Within transcription

Note: (1) Value in capital letters: implies to select the right choice of the subcategory, ie ACTION VERB ➞ confrontation. (2) Only highlighted relevant elements and attributes for hermeneutics of action.

XPath:

from data mining: ➞ div1[1]|div2[n]/div3[n]/div4[n]

`<element>`	`@type`: VALUE	description
div1	transcription	‘within transcription’ elements from the analyzed text
div2	tablet	tablet's number [n]
div3	col	column's number [n]
div4	part	subsection of the text [n]

XML-TEI elements: lg|l|w
XML-TEI attributes: @ana|@type|@xml:id
Values:
- Traditionaly proposed in XML-TEI: noun|verb
- from preliminary step before primary data: ENTITY'S NAME
- from primary data: entity|VERB
- from objective variables: VERB|ACTION VERB

Following transcription within the elements TEI ➞ text ➞ group ➞ body ➞ div[…] ➞ div4[n] ➞ <lg> , a practical example from KTU 1.3 (colonne 2, line 5b-6a):

<l n="5b-6a" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_l5b_6a_int" corresp="#ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a_int">
  <w>w</w><space/>
  <w>hln</w>
  <g>.</g>
  <name type="character" ana="#Character #ANT #v-ANT-ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a">ʿnt</name>
  <g>.</g>
  <w type="verb" ana="#MḪṢ01 #verb.competition #contend #ANT" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a_tmtḫṣ">tm<lb break="no"/>tḫṣ</w>
  <g>.</g>
  <w>b</w><space/>
  <w type="noun" ana="#ʿMQ">ʿmq</w>
  <g>.</g>
</l>

Only elements from primary data and objective variables are used at this stage:

Annotated translation.
Parsing XML-TEI with R.

<l> ➞ @xml:id:"ktuREF" is essential to link the right ‘objective variables’ to ‘subjective variables’ for R statistics — in the repivous example, xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_l5b-6a.
<w> :
- ➞ @type ‘verb’
  - ➞ @ana #AE VALUE and ʿentityʾ — in the previous example, #ANT.
  - ➞ @ana TAXO and subTAXO — in previous example, #verb.competition #contend.
- ➞ verb ‘value’ — in the previous example, tmtḫṣ.

Another pratical example with a schema, which meaning is “warriors are performing an action of destruction (tmtḫṣn)”:

Specific case, verb repetition. For parsing XML-TEI in R, with and without emphasis.

Note:

XML-TEI elements for the emphasis: <span>
XML-TEI attribute: @type
Value: emphasize

<l n="23" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_l23" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_23">
  <lb/><w type="adv">mʾid</w>
  <g>.</g>
  <w type="verb" ana="#MḪṢ01 #verb.competition #contend #WAR" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_23_tmtḫṣn">tmtḫṣn</w>
  <g>.</g>
  <w>w</w><space/>
  <w type="verb" ana="#ʿN01 #verb.perception #observation #ANT" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_23_tʿn">tʿn</w>
</l>
<l n="24" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_l23" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24"><span type="emphasize" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23"/>
  <lb/><w type="verb" ana="#ḪSB01 #verb.competition #contend #WAR" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24_tḫtṣb">
      <span type="emphasize" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23_tmtḫṣn">tḫtṣb</span></w>
  <g>.</g>
  <w>w</w><space/>
  <w type="verb" ana="#ḤDY01 #verb.perception #observation #ANT" xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24_tḥdy">
    <span type="emphasize" ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23_tʿn">tḥdy</span></w>
  <g>.</g>
  <name type="character" ana="#Character #ANT">ʿnt</name>
</l>

In the previous example <span> @type="emphasize":
- After <l> which includes all words within the line:
  - @xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24" ➞ @ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23" for the emphasis of @n="23"
- After <w> for the verb(s) only:
  - @xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24_tḫtṣb" ➞ @ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23_tmtḫṣn" for the emphasis of “tmtḫṣn”
  - @xml:id="ktu1-3_ii_24_tḥdy" ➞ @ana="#ktu1-3_ii_23_tʿn" for the emphasis of “tʿn”
