Hi List, Considering the dictionary entries, I will be making several additions and would like the general lists opinion on the following topics. This will be used for the coming database conversion. I will continue to support XML as an export/import format. ---------------- Language Codes: the design will include language codes for spoken and signed languages. Terms, titles, and text segments can be labelled by language. ---------------- Part of Speech: The part of speech can be a text field or a select list. I am consider the following list. Suggestions or comments are welcome. adjective: sign that gives attributes to nouns, extending their definitions. adverb: sign that modify clauses, sentences and phrases directly. conjunction: sign that connect words, phrases or clauses together. interjection: sign that express emotions, sounds, etc. as exclamation. noun: sign that indicates people, beings, things, places, phenomena, qualities or ideas. numeral: sign that indicate quantities of nouns. preposition: sign that describes the relationship of multiple nouns/pronouns in terms of time, distance, or location. pronoun: sign that refer to and substitute nouns. verb: sign that indicate actions, occurrences or states. ---------------- Lexicon usage An interesting designation for dictionary signs. Would this list usable by the various sign language puddles? dated : sign that is no longer fashionable, but is anachronistic. formal : sign whose use is typically restricted to polite, ceremonious, non-casual contexts. informal : sign whose use is typically restricted to casual, non-?ceremonious conversations. pejoratives: sign with negative connotations. slang: nonstandard sign that are typically used to mark membership in a cultural subgroup. Maybe add an additional lexicon usage such as "test" or "student" or "other" to help filter the SignPuddle content. --------------- Additional fields for videos and photos will be added for use with definition, illustration, demonstration. Thoughts or opinions? Regards, ?Steve
