<gram>

<gram> (grammatical information) within an entry in a dictionary or a terminological data file, contains grammatical information relating to a term, word, or form.

Attributes

(In addition to global attributes and those inherited from dictionaries, morphInfo)

type classifies the grammatical information given according to some convenient typology — in the case of terminological information, preferably the dictionary of data element types specified in ISO WD 12 620.

Datatype: CDATA

Sample values include:

pos	part of speech (any of the word classes to which a word may be assigned in a given language, based on form, meaning, or a combination of features, e.g. noun, verb, adjective, etc.)
gen	gender (formal classification by which nouns and pronouns, and often accompanying modifiers, are grouped and inflected, or changed in form, so as to control certain syntactic relationships)
num	number (e.g. singular, plural, dual, ...)
animate	animate or inanimate
proper	proper noun or common noun

Default: #IMPLIED

Note

A much fuller list of values for the type attribute may be generated from the dictionary of data element types under preparation as ISO TC 37/SC 3/WD 12 620, Computational Aids in Terminology. See ISO 12 620 for fuller details.

Example

Note

In terminological data, the <gram> element usually refers to the most recently specified <term> or <otherForm> element. In flat term entries, the group and depend attributes may be used to indicate exceptions to this general rule. In dictionaries, the element typically relates to the form or forms with which it is grouped in a <form> or other grouping element.
