It demonstrates how to use some native support in order to produce numbered examples, glosses, OT tableaux, semantic markup, structure trees, 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 \SpecialChar 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 \SpecialChar 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 Modules \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 \SpecialChar 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. \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Installed on your system: \begin_inset Info type "package" arg "covington" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_deeper \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 ). \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Installed on your system: \begin_inset Info type "package" arg "enumitem" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_deeper \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. \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Installed on your system: \begin_inset Info type "package" arg "csquotes" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate \emph on float.sty \emph default \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "float" \end_inset : Needed for the OT tableaux floats and list of floats. This package should be part of any \SpecialChar LaTeX distribution. \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Installed on your system: \begin_inset Info type "package" arg "float" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Enumerate \emph on forest.sty \emph default \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "forest" \end_inset : This package is used to generate structure trees. \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_deeper \begin_layout Itemize Installed on your system: \begin_inset Info type "package" arg "forest" \end_inset . \end_layout \end_deeper \begin_layout Section Numbered examples \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Numbered examples are inserted via the layout drop-down 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 "subsec: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 cross-reference 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 "subsec:subexample" \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you want to modify the numbering of an individual example, you can use \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Custom Numbering \family default . \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 Glosse \emph default provides a gloss that consists of two lines (a gloss pair) and a translation, the \emph on Tri-Glosse \emph default insets consists of three lines and a translation (the third line is usually needed to give morphological or phonological information next to the gloss pair). Each translation line might span multiple lines in the output, i. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset e., the paragraphs are automatically broken if they exceed the text width. The translation line is inserted by means of \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Glosse Translation \family default . It does not matter where you insert the translation, it is always printed as the last line. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a simple example for a \emph on Glosse \emph default : \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Glosse status open \begin_layout Plain Layout C'est un exemple simple \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Flex GroupGlossedWords status open \begin_layout Plain Layout This is \end_layout \end_inset an example simple \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Quotes els \end_inset This is a simple example \begin_inset Quotes ers \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent Use \family sans Edit\SpecialChar menuseparator Text Style\SpecialChar menuseparator GroupGlossedWords \family default in order to hold together multi-word expressions (or alternatively just put braces in TeX mode \begin_inset ERT status open \begin_layout Plain Layout { \end_layout \end_inset around those words \begin_inset ERT status open \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset ). Note that you can enter multiple spaces to align the glosses in the \SpecialChar LyX work area; this will not affect the output. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a three-line gloss ( \emph on Tri-Glosse \emph default ); the procedure is the same: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Tri-Glosse status open \begin_layout Plain Layout C'est un exemple simple \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Flex GroupGlossedWords status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Das ist \end_layout \end_inset ein Beispiel einfach \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Flex GroupGlossedWords status open \begin_layout Plain Layout This is \end_layout \end_inset an example simple \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Quotes els \end_inset This is a simple example \begin_inset Quotes ers \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent If you want to have numbered glosses, simply insert the gloss inset to a numbered examples paragraph, as follows: \end_layout \begin_layout Numbered Examples (consecutive) \begin_inset Flex Tri-Glosse status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voller Aale \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout My skeertuig is vol palings \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout My hovercraft is \begin_inset Flex GroupGlossedWords status open \begin_layout Plain Layout full of \end_layout \end_inset eels \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Argument 1 status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Quotes els \end_inset Do you have matches? \begin_inset Quotes ers \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Subsection* Tips & Tricks \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection* Avoiding Page Breaks within Glosses \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Page breaks might occur within glosses, which is not desirable. A workaround is to wrap glosses into boxes (via \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Box\SpecialChar menuseparator Frameless \family default ). If you want to automate this for all glosses, you can copy the following code to \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator LaTeX Preamble \family default : \begin_inset Separator latexpar \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={[LaTeX]TeX},basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout % Do not break pages at two-line glosses \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash AtBeginDocument{% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash renewenvironment{linggloss}[2][]{% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash def \backslash glosstr{ \backslash glt #1}% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash begin{minipage}{.7 \backslash textwidth} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash gll #2}{ \backslash glosstr \backslash glend \backslash end{minipage}} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={[LaTeX]TeX},basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout % Do not break pages at three-line glosses \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash AtBeginDocument{% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash renewenvironment{lingglosss}[2][]{% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash def \backslash glosstr{ \backslash glt #1}% \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash begin{minipage}{.7 \backslash textwidth} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash glll #2}{ \backslash glosstr \backslash glend \backslash end{minipage}} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout } \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard You might have to adapt the minipage width ( \family typewriter .7 \backslash textwidth \family default in the example code) to fit the glosses to your actual page width. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection* Footnotes in Glosses \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Although you can insert a footnote in a \emph on Glosse \emph default inset, LaTeX compilation will not succeed. If you need footnotes, put \family typewriter \backslash footnotemark \family default in TeX mode in the glosse at the point where the footnote number should appear, and \family typewriter \backslash footnotetext{Actual footnote ...} \family default , also in TeX mode, right behind the \emph on Glosse \emph default inset. If you need several footnotes, just insert multiple of these constructs. \end_layout \begin_layout Subsubsection* Using Glosses (and Examples) in a Beamer Presentation \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The \emph on covington \emph default package and the \emph on beamer \emph default class do not work together out of the box, since they both try to define the commands \family typewriter \backslash example \family default and \family typewriter \backslash examples \family default , which results in a \SpecialChar LaTeX error. You can work around the problem by inserting the following code in \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator Local Layout \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily},tabsize=4" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout Provides covington 1 \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout AddToPreamble \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash let \backslash example \backslash relax \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash let \backslash endexample \backslash relax \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash let \backslash examples \backslash relax \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash let \backslash endexamples \backslash relax \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash usepackage{covington} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout EndPreamble \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Press \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset validate \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset and \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset OK \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . This effectively defuncts beamer's example(s) environment in favour of covington's. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Furthermore, if you want to use glosses in \emph on beamer \emph default , you need to put it in a \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset fragile \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset frame. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Optimality Theory Tableaux \end_layout \begin_layout Standard OT tableaux itself can of course simply be inserted as ordinary tables (for specific features such as dashed lines and shaded cells, cf. the \emph on EmbeddedObjects \emph default manual). However, you might want to have the tableaux numbered throughout the document, and you might want to have a \emph on List of Tableaux \emph default , similar to the \emph on List of Tables \emph default . \end_layout \begin_layout Standard The Linguistics module provides support for both. In \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Floats \family default , you will find a Tableaux float: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Float tableau placement h wide false sideways false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \align center \begin_inset Tabular \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout /atikap/ \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \noun on Onset \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \noun on NoCoda \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \noun on Dep \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \noun on Max \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Formula $\mbox{☞}$ \end_inset \begin_inset Formula $\mbox{\textipa{P}}$ \end_inset a.ti.ka \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout * \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout * \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout a.ti.ka \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout *! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout * \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Formula $\mbox{\textipa{P}}$ \end_inset a.ti.kap \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout *! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout * \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout a.ti.kap \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout *! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout *! \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \begin_inset Text \begin_layout Plain Layout \end_layout \end_inset \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \begin_inset Caption Standard \begin_layout Plain Layout Example Tableau \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that by default, the caption is always placed below the tableaux in the output, no matter where you put it in the \SpecialChar LyX window. To get the Tableau captions on top, put the following code in \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator Preamble \family default : \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={[LaTeX]TeX},basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash floatstyle{plaintop} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash restylefloat{tableau} \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you use a KOMA class, use the following code instead: \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={[LaTeX]TeX},basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash floatstyle{komaabove} \end_layout \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash restylefloat{tableau} \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard A List of Tableaux inset can be found in \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Lists & TOC \family default . It looks like this: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset FloatList tableau \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 Concepts status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout concept \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Expression (emphasized): \begin_inset Flex Expression status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout expression \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Enumerate Meaning (in single quotes): \begin_inset Flex Meaning status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout 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 Quote \begin_inset listings lstparams "language={[LaTeX]TeX},basicstyle={\footnotesize\ttfamily}" inline false status open \begin_layout Plain Layout \backslash renewcommand \backslash lingexpr[1]{ \backslash textbf{#1}} \end_layout \end_inset \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 Linguistic structure trees \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Meanwhile, many \SpecialChar LaTeX are available which help producing structure trees. \SpecialChar LyX supports the \family sans forest \family default package, which combines high flexibility and power with a comfortable input syntax. The Linguistics module provides a Structure Tree inset, which can be inserted via \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Custom Insets \family default . Within this inset, you can insert the bracket notation used by \family sans forest \family default (and also by other similar packages such as \family sans qtree \family default ). \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Here is a simple example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Structure Tree status open \begin_layout Plain Layout [VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[D[a]][NP[letter]]] ] ] \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent If you view the PDF output, you will see that the input \end_layout \begin_layout Quote \family typewriter \size small [VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[D[a]][NP[letter]]]]] \end_layout \begin_layout Standard expands to a real structure tree. To view the result within the \SpecialChar LyX work area, you can simply embed the Structure Tree inset into a Preview inset ( \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Preview \family default ). If instant preview is correctly installed and activated, you should see the tree immediately (just click on the image in order to edit): \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Preview \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Structure Tree status open \begin_layout Plain Layout [VP [DP[Mary]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[John]] [DP[D[a]][NP[response]]] ] ] \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent Roofs can be easily generated by means of the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset roof \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset option \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout \noindent Note that the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset roof \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset option only exists as of \family sans forest \family default version 2.0. We have added some code to the preamble of this manual to support previous versions. If you use a \family sans forest \family default version < 2.0, you either need to copy this code to your preamble or use the old option \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset triangle \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset instead of \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset roof \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset . \end_layout \end_inset (note that the comma has special meaning, as it marks options): \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Structure Tree status open \begin_layout Plain Layout [VP [DP[John]] [V' [V[sent]] [DP[Mary]] [DP[another letter, roof]] ] ] \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent In order to align nodes of the tree more elegantly, use the \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset tier \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset option. All nodes which have the same \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset tier \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset allocated get aligned. Here is an example: \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \begin_inset Flex Structure Tree status open \begin_layout Plain Layout [VP [DP[John,tier=word]] [V' [V[sent,tier=word]] [DP[Mary,tier=word]] [DP[D[a,ti er=word]][NP[letter,tier=word]]] ] ] \end_layout \end_inset \end_layout \begin_layout Standard \noindent The package supports many additional features, such as movement arrows and decorations, that cannot documented here (please refer to the detailed package documentation \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "forest" \end_inset ). \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 \SpecialChar LyX . However, since this is frequently used by linguists, we will describe it (briefly) in this manual nevertheless. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard If you use traditional \SpecialChar LaTeX or PDF\SpecialChar LaTeX , a prerequisite to use \SpecialChar LyX 's IPA support is the \SpecialChar LaTeX package \emph on tipa \emph default \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "tipa" \end_inset . \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout If you use Xe\SpecialChar TeX or Lua\SpecialChar TeX (i. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset e., if you have clicked \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset Use non-\SpecialChar TeX fonts \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in \family sans Document\SpecialChar menuseparator Settings\SpecialChar menuseparator Fonts \family default ), no extra package is needed. \end_layout \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 The recommended way to insert phonetic symbols is via \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Special characters\SpecialChar menuseparator Phonetic symbols. \family default This gives you an input box ( \begin_inset Quotes eld \end_inset inset \begin_inset Quotes erd \end_inset in \SpecialChar LyX speak), where you can insert the symbols. Note that this box can be used both for the insertion of small snippets (inline) and multiple paragraphs of phonetic notation. While the cursor is inside the box, a toolbar opens, which provides the basic set of phonetic symbols (sorted by the IPA categories). \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Currently, there is one symbol missing: the labiodental flap (added to the IPA in 2005). This symbol is not yet supported by the \emph on tipa \emph default package and thus cannot be supported by LyX. \end_layout \end_inset Each of the toolbar's panels can be torn off the bar by clicking on the dashed line on its top. This way, you can insert most symbols quite comfortably: \begin_inset IPA \begin_layout Standard [l \begin_inset IPADeco bottomtiebar status open \begin_layout Plain Layout ai \end_layout \end_inset k ðɪs] \end_layout \end_inset . \begin_inset Foot status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout Note that, if you want to insert diacritics, the diacritics are inserted \emph on after \emph default the base character. That is to say, for \begin_inset IPA \begin_layout Standard [d̥] \end_layout \end_inset you need to insert \family typewriter \family default and then the \family typewriter \family default subring diacritic from the toolbar immediately after the \family typewriter \family default . If you need a diacritic alone, you can achieve this by inserting a blank and then the diacritic, as in \begin_inset IPA \begin_layout Standard ̼ \end_layout \end_inset ( \family typewriter = \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset + \family default ). \end_layout \end_inset Given that \emph on preview-latex \emph default is installed and you have switched on instant preview (in \family sans Tools\SpecialChar menuseparator Preferences\SpecialChar menuseparator Look \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset & \begin_inset space ~ \end_inset Feel\SpecialChar menuseparator Display \family default ), you'll get a nice WYSIWYG preview as soon as the cursor leaves the box. Alternatively to the toolbar, you can also insert the symbols directly via the shortcut notation which is described in the \emph on tipa \emph default manual: here's \begin_inset IPA \begin_layout Standard \family roman \series medium \shape up \size normal \emph off \bar no \strikeout off \uuline off \uwave off \noun off \color none [@n Ig"zA:mpl] \end_layout \end_inset ( \emph on tipa \emph default shortcut notation: \family typewriter [@n Ig"zA:mpl \family default ]). Furthermore, you can insert symbols via \family sans Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator Special characters\SpecialChar menuseparator Symbols\SpecialChar ldots \family default (which might be useful for symbols that are not yet covered by the toolbar), or you can simply paste unicode-encoded text (e. \begin_inset space \thinspace{} \end_inset g., from other applications) into the box. The output should be equal, no matter what input method you chose. \end_layout \begin_layout Standard Note that you can also insert or paste most IPA glyphs outside the specific IPA input box: [əz ʃəʊn hɪə]. In the output, they will be automatically transformed into the correct \emph on tipa \emph default macro (if not, please inform us). However, please note that this method produces inferior output quality, since it will most likely result in a mix of fonts (the latin characters are taken from the base document font, the IPA glyphs from the IPA font). Within the IPA input box, on the other hand, the IPA font is used for all characters. So unless you only need to insert single IPA characters, using the IPA input box is highly recommended. \end_layout \begin_layout Section Further information \end_layout \begin_layout Standard For a detailed description of specific possibilities for linguists, please refer to the Linguist\SpecialChar LyX page on the \SpecialChar LyX wiki \begin_inset CommandInset citation LatexCommand cite key "linguistlyx" \end_inset (feel free to enter your own hints there). \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "covington" \end_inset The covington package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/covington/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "csquotes" \end_inset The csquotes package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/csquotes/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "enumitem" \end_inset The enumitem package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "float" \end_inset The float package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "forest" \end_inset The forest package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/forest \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "linguistlyx" \end_inset Maria Gouskova, Stacia Hartleben and Jürgen Spitzmüller: Using \SpecialChar LyX for Linguistic Papers. \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "preview" \end_inset The preview-latex package: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/preview/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \begin_layout Bibliography \begin_inset CommandInset bibitem LatexCommand bibitem key "tipa" \end_inset The tipa package and fonts: \begin_inset Flex URL status collapsed \begin_layout Plain Layout http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/tipa/ \end_layout \end_inset . \end_layout \end_body \end_document
