XML-TEI

Primary data within the elements <encodingDesc> ➞ <classDecl>:

• Verb:
  • ➯ Most relevant lexem in a group of words or a sentence. A verb belongs to a taxonomy or sub-category.
  • XML-TEI:

          <taxonomy xml:id="primaryData"> 
            <category xml:id="verb"/>  
          </taxonomy>  
          

• Animated entity:
  • ➯ who is the character acting in several ways with relevant objective and subjective variables.
  • XML-TEI attribute for Primary data animated entity:

           <taxonomy xml:id="primaryData"> 
             <category xml:id="entity"/>  
           </taxonomy>  
          

They are several variables which provide relevant information on the character's acting (primary data): verbal semantic, sphere, context, role, biological sex, which follow the same semantic frame for marking up a type of taxonomy:

     <taxonomy xml:id="objectiveData">
       <category xml:id="NAME OF A VARIABLE"/>
       <category xml:id="NAME OF A SUBVARIABLE"/>
     </taxonomy>

Verbal semantic:

• Taxonomy: action
  Note: The current research is on the animated entities action, but of course the same semantic markup can be apply to other semantic categories.
  • Subtaxonomies: movement, agression, confrontation,destruction, displacement, put together
  • XLM-TEI example:

             <category xml:id="semantic">
               <category xml:id="action">
                 <category xml:id="destruction"/>
               </category>    
             </category> 
            

1. Context
   • ➯ in which the action takes place.
   • Subcategories: ritual, battle, single combat, assembly, prayer, feast, wedding, burial, seduction, meeting, complaint, lawsuit, threat, revenge, visit, unknown (unknown_C), broken context (B_ctx_C).
   • XML-TEI example:

           <category xml:id="context">
             <category xml:id="ritual"/>
           </category> 
          

2. Sphere
   • ➯ where the event takes place, inside or outside the household.
   • Subcategories: inside, outside, unknown (unknown_S), broken context (B_ctx_S).
   • XMT-TEI example:

            <category xml:id="sphere">
              <category xml:id="inside"/>
            </category>
           

3. Role:
   • ➯ of the animated entity
   • Subcategories: active, passive, both Active (animated entities X and Y)
   • XML-TEI example:

            <category xml:id="role">
              <category xml:id="active"/>
            <category/> 
           

4. Biological sex:
   • ➯ traditionally known.
   • Female, male
   • XML-TEI example:

             <category xml:id="biologicalSex">
               <category xml:id="female_Sx"/>
             <category/>

They are several variables: consequence, affectivity, degree of desire, volontary intent, fallibility, which follow the same semantic frame for marking up a type of taxonomy:

   <taxonomy xml:id="subjectiveData">
     <category xml:id="NAME OF A VARIABLE"/>
       <category xml:id="NAME OF A SUBVARIABLE"/>
   </taxonomy>

• Consequence:
  • ➯ how is affected by the action.
  • Subcategories: affects the animated entity (subject), affect the animated entity (subject) and other, affect other entity.
  • XML-TEI example:

           <category xml:id="consequence">
             <category xml:id="affectEntity"/>
           </category> 
          

• Affectivity:
  • ➯ what kind of affectivity and its degree?
  • Subcategories: rage, anger, anxious, betrayed, discouraged, hurt, pride, satifaction.
    • Degree of affectivity: feeble, medium, normal, hight, very hight.
  • XML-TEI example:

            <category xml:id="Affectivity">
              <category xml:id="rage"/>
                <category xml:id="degreeAffectivity">
                  <category xml:id="medium"/>
              </category>  
            </category> 
           

• Degree of Desire:
  • ➯ What is the degree of desire of the action?
  • Subcategories: from one to five (number_dD), and unknown (unknown_dD), broken context (B_ctx_dD)
  • XML-TEI example:

            <category xml:id="degreeDesire">
              <category xml:id="two_dD"/>
            </category> 
           

• Volontary Intentionality:
  • ➯ What type of volontary intentionality, and what motivation?
  • Subcategories: to kill, to perform a rtiual, to destroy, to fight.
    • What motivation: pressure or free.
  • XML-TEI example:

            <category xml:id="volontaryIntent">
              <category xml:id="toKill"/>
              <category xml:id="motivation_vI">
                <category xml:id="free"/>
              </category> 
            </category>   
           

   <l n="5b-6a" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a" xml:id="ktu1.3_ii_5b-6a" corresp="#ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a_int">

Only primary data and objective variables are used.

• <w> with @type noun and verb, as well as <name> for
  1. translation
  2. statistics
  .
• @type 'entity': an entity could be a (1) protagonist (principal character), (2) second role, (3) third role, and (4) other. Since this is not the interpretation section, the @type choice has to remain as general as possible.

This sub-section is one of th emost important for interpreting data in R. Categories primary data, objective, and subjective variables... Text analyze from tge transctiption is a first step for this data mining. From previous analyzes data, the section for a preliminary hermeneutics contain:

• Data mining within the elements <TEI> ➞ <body> ➞ <div> ➞ <interpGrp>
• XML-TEI elements:interp|desc|castList|castItem|persName|stage|view|placeName|location|geo|span|
• XML-TEI attributes: @xml:id|@ana|@corresp|@type
• Values:
  • Traditionaly proposed in XML-TEI: modifier|purpose|REF POINTER
  • from preliminary step before primary data: ENTITY'S NAME
  • from primary data: entity
  • from objective variables: ROLE|SUBCATEGORY ACTION VERB|SPHERE|CONTEXT
  • from subjective variables: degreeDesire|AFFECTIVITY|DEGREE AFFECTIVITY|MOTIVATION|CONSEQUENCE
  • additional: protagonist

Explanation:

• Ref pointer @xml:id, and @corresp are used to navigate through the webpage.

The last @ana in <span> is essentialy for R instructions.
