(In addition to global attributes
and those inherited from metrical, phrase)
type
characterizes the type of segment.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: For a <cl> may take values such as finite, nonfinite,
declarative, interrogative, relative etc. For a <phr> or
<w>, values such as noun, verb, preposition, etc., may be used. For
an <m> element, values such as clitic, prefix, stem will be more
appropriate. For a <c> element, values such as letter, punctuation,
digit may be used.
Default: #IMPLIED
function
characterizes the function of the segment.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: For a <cl>, may take values such as
coordinate, subject, adverbial etc. For a <phr>, such values as
subject, predicate etc. may be more appropriate.
Default: #IMPLIED
part
specifies whether or not the segment is fragmented by some other
structural element, for example a clause which is divided between two
or more sentences.
Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F)
Legal values are:
Y
the segment is incomplete in some respect
N
either the segment is complete, or no claim is made as to
its completeness
I
the initial part of an incomplete segment
M
a medial part of an incomplete segment
F
the final part of an incomplete segment
Default: N
Note
The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is
clear how the segment is to be reconstituted.
Note
The principles on which segmentation is carried out, and
any special codes or attribute values used, should be defined explicitly
in the <segmentation> element of the <encodingDesc> within
the associated TEI header.
