Objectives

1. Reformulate this list of objectives.
2. Prepare examples, several of which should be derived from published linguistic analyses, tagged according to the proposals of TEI P1. Report on the relative strengths and weakness of the various notations proposed.
3. Evaluate the usability of the various notations with respect to the work of non-theoretical linguists. The needs of the following communities should be considered:
   • corpus linguists analyzing whole corpora,
   • stylo-statisticians lemmatizing all the words of a text
   • philologists recording an analysis of a given passage.
   • translators providing word level glosses
4. Propose work groups, specifying their work plans and approximate time table, to improve and extend upon the basis laid in TEI P1 for linguistic work. Example topics for such work groups include:
   • Development of a unified set of tags for part-of-speech analysis in Western-European (or: Indo-European) languages, including their older forms.
   • Development of special purpose notations for particular schools of linguistic analysis (e.g. categorial grammars, functional grammars, systemic grammars).
   • Applicability of the basic mechanisms of TEI P1 to non-Indo-European languages.
   • Development (possibly in co-operation with the WG on spoken texts) of special purpose tags for phonological and phonetic analyses.
5. Respond to comments on the relevant portions of TEI P1 routed to this work group by the editors.

Administrative

Work group reports to Committee for Text Analysis and Interpretation. Head of the work group is Terry Langendoen. Four members of the work group are to be named by the work group head; at least one should be a European.

Funding is authorized for one meeting.
