Guidelines

  • Archiphonemes should be a single character.
  • Archiphonemes in lexc should be encased in { and }.
  • Archiphonemes should be declared in the Multichar_Symbols section in the header of the file after the grammatical tags, with a comment giving their possible forms.
  • If the archiphoneme is subject to deletion, it should be written in lower case, e.g. {s}
  • If the archiphoneme has a range of default surface forms (even if rarely subject to deletion), it should be written in upper case, e.g. {A}
  • If the archiphoneme is always deleted, it may consist of more than one character, e.g. {dup}. This is, however, advised against.
