numbered Example (consecutive)
\emph default
]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Numbered Examples (consecutive)
Consecutive single examples get their own numbers
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subexample
This is a subexample
\begin_inset CommandInset label
LatexCommand label
name "sub:subexample"

\end_inset

 [Style 
\emph on
Subexample
\emph default
]
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subexample
And another one
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
References to examples are produced as usual: insert a label to the example
 and a crossreference via 
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Cross references
\family default
.
 We refer here, just for the sake of demonstrating this, to 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "exa:single-example"

\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset CommandInset ref
LatexCommand ref
reference "sub:subexample"

\end_inset

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Glosses
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The Linguistics module provides two kinds of glosses, which can be inserted
 via 
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Custom Insets
\family default
: The standard 
\emph on
Custom:Glosse
\emph default
 provides a glosse that consists of two lines and a translation, the 
\emph on
Custom:Tri-Glosse
\emph default
 insets consists of three lines and a translation.
 Note that the translation line is mandatory and must be preceded by the
 command 
\family typewriter

\backslash
glt
\family default
 which should be inserted verbatim in the Glosse inset (ERT is not needed,
 and in fact not even possible).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Here is a simple example:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Custom:Glosse
status open

\begin_layout Standard
C'est un exemple simple
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
{This is} an example simple
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\backslash
glt 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

This is a simple example
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that the braces hold together multi-word expressions.
 In the same vein, we can make a three-line glosse:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex Custom:Tri-Glosse
status open

\begin_layout Standard
C'est un exemple simple
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
{Das ist} ein Beispiel einfach
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
{This is} an example simple
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\backslash
glt 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

This is a simple example
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If you want to have numbered glosses, you can simply insert the Glosse inset
 to a numbered examples paragraph, as follows:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Numbered Examples (consecutive)
\begin_inset Flex Custom:Tri-Glosse
status open

\begin_layout Standard
Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
My skeertuig is vol palings
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
My hovercraft is {full of} eels
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\backslash
glt 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

Do you have matches?
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset


\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Semantic Markup (Character Styles)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The Linguistics module comes with some character styles that are common
 in linguistics:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Concept (in small caps): 
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Concepts
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard
concept
\end_layout

\end_inset

 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Expression (emphasized): 
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Expression
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard
expression
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Enumerate
Meaning (in single quotes): 
\begin_inset Flex CharStyle:Meaning
status collapsed

\begin_layout Standard
meaning
\end_layout

\end_inset


\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You can insert the character styles via the 
\family sans
Edit\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Text Style
\family default
 submenu.
 If you need to change the appearance of these styles later, you can redefine
 them in the preamble.
 To make expressions bold, for instance, insert:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\backslash
renewcommand
\backslash
lingexpr[1]{
\backslash
textbf{#1}}
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Similarly, concept (
\family typewriter

\backslash
lingconcept
\family default
) and meaning (
\family typewriter

\backslash
lingmeaning
\family default
) can be modified.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Phonetic Symbols (IPA)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
You do not need the Linguistics module to insert phonetic symbols, this
 is a base functionality of LyX.
 However, since this is frequently used by linguists, we will describe it
 (briefly) in this paper nevertheless.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A prerequisite to use LyX's IPA support is the LaTeX package 
\emph on
tipa
\emph default
 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "tipa"

\end_inset

.
 Additionally, if you want to have instant preview, you should have the
 
\emph on
preview-latex
\emph default
 package 
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "preview"

\end_inset

 installed.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Phonetic symbols can be entered via 
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Special characters\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Phonetic symbols.
 
\family default
You get a little frame, where you can insert the symbols using the shortcut
 notation which is described in the tipa manual.
 Example: 
\begin_inset Formula $\text{\textipa{[Ekspl@"neIS@n]}}$
\end_inset

.
 Given that preview-latex is installed and you have switched on instant
 preview (in 
\family sans
Tools\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Preferences\SpecialChar \menuseparator
Graphics
\family default
), you'll get a nice preview as soon as the cursor leaves the frame.
\end_layout
