imaginative or non-imaginative, that is, as describing a fictional
or a non-fictional world. |
| Attributes: | | type
| categorizes the factuality of the text.
| | Datatype: (fiction|fact|mixed|inapplicable)
| | Legal values: | | fiction | the text is to be regarded as entirely imaginative
| | fact | the text is to be regarded as entirely informative or factual
| | mixed | the text contains a mixture of fact and fiction
| | inapplicable | the fiction/fact distinction is not regarded
as helpful or appropriate to this text

| Example |
<factuality type=fiction>
|
| Example |
<factuality type=mixed>contains a mixture of gossip and
speculation about real people and events
|
| Note | For many literary texts, a simple binary opposition between
``fiction''
and ``fact'' is na[iuml ]ve in the extreme; this parameter is not intended
for purposes of subtle literary analysis, but as a simple means of
characterising the claimed fictiveness of a given text. No claim is made
that works characterised as ``fact'' are in any sense ``true''.
