4 The LMF etymology extension
NOTE See Annex A for examples of possible etymological typologies.
4.1 The Cognate class and the Etymon class

Cognate and Etymon are defined as subclasses of the LexicalEntry class from the LMF core module (see

Figure 1) . Both classes define lexical entries which have been added to a lexical resource with the

purpose of describing the etymologies of one or more other lexical entries. Instances of either Etymon

or Cognate can be assigned a language which is different from the language of the lexicon as a whole

(this is specified in the LexiconInformation class as described in ISO 24613-1).
Figure 1 — Cognate and Etymon as subclasses of LexicalEntry

Individuals of both the Etymon and the Cognate classes shall be in an aggregation relationship with at

least one individual of type EtyLink (see 4.3). When describing etymologies, there are cases in which it

is necessary to deal with instances of LexicalEntry (and hence also by the subclass relation instances

of Etymon and Cognate) which are roots, and in particular reconstructed roots. In these cases, the fact

of being a root and the type of the root in question shall be specified using the attribute rootType.

In the case of reconstructed roots or other word forms, the attribute status serves to associate the

element with a written description of the likelihood of its having been in use (see the example in A.8).

See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with these two classes.
4.2 The Etymologizable class

The Etymologizable class provides a means of referring to the set of linguistic elements that can have

etymologies. By defining a single class encompassing all such ‘etymologizable’ elements, the classes

of elements which can have etymologies can be easily extended in the future wherever the necessity

arises. The following classes are subtypes of the Etymologizable class (see Figure 2): LexicalEntry,

Sense, Form and CognateSet (see 4.4).

1) In this document, the following colour scheme is used in diagrams: classes in yellow are introduced in this

document, and classes in pink have been previously introduced in ISO 24613-1 and ISO 24613-2.

Figure 2 — The Etymologizable class and its subclasses
4.3 The Etymology class and the EtyLink class

The Etymology class allows for the description of the etymology of a linguistic element. More specifically,

it allows for the description of those linguistic elements that are subclasses of the Etymologizable class.

The type or types of etymological process involved in a given etymology can be specified using the type

attribute, and also potentially the subtype attribute (in the case when the type of the etymology can be

further specified). Possible values for type and subtype can vary according to the theoretical approach

adopted by the compiler of a resource and/or the linguistic or editorial focus of the resource. The use of

nested Etymology instances allows a combination of etymological processes to be described. Examples

of etymological processes that shall be used as values for type/subtype: borrowing, inheritance; word

formation: compounding, derivation; sense shifts: narrowing, widening, amelioration, pejoration, metaphor,

metonymy; phonetic/phonological processes: place assimilation, dissimilation, epenthesis, metathesis,

hardening, weakening, etc. The list of data categories provided in Annex B shall be used in complement

to the appropriate classes. Individual links between two elements in an etymology can also be given

a type, see the description of EtyLink below. Given that an Etymology instance can be taken from

an external source, it can be associated with a Bibliography instance, which shall be defined as per

ISO 24613-2 (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 — The Etymology class

Instances of Etymology are associated with one or more EtyLink instances, each of which represents a

single stage or step in the etymology of a given lexical item (see Figure 4). EtyLink serves to link together

individuals belonging to the subclasses of Etymologizable. EtyLink is a subclass of the CrossREF class

as defined in ISO 24613-1. The use of CrossREF requires that the target objects representing the given

lexical content be given id attributes. The use of the id attribute on an individual of the Etymologizable

class as a target allows for the modelling of a generic sequential temporal ordering of multiple elements,

using the attributes prev and next. Instances of the EtyLink class can further specify additional

temporal relationships using various temporal attributes associated with the source and target of each

EtyLink instance.

oSIST ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2021
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)

Individuals of the Etymon and Cognate classes (subtypes of LexicalEntry) shall be associated with at

least one individual of EtyLink. See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with the Etymology and

EtyLink classes.
4.4 The CognateSet class

The CognateSet class (see Figure 5) is a container for sets of one or more Cognate items and zero or

more Bibliography items (see ISO 24613-2). The CognateSet is a construct related to onomasiology. Its

contents are items from languages related to that of a given LexicalEntry (and therefore by the subclass

relation of any given Etymon or Cognate) and which have been gathered together with the purpose

of demonstrating linguistic similarities or dissimilarities of salient kinds. The use of CognateSet

implies that the LexicalEntry (and therefore Etymon and Cognate) instances which it contains share an

etymological source.
Figure 5 — CognateSet
4.5 The Date class

The components of a LexicalEntry and its subclasses shall be associated with a specific date by making

use of the Date class. Furthermore, Date allows the specification of a number of degrees of precision. A

precise year, and potentially month and day, shall be stated using the date attribute and a rough date

with the attribute circa. Within a span of time with different levels of specificity, there is the possibility

of using one or more dating attributes. Where a span of time is known (or asserted), the lower and upper

ends of the span can be specified using notBefore, notAfter respectively. For date and time formats,

ISO 8601-1 and ISO 8601-2 shall be used.
4.6 The Gloss class

The Gloss class (see Figure 6) represents a textual description of the meaning of a word or a phrase

that is intended for human consumption. Individuals of the class can either represent paraphrases or

synonyms and these may be in the language of the entry or in another language. See Table 1 for a list of

attributes to be used with this class.

(informative)
Examples of possible etymological typologies
A.1 Example of simple inheritance

The example in Figure A.1 describes the inheritance of a lexical entry from a parent language, in this

case the adverb semper in Sardinian which comes from the Latin word semper. The Sardinian word is

linked to a single Etymology instance which is associated with the type inheritance (see Annex B for

a definition of this type). The Etymology is then associated with an individual of type EtyLink which

represents the process of change from the Latin etymon to the Sardinian lexical entry.

Figure A.1 — Diagram of inheritance in Sardinian
A.2 Example of a diachronic etymological process (inheritance with
phonological change)

In the following example, the development of the word meaning ‘wine’ (ipa: [veŋ]) in the Emiliano

variety of Italian is traced back using a series of Etymons which are ordered and linked together using

EtyLink instances, from the Vulgar Latin vinu through to the immediate predecessor of the word in

its current manifestation. These individual links can be accessed through an Etymology individual

(with the type inheritance) which represents the history of the LexicalEntry. The ordering of EtyLinks

is implemented by means of the two attributes prev and next. These attributes are not displayed in

Figure A.2 for reasons of space, but their use is shown in Figure A.6, for the Example given in A.6, and in

Figure A.10, for the Example given in A.8.

Figure A.2 — Diagram of multi-stage inheritance and phonological change in Bolognese

A.3 Example of word form inheritance

The derivation of the singular and plural forms of the Portuguese noun naçao ‘nation’, naçao (sg)

and nações (pl), respectively, derived from two forms of a Vulgar Latin (VL) noun, nātiōnem (sg, acc),

nātiōnes (pl, acc) is described in Figure A.3. Herein, since the Portuguese forms concerned are both the

plural and singular, the Etymon has two WordForm instances, one for each grammatical number. Note

in particular the association of grammaticalCase and inflectionType attributes with the WordForm

of the Etymon via a GrammaticalInformation instance. In a comprehensive lexicon of Portuguese that

contained such etymological information for a sufficient number of lexical entries, it would be possible,

by contrasting the contents of the WordForm in the LexicalEntry with the Etymon, to appreciate the

following language-wide phenomena: 1) Portuguese lost grammatical case; 2) the vast majority of its

nouns come from the VL accusative case; 3) where the VL singular (accusative) ending is -tiōnem, the

Portuguese form is written “-çao” and pronounced [sɐ̃w]; where the VL plural (accusative) ending is

-tiōnes, the Portuguese form is written “-ções” and pronounced [sõj̃s].

NOTE This etymology can be further articulated by adding the phonological process types for each stage

of the diachrony. This can done in the model by adding the appropriate data category defined in Annex B to the

value of type on the EtyLink for the given stages.

A.4 Example of metaphorical semantic shift

The example in Figure A.4 from Mixtepec-Mixtec shows the derivation of one sense from another via

metaphor. In this case, the word translating to ‘kidney’ was derived from a metaphorical extension

of the word meaning ‘bean’ ntuchi. The Etymology is attached to the kidney sense of the word ntuchi.

The EtyLink instance contains the attributes source and target with the id values of the respective

components specifying the directionality of the process. As a defining feature of the process of metaphor

is that there has to be a change in the semantic domain between the source and target sense, each sense

has a domain specified in the subject field. The CrossREF class defined in ISO 24613-2 is used to specify

a URI corresponding to the dbpedia entry for each sense.

A.5 Example of borrowing and compounding

In Figure A.5, an example of a complex etymological borrowing is given, the borrowing of pamplemousse

‘grapefruit’ by French from Dutch (see References [4] and [18]). In addition to the borrowing, the

etymology shows the diachrony of the word formation process that occurred within Dutch in which

the compound pompelmousse was formed from the etymons pompel and limoes, with the former

subsequently being borrowed into French. A CrossREF (see ISO 24613-2) instance is used to specify that

the borrowed Etymon is a compound in Dutch and that its components are ordered. The components of

the compound are represented as Etymons containing the salient forms as Lemma.
Figure A.5 — Diagram of borrowing and compounding of French pamplemousse
A.6 Example of use of temporal information

The example in Figure A.6 shows the encoding of the etymology of the French lexical item chef with a

focus on the diachronic stages and time frame of its phonetic development (see Reference [13]). Herein

at the level of Etymology, the process specifying the fact that chef was inherited from Latin is encoded

in the attribute type which is given the value ”inheritance”. Within the Etymology, there is a series of

Etymon items containing the temporal attributes notBefore and notAfter which are used to specify the

spans of time, and the sequential ordering asserted is that a given form of the item would have been in

use. Note also the ordering of Etymon items via the use of prev and next attributes on the appropriate

EtyLink individuals.

A.7 CognateSet with Bibliography

Figure A.7 shows an example of a cognate set as taken from an actual etymological dictionary source

(see Reference [19]). A number of cognate forms in related languages are given to compare to the lexical

item girl. Although the LexicalEntry is inherently part of the CognateSet, this relationship is assumed

and thus it is not represented as Cognate in the encoding.

A major point of interest in this entry is the fact that the lexical entry girl, whose contemporary English

sense is given in the Definition for the main entry, was used early on to denote a young person regardless

of gender, and therefore became subject to a semantic shift over its long period of use. Each Cognate

has an associated Sense and a Definition instance which together describe related lexical entries in

Germanic languages, all of which are hypothesised as having been inherited from a common source.

A.8 Comprehensive etymological example

In order to demonstrate some of the expressivity of the current model and its potential for dealing with

realistic examples of etymological data, the etymological information of part of a single entry, namely

[6]

the entry for the Latin word amārus ‘bitter’ in Figure A.8 , is modelled in Figures A.9 and A.10.

The entry consists of a listing of two of the word’s derivatives along with a series of its etymons and

cognates. The entry also contains a paragraph of textual commentary on the etymology of amārus (that

is the paragraph starting with ‘The suffix –arus’…); this commentary is not modelled as structured data

in the example. The original text of the entry is shown in Figure A.8.

Figure A.8 — Sample entry of Latin amārus

The modelling of this entry is presented in two parts. First is a diagram (Figure A.9) which details

the LMF modelling of the first two lines of the entry (shown in Figure A.8): the lines containing the

lemma, meaning and part of speech of the lexical entry as well as its derivatives. In the LMF modelling

of the entry, the lexical entry amārus is linked to its derivatives using the CrossREF element (defined in

ISO 24613-2). CrossREF is used as a means of modelling the attestation of a given derivation or sense of

the entry. The CrossREF individuals in question are typed as attestations using the attribute type, and

with any additional information (in this case the presence of the plus sign after the bibliographic citation

in Reference [6] means that the linguistic usage in question can also be found in later sources) added as

text using the note attribute. In this instance, the bibliographic element refers to a single author (and

therefore to their corpus of works) and the date attribute refers to the whole period encompassing their

lifespan.

The second part of the example (Figure A.10) details the modelling of the etymological information

itself (for ease of reading the elements of each of the two cognate sets are coloured using two different

colours, cyan and purple). The Cognates are each shown as belonging to one of two CognateSet elements

and the entire etymology is attributed to the source by associating the Bibliography with the Etymology

element for the Lexical Entry. Two other Etymology elements are used to describe etymologies for

Cognates included within the CognateSet. The attribute rootType is used to indicate that the form of the

etymon is reconstructed, and the attribute status to indicate a level of uncertainty.

4 The LMF etymology extension
NOTE See Annex A for examples of possible etymological typologies.
4.1 The Cognate class and the Etymon class

Cognate and Etymon are defined as subclasses of the LexicalEntry class from the LMF core module (see

Figure 1) . Both classes define lexical entries which have been added to a lexical resource with the

purpose of describing the etymologies of one or more other lexical entries. Instances of either Etymon

or Cognate can be assigned a language which is different from the language of the lexicon as a whole

(this is specified in the LexiconInformation class as described in ISO 24613-1).
Figure 1 — Cognate and Etymon as subclasses of LexicalEntry

Individuals of both the Etymon and the Cognate classes shall be in an aggregation relationship with at

least one individual of type EtyLink (see 4.3). When describing etymologies, there are cases in which it

is necessary to deal with instances of LexicalEntry (and hence also by the subclass relation instances

of Etymon and Cognate) which are roots, and in particular reconstructed roots. In these cases, the fact

of being a root and the type of the root in question shall be specified using the attribute rootType.

In the case of reconstructed roots or other word forms, the attribute status serves to associate the

element with a written description of the likelihood of its having been in use (see the example in A.8).

See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with these two classes.
4.2 The Etymologizable class

The Etymologizable class provides a means of referring to the set of linguistic elements that can have

etymologies. By defining a single class encompassing all such ‘etymologizable’ elements, the classes

of elements which can have etymologies can be easily extended in the future wherever the necessity

arises. The following classes are subtypes of the Etymologizable class (see Figure 2): LexicalEntry,

Sense, Form and CognateSet (see 4.4).

1) In this document, the following colour scheme is used in diagrams: classes in yellow are introduced in this

document, and classes in pink have been previously introduced in ISO 24613-1 and ISO 24613-2.

Figure 2 — The Etymologizable class and its subclasses
4.3 The Etymology class and the EtyLink class

The Etymology class allows for the description of the etymology of a linguistic element. More specifically,

it allows for the description of those linguistic elements that are subclasses of the Etymologizable class.

The type or types of etymological process involved in a given etymology can be specified using the type

attribute, and also potentially the subtype attribute (in the case when the type of the etymology can be

further specified). Possible values for type and subtype can vary according to the theoretical approach

adopted by the compiler of a resource and/or the linguistic or editorial focus of the resource. The use of

nested Etymology instances allows a combination of etymological processes to be described. Examples

of etymological processes that shall be used as values for type/subtype: borrowing, inheritance; word

formation: compounding, derivation; sense shifts: narrowing, widening, amelioration, pejoration, metaphor,

metonymy; phonetic/phonological processes: place assimilation, dissimilation, epenthesis, metathesis,

hardening, weakening, etc. The list of data categories provided in Annex B shall be used in complement

to the appropriate classes. Individual links between two elements in an etymology can also be given

a type, see the description of EtyLink below. Given that an Etymology instance can be taken from

an external source, it can be associated with a Bibliography instance, which shall be defined as per

ISO 24613-2 (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 — The Etymology class

Instances of Etymology are associated with one or more EtyLink instances, each of which represents a

single stage or step in the etymology of a given lexical item (see Figure 4). EtyLink serves to link together

individuals belonging to the subclasses of Etymologizable. EtyLink is a subclass of the CrossREF class

as defined in ISO 24613-1. The use of CrossREF requires that the target objects representing the given

lexical content be given id attributes. The use of the id attribute on an individual of the Etymologizable

class as a target allows for the modelling of a generic sequential temporal ordering of multiple elements,

using the attributes prev and next. Instances of the EtyLink class can further specify additional

temporal relationships using various temporal attributes associated with the source and target of each

EtyLink instance.

oSIST ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2021
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)

Individuals of the Etymon and Cognate classes (subtypes of LexicalEntry) shall be associated with at

least one individual of EtyLink. See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with the Etymology and

EtyLink classes.
4.4 The CognateSet class

The CognateSet class (see Figure 5) is a container for sets of one or more Cognate items and zero or

more Bibliography items (see ISO 24613-2). The CognateSet is a construct related to onomasiology. Its

contents are items from languages related to that of a given LexicalEntry (and therefore by the subclass

relation of any given Etymon or Cognate) and which have been gathered together with the purpose

of demonstrating linguistic similarities or dissimilarities of salient kinds. The use of CognateSet

implies that the LexicalEntry (and therefore Etymon and Cognate) instances which it contains share an

etymological source.
Figure 5 — CognateSet
4.5 The Date class

The components of a LexicalEntry and its subclasses shall be associated with a specific date by making

use of the Date class. Furthermore, Date allows the specification of a number of degrees of precision. A

precise year, and potentially month and day, shall be stated using the date attribute and a rough date

with the attribute circa. Within a span of time with different levels of specificity, there is the possibility

of using one or more dating attributes. Where a span of time is known (or asserted), the lower and upper

ends of the span can be specified using notBefore, notAfter respectively. For date and time formats,

ISO 8601-1 and ISO 8601-2 shall be used.
4.6 The Gloss class

The Gloss class (see Figure 6) represents a textual description of the meaning of a word or a phrase

that is intended for human consumption. Individuals of the class can either represent paraphrases or

synonyms and these may be in the language of the entry or in another language. See Table 1 for a list of

attributes to be used with this class.

Annex A
(informative)
Examples of possible etymological typologies
A.1 Example of simple inheritance

The example in Figure A.1 describes the inheritance of a lexical entry from a parent language, in this

case the adverb semper in Sardinian which comes from the Latin word semper. The Sardinian word is

linked to a single Etymology instance which is associated with the type inheritance (see Annex B for

a definition of this type). The Etymology is then associated with an individual of type EtyLink which

represents the process of change from the Latin etymon to the Sardinian lexical entry.

Figure A.1 — Diagram of inheritance in Sardinian
A.2 Example of a diachronic etymological process (inheritance with
phonological change)

In the following example, the development of the word meaning ‘wine’ (ipa: [veŋ]) in the Emiliano

variety of Italian is traced back using a series of Etymons which are ordered and linked together using

EtyLink instances, from the Vulgar Latin vinu through to the immediate predecessor of the word in

its current manifestation. These individual links can be accessed through an Etymology individual

(with the type inheritance) which represents the history of the LexicalEntry. The ordering of EtyLinks

is implemented by means of the two attributes prev and next. These attributes are not displayed in

Figure A.2 for reasons of space, but their use is shown in Figure A.6, for the Example given in A.6, and in

Figure A.10, for the Example given in A.8.

Figure A.2 — Diagram of multi-stage inheritance and phonological change in Bolognese

A.3 Example of word form inheritance

The derivation of the singular and plural forms of the Portuguese noun naçao ‘nation’, naçao (sg)

and nações (pl), respectively, derived from two forms of a Vulgar Latin (VL) noun, nātiōnem (sg, acc),

nātiōnes (pl, acc) is described in Figure A.3. Herein, since the Portuguese forms concerned are both the

plural and singular, the Etymon has two WordForm instances, one for each grammatical number. Note

in particular the association of grammaticalCase and inflectionType attributes with the WordForm

of the Etymon via a GrammaticalInformation instance. In a comprehensive lexicon of Portuguese that

contained such etymological information for a sufficient number of lexical entries, it would be possible,

by contrasting the contents of the WordForm in the LexicalEntry with the Etymon, to appreciate the

following language-wide phenomena: 1) Portuguese lost grammatical case; 2) the vast majority of its

nouns come from the VL accusative case; 3) where the VL singular (accusative) ending is -tiōnem, the

Portuguese form is written “-çao” and pronounced [sɐ̃w]; where the VL plural (accusative) ending is

-tiōnes, the Portuguese form is written “-ções” and pronounced [sõj̃s].

NOTE This etymology can be further articulated by adding the phonological process types for each stage

of the diachrony. This can done in the model by adding the appropriate data category defined in Annex B to the

value of type on the EtyLink for the given stages.

A.4 Example of metaphorical semantic shift

The example in Figure A.4 from Mixtepec-Mixtec shows the derivation of one sense from another via

metaphor. In this case, the word translating to ‘kidney’ was derived from a metaphorical extension

of the word meaning ‘bean’ ntuchi. The Etymology is attached to the kidney sense of the word ntuchi.

The EtyLink instance contains the attributes source and target with the id values of the respective

components specifying the directionality of the process. As a defining feature of the process of metaphor

is that there has to be a change in the semantic domain between the source and target sense, each sense

has a domain specified in the subject field. The CrossREF class defined in ISO 24613-2 is used to specify

a URI corresponding to the dbpedia entry for each sense.

A.5 Example of borrowing and compounding

In Figure A.5, an example of a complex etymological borrowing is given, the borrowing of pamplemousse

‘grapefruit’ by French from Dutch (see References [4] and [18]). In addition to the borrowing, the

etymology shows the diachrony of the word formation process that occurred within Dutch in which

the compound pompelmousse was formed from the etymons pompel and limoes, with the former

subsequently being borrowed into French. A CrossREF (see ISO 24613-2) instance is used to specify that

the borrowed Etymon is a compound in Dutch and that its components are ordered. The components of

the compound are represented as Etymons containing the salient forms as Lemma.
Figure A.5 — Diagram of borrowing and compounding of French pamplemousse
A.6 Example of use of temporal information

The example in Figure A.6 shows the encoding of the etymology of the French lexical item chef with a

focus on the diachronic stages and time frame of its phonetic development (see Reference [13]). Herein

at the level of Etymology, the process specifying the fact that chef was inherited from Latin is encoded

in the attribute type which is given the value ”inheritance”. Within the Etymology, there is a series of

Etymon items containing the temporal attributes notBefore and notAfter which are used to specify the

spans of time, and the sequential ordering asserted is that a given form of the item would have been in

use. Note also the ordering of Etymon items via the use of prev and next attributes on the appropriate

EtyLink individuals.

A.7 CognateSet with Bibliography

Figure A.7 shows an example of a cognate set as taken from an actual etymological dictionary source

(see Reference [19]). A number of cognate forms in related languages are given to compare to the lexical

item girl. Although the LexicalEntry is inherently part of the CognateSet, this relationship is assumed

and thus it is not represented as Cognate in the encoding.

A major point of interest in this entry is the fact that the lexical entry girl, whose contemporary English

sense is given in the Definition for the main entry, was used early on to denote a young person regardless

of gender, and therefore became subject to a semantic shift over its long period of use. Each Cognate

has an associated Sense and a Definition instance which together describe related lexical entries in

Germanic languages, all of which are hypothesised as having been inherited from a common source.

A.8 Comprehensive etymological example

In order to demonstrate some of the expressivity of the current model and its potential for dealing with

realistic examples of etymological data, the etymological information of part of a single entry, namely

[6]

the entry for the Latin word amārus ‘bitter’ in Figure A.8 , is modelled in Figures A.9 and A.10.

The entry consists of a listing of two of the word’s derivatives along with a series of its etymons and

cognates. The entry also contains a paragraph of textual commentary on the etymology of amārus (that

is the paragraph starting with ‘The suffix –arus’…); this commentary is not modelled as structured data

in the example. The original text of the entry is shown in Figure A.8.

Figure A.8 — Sample entry of Latin amārus

The modelling of this entry is presented in two parts. First is a diagram (Figure A.9) which details

the LMF modelling of the first two lines of the entry (shown in Figure A.8): the lines containing the

lemma, meaning and part of speech of the lexical entry as well as its derivatives. In the LMF modelling

of the entry, the lexical entry amārus is linked to its derivatives using the CrossREF element (defined in

ISO 24613-2). CrossREF is used as a means of modelling the attestation of a given derivation or sense of

the entry. The CrossREF individuals in question are typed as attestations using the attribute type, and

with any additional information (in this case the presence of the plus sign after the bibliographic citation

in Reference [6] means that the linguistic usage in question can also be found in later sources) added as

text using the note attribute. In this instance, the bibliographic element refers to a single author (and

therefore to their corpus of works) and the date attribute refers to the whole period encompassing their

lifespan.

The second part of the example (Figure A.10) details the modelling of the etymological information

itself (for ease of reading the elements of each of the two cognate sets are coloured using two different

colours, cyan and purple). The Cognates are each shown as belonging to one of two CognateSet elements

and the entire etymology is attributed to the source by associating the Bibliography with the Etymology

element for the Lexical Entry. Two other Etymology elements are used to describe etymologies for

Cognates included within the CognateSet. The attribute rootType is used to indicate that the form of the

etymon is reconstructed, and the attribute status to indicate a level of uncertainty.

This document describes an extension to ISO 24613-1 and ISO 24613-2 to support the development of

detailed descriptions of common etymological phenomena and/or diachronic information with respect

to lexical entries in born-digital and/or retro-digitized lexicons. It provides both a meta-model for such

an extension as well as the relevant data categories.

4 The LMF etymology extension
NOTE See Annex A for examples of possible etymological typologies.
4.1 The Cognate class and the Etymon class

Cognate and Etymon are defined as subclasses of the LexicalEntry class from the LMF core module (see

Figure 1) . Both classes define lexical entries which have been added to a lexical resource with the

purpose of describing the etymologies of one or more other lexical entries. Instances of either Etymon

or Cognate can be assigned a language which is different from the language of the lexicon as a whole

(this is specified in the LexiconInformation class as described in ISO 24613-1).
Figure 1 — Cognate and Etymon as subclasses of LexicalEntry

Individuals of both the Etymon and the Cognate classes shall be in an aggregation relationship with at

least one individual of type EtyLink (see 4.3). When describing etymologies, there are cases in which it

is necessary to deal with instances of LexicalEntry (and hence also by the subclass relation instances

of Etymon and Cognate) which are roots, and in particular reconstructed roots. In these cases, the fact

of being a root and the type of the root in question shall be specified using the attribute rootType.

In the case of reconstructed roots or other word forms, the attribute status serves to associate the

element with a written description of the likelihood of its having been in use (see the example in A.8).

See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with these two classes.
4.2 The Etymologizable class

The Etymologizable class provides a means of referring to the set of linguistic elements that can have

etymologies. By defining a single class encompassing all such ‘etymologizable’ elements, the classes

of elements which can have etymologies can be easily extended in the future wherever the necessity

arises. The following classes are subtypes of the Etymologizable class (see Figure 2): LexicalEntry,

Sense, Form and CognateSet (see 4.4).

1) In this document, the following colour scheme is used in diagrams: classes in yellow are introduced in this

document, and classes in pink have been previously introduced in ISO 24613-1 and ISO 24613-2.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)
Figure 2 — The Etymologizable class and its subclasses
4.3 The Etymology class and the EtyLink class

The Etymology class allows for the description of the etymology of a linguistic element. More specifically,

it allows for the description of those linguistic elements that are subclasses of the Etymologizable class.

The type or types of etymological process involved in a given etymology can be specified using the type

attribute, and also potentially the subtype attribute (in the case when the type of the etymology can be

further specified). Possible values for type and subtype can vary according to the theoretical approach

adopted by the compiler of a resource and/or the linguistic or editorial focus of the resource. The use of

nested Etymology instances allows a combination of etymological processes to be described. Examples

of etymological processes that shall be used as values for type/subtype: borrowing, inheritance; word

formation: compounding, derivation; sense shifts: narrowing, widening, amelioration, pejoration, metaphor,

metonymy; phonetic/phonological processes: place assimilation, dissimilation, epenthesis, metathesis,

hardening, weakening, etc. The list of data categories provided in Annex B shall be used in complement

to the appropriate classes. Individual links between two elements in an etymology can also be given

a type, see the description of EtyLink below. Given that an Etymology instance can be taken from

an external source, it can be associated with a Bibliography instance, which shall be defined as per

ISO 24613-2 (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 — The Etymology class

Instances of Etymology are associated with one or more EtyLink instances, each of which represents a

single stage or step in the etymology of a given lexical item (see Figure 4). EtyLink serves to link together

individuals belonging to the subclasses of Etymologizable. EtyLink is a subclass of the CrossREF class

as defined in ISO 24613-1. The use of CrossREF requires that the target objects representing the given

lexical content be given id attributes. The use of the id attribute on an individual of the Etymologizable

class as a target allows for the modelling of a generic sequential temporal ordering of multiple elements,

using the attributes prev and next. Instances of the EtyLink class can further specify additional

temporal relationships using various temporal attributes associated with the source and target of each

EtyLink instance.
Figure 4 — EtyLink
© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)

Individuals of the Etymon and Cognate classes (subtypes of LexicalEntry) shall be associated with at

least one individual of EtyLink. See Table 1 for a list of attributes to be used with the Etymology and

EtyLink classes.
4.4 The CognateSet class

The CognateSet class (see Figure 5) is a container for sets of one or more Cognate items and zero or

more Bibliography items (see ISO 24613-2). The CognateSet is a construct related to onomasiology. Its

contents are items from languages related to that of a given LexicalEntry (and therefore by the subclass

relation of any given Etymon or Cognate) and which have been gathered together with the purpose

of demonstrating linguistic similarities or dissimilarities of salient kinds. The use of CognateSet

implies that the LexicalEntry (and therefore Etymon and Cognate) instances which it contains share an

etymological source.
Figure 5 — CognateSet
4.5 The Date class

The components of a LexicalEntry and its subclasses shall be associated with a specific date by making

use of the Date class. Furthermore, Date allows the specification of a number of degrees of precision. A

precise year, and potentially month and day, shall be stated using the date attribute and a rough date

with the attribute circa. Within a span of time with different levels of specificity, there is the possibility

of using one or more dating attributes. Where a span of time is known (or asserted), the lower and upper

ends of the span can be specified using notBefore, notAfter respectively. For date and time formats,

ISO 8601-1 and ISO 8601-2 shall be used.
4.6 The Gloss class

The Gloss class (see Figure 6) represents a textual description of the meaning of a word or a phrase

that is intended for human consumption. Individuals of the class can either represent paraphrases or

synonyms and these may be in the language of the entry or in another language. See Table 1 for a list of

attributes to be used with this class.

Annex A
(informative)
Examples of possible etymological typologies
A.1 Example of simple inheritance

The example in Figure A.1 describes the inheritance of a lexical entry from a parent language, in this

case the adverb semper in Sardinian which comes from the Latin word semper. The Sardinian word is

linked to a single Etymology instance which is associated with the type inheritance (see Annex B for

a definition of this type). The Etymology is then associated with an individual of type EtyLink which

represents the process of change from the Latin etymon to the Sardinian lexical entry.

Figure A.1 — Diagram of inheritance in Sardinian
A.2 Example of a diachronic etymological process (inheritance with
phonological change)

In the following example, the development of the word meaning ‘wine’ (ipa: [veŋ]) in the Emiliano

variety of Italian is traced back using a series of Etymons which are ordered and linked together using

EtyLink instances, from the Vulgar Latin vinu through to the immediate predecessor of the word in

its current manifestation. These individual links can be accessed through an Etymology individual

(with the type inheritance) which represents the history of the LexicalEntry. The ordering of EtyLinks

is implemented by means of the two attributes prev and next. These attributes are not displayed in

Figure A.2 for reasons of space, but their use is shown in Figure A.6, for the Example given in A.6, and in

Figure A.10, for the Example given in A.8.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)

Figure A.2 — Diagram of multi-stage inheritance and phonological change in Bolognese

A.3 Example of word form inheritance

The derivation of the singular and plural forms of the Portuguese noun naçao ‘nation’, naçao (sg)

and nações (pl), respectively, derived from two forms of a Vulgar Latin (VL) noun, nātiōnem (sg, acc),

nātiōnes (pl, acc) is described in Figure A.3. Herein, since the Portuguese forms concerned are both the

plural and singular, the Etymon has two WordForm instances, one for each grammatical number. Note

in particular the association of grammaticalCase and inflectionType attributes with the WordForm

of the Etymon via a GrammaticalInformation instance. In a comprehensive lexicon of Portuguese that

contained such etymological information for a sufficient number of lexical entries, it would be possible,

by contrasting the contents of the WordForm in the LexicalEntry with the Etymon, to appreciate the

following language-wide phenomena: 1) Portuguese lost grammatical case; 2) the vast majority of its

nouns come from the VL accusative case; 3) where the VL singular (accusative) ending is -tiōnem, the

Portuguese form is written “-çao” and pronounced [sɐ̃w]; where the VL plural (accusative) ending is

-tiōnes, the Portuguese form is written “-ções” and pronounced [sõj̃s].

NOTE This etymology can be further articulated by adding the phonological process types for each stage

of the diachrony. This can done in the model by adding the appropriate data category defined in Annex B to the

value of type on the EtyLink for the given stages.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)
Figure A.3 — Diagram of inheritance of Portuguese inflections
A.4 Example of metaphorical semantic shift

The example in Figure A.4 from Mixtepec-Mixtec shows the derivation of one sense from another via

metaphor. In this case, the word translating to ‘kidney’ was derived from a metaphorical extension

of the word meaning ‘bean’ ntuchi. The Etymology is attached to the kidney sense of the word ntuchi.

The EtyLink instance contains the attributes source and target with the id values of the respective

components specifying the directionality of the process. As a defining feature of the process of metaphor

is that there has to be a change in the semantic domain between the source and target sense, each sense

has a domain specified in the subject field. The CrossREF class defined in ISO 24613-2 is used to specify

a URI corresponding to the dbpedia entry for each sense.

ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)
A.5 Example of borrowing and compounding

In Figure A.5, an example of a complex etymological borrowing is given, the borrowing of pamplemousse

‘grapefruit’ by French from Dutch (see References [4] and [18]). In addition to the borrowing, the

etymology shows the diachrony of the word formation process that occurred within Dutch in which

the compound pompelmousse was formed from the etymons pompel and limoes, with the former

subsequently being borrowed into French. A CrossREF (see ISO 24613-2) instance is used to specify that

the borrowed Etymon is a compound in Dutch and that its components are ordered. The components of

the compound are represented as Etymons containing the salient forms as Lemma.
Figure A.5 — Diagram of borrowing and compounding of French pamplemousse
A.6 Example of use of temporal information

The example in Figure A.6 shows the encoding of the etymology of the French lexical item chef with a

focus on the diachronic stages and time frame of its phonetic development (see Reference [13]). Herein

at the level of Etymology, the process specifying the fact that chef was inherited from Latin is encoded

in the attribute type which is given the value ”inheritance”. Within the Etymology, there is a series of

Etymon items containing the temporal attributes notBefore and notAfter which are used to specify the

spans of time, and the sequential ordering asserted is that a given form of the item would have been in

use. Note also the ordering of Etymon items via the use of prev and next attributes on the appropriate

EtyLink individuals.

ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(E)
Figure A.6 — Diagram of multi-stage phonological changes of French chef
A.7 CognateSet with Bibliography

Figure A.7 shows an example of a cognate set as taken from an actual etymological dictionary source

(see Reference [19]). A number of cognate forms in related languages are given to compare to the lexical

item girl. Although the LexicalEntry is inherently part of the CognateSet, this relationship is assumed

and thus it is not represented as Cognate in the encoding.

A major point of interest in this entry is the fact that the lexical entry girl, whose contemporary English

sense is given in the Definition for the main entry, was used early on to denote a young person regardless

of gender, and therefore became subject to a semantic shift over its long period of use. Each Cognate

has an associated Sense and a Definition instance which together describe related lexical entries in

Germanic languages, all of which are hypothesised as having been inherited from a common source.

A.8 Comprehensive etymological example

In order to demonstrate some of the expressivity of the current model and its potential for dealing with

realistic examples of etymological data, the etymological information of part of a single entry, namely

[6]

the entry for the Latin word amārus ‘bitter’ in Figure A.8 , is modelled in Figures A.9 and A.10.

The entry consists of a listing of two of the word’s derivatives along with a series of its etymons and

cognates. The entry also contains a paragraph of textual commentary on the etymology of amārus (that

is the paragraph starting with ‘The suffix –arus’…); this commentary is not modelled as structured data

in the example. The original text of the entry is shown in Figure A.8.

Figure A.8 — Sample entry of Latin amārus

The modelling of this entry is presented in two parts. First is a diagram (Figure A.9) which details

the LMF modelling of the first two lines of the entry (shown in Figure A.8): the lines containing the

lemma, meaning and part of speech of the lexical entry as well as its derivatives. In the LMF modelling

of the entry, the lexical entry amārus is linked to its derivatives using the CrossREF element (defined in

ISO 24613-2). CrossREF is used as a means of modelling the attestation of a given derivation or sense of

the entry. The CrossREF individuals in question are typed as attestations using the attribute type, and

with any additional information (in this case the presence of the plus sign after the bibliographic citation

in Reference [6] means that the linguistic usage in question can also be found in later sources) added as

text using the note attribute. In this instance, the bibliographic element refers to a single author (and

therefore to their corpus of works) and the date attribute refers to the whole period encompassing their

lifespan.

The second part of the example (Figure A.10) details the modelling of the etymological information

itself (for ease of reading the elements of each of the two cognate sets are coloured using two different

colours, cyan and purple). The Cognates are each shown as belonging to one of two CognateSet elements

and the entire etymology is attributed to the source by associating the Bibliography with the Etymology

element for the Lexical Entry. Two other Etymology elements are used to describe etymologies for

Cognates included within the CognateSet. The attribute rootType is used to indicate that the form of the

etymon is reconstructed, and the attribute status to indicate a level of uncertainty.

Annex B
(normative)
Data categories for etymology description

This annex contains a structured list of categories that shall be used as possible values for describing

etymological processes, including sound changes as well as relevant lexical subfeatures. It describes, for

each category, its name, a camel case representation, a conceptual domain (for complex data categories),

a definition (with its source(s)), one or several examples (with their source(s) when applicable), as well

as some usage notes where needed.

Where applicable, the camel case form should be used in utilizing the features as a value for the attribute

type in declaring the process of an Etymology or EtyLink.

NOTE These features are not exhaustive and do not account for all the possible theoretical super- and sub-

typologies and variant definitions or descriptions.
Borrowing
Camel case code: borrowing

Definition: The process in which a lexical item, phrase or other linguistic feature from a foreign

language or dialect is introduced into a given language or dialect.
Source: Reference [4].
Note: The lexical items which result from borrowing are loanwords.
Example: Russian картошка is a loanword from High German Kartoffel.
Alternate term: loaning, importing, transferring, copying
Calque
Camel case code: calque

Definition: A loanword in which only the meaning is borrowed with the term being literally

translated into the borrowing language.
Source: Reference [5].

Example: Spanish rascacielos (rasca 'scratch', 'scrape' + cielos 'sky') from English skyscraper

Alternate term: loan translation, semantic loan
Inheritance
Camel case code: inheritance

Definition: Inheritance, although often not regarded as an etymological process in itself, is used

to identify sit

4 Extension étymologique de LMF

NOTE Voir l’Annexe A pour obtenir des exemples de typologies étymologiques possibles.

4.1 Classes Cognate et Etymon

Cognate et Etymon sont définies comme des sous-classes de la classe LexicalEntry du module de base

LMF (voir Figure 1) . Les deux classes définissent des entrées lexicales qui ont été ajoutées à une

ressource lexicale dans le but de décrire les étymologies d’une ou plusieurs autres entrées lexicales. Aux

instances Etymon ou Cognate peut être assignée une langue qui est différente de celle du lexique dans

son ensemble (cette langue est spécifiée dans la classe LexiconInformation décrite dans l’ISO 24613-1).

Figure 1 — Sous-classes Cognate et Etymon de la classe LexicalEntry

Les individus des sous-classes Etymon et Cognate doivent être en relation d’agrégation avec au moins

un individu de type EtyLink (voir 4.3). Lors de la description des étymologies, il est nécessaire de traiter,

dans certains cas, des instances LexicalEntry (et, de ce fait, également des instances de relation de

sous-classe d’Etymon et de Cognate) qui sont des radicaux, et en particulier des radicaux reconstruits.

Dans ces cas, le fait d’être un radical et le type du radical en question doivent être spécifiés en utilisant

l’attribut rootType. Dans le cas de radicaux reconstruits ou d’autres mots-formes, l’attribut status sert

à associer l’élément à une description écrite de sa probabilité d’avoir été utilisé (voir l’exemple de A.8).

Voir le Tableau 1 pour obtenir une liste d’attributs à utiliser avec ces deux sous-classes.

4.2 Classe Etymologizable

La classe Etymologizable permet de désigner l’ensemble des éléments linguistiques qui peuvent avoir

des étymologies. En définissant une seule classe englobant tous les éléments «étymologisables» de

ce type, les classes d’éléments qui peuvent avoir des étymologies pourront être facilement étendues

en fonction des besoins. Les classes suivantes sont des sous-types de la classe Etymologizable (voir

Figure 2): LexicalEntry, Sense, Form et CognateSet (voir 4.4).

1) Les schémas du présent document utilisent les codes de couleurs suivants : les classes en jaune sont

introduites dans le présent document, alors que les classes en rose l’avaient été précédemment dans l’ISO 24613-1

et l’ISO 24613-2.

ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(F)
Figure 2 — Classe Etymologizable et ses sous-classes
4.3 Classes Etymology et EtyLink

La classe Etymology permet de décrire l’étymologie d’un élément linguistique. Plus spécifiquement,

elle permet de décrire les éléments linguistiques qui sont des sous-classes de la classe Etymologizable.

Le type ou les types de processus étymologique impliqués dans une étymologie donnée peuvent être

spécifiés en utilisant l’attribut type, et aussi potentiellement l’attribut subtype (si le type de l’étymologie

peut également être précisé). Les valeurs possibles pour les attributs type et subtype peuvent varier

en fonction de l’approche théorique adoptée par le compilateur d’une ressource et/ou de l’orientation

linguistique ou éditoriale de la ressource en question. L’imbrication des instances Etymology permet de

combiner les processus étymologiques à décrire. Les processus étymologiques qui doivent être utilisés

comme valeurs pour les attributs type/subtype peuvent par exemple être: emprunt, héritage; formation

des mots: mots composés, dérivation; glissements de sens: restriction, élargissement, amélioration,

péjoration, métaphore, métonymie; processus phonétiques/phonologiques: assimilation, dissimilation,

épenthèse, métathèse, durcissement, affaiblissement, etc. La liste des catégories de données fournie

à l’Annexe B doit être utilisée en complément des classes appropriées. Un type peut également être

spécifié pour des liens individuels entre deux éléments au sein d’une étymologie (voir la description

d’EtyLink ci-dessous). Comme une instance Etymology peut être extraite d’une source externe, elle

peut être associée à une instance Bibliography, qui doit être définie conformément à l’ISO 24613-2 (voir

Figure 3).
Figure 3 — Classe Etymology

Les instances Etymology sont associées à une ou plusieurs instances EtyLink, chacune d’elles

représentant une seule phase ou étape dans l’étymologie d’un élément lexical donné (voir Figure 4).

EtyLink sert à rattacher des individus appartenant aux sous-classes Etymologizable. EtyLink est une

sous-classe de la classe CrossREF définie dans l’ISO 24613-1. L’utilisation de CrossREF impose d’affecter

des attributs id aux objets cibles représentant le contenu lexical spécifique. L’utilisation de l’attribut

id, en tant que cible, sur un individu de la classe Etymologizable permet de modéliser un tri temporel

séquentiel générique d’éléments multiples, avec les attributs prev et next. Des instances de la classe

EtyLink peuvent également spécifier des relations temporelles supplémentaires en utilisant divers

attributs temporels associés à la source et à la cible de chaque instance EtyLink.

Figure 4 — EtyLink
© ISO 2020 – Tous droits réservés 3
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(F)

Les individus des classes Etymon et Cognate (sous-types de LexicalEntry) doivent être associés à au

moins un individu EtyLink. Voir le Tableau 1 pour obtenir une liste d’attributs à utiliser avec les classes

Etymology et EtyLink.
4.4 Classe CognateSet

La classe CognateSet (voir Figure 5) est un conteneur d’ensembles d’un ou plusieurs éléments Cognate

et de zéro ou plusieurs éléments Bibliography (voir l’ISO 24613-2). La classe CognateSet est une

construction liée à l’onomasiologie. Elle contient des éléments issus de langages apparentés à celui d’une

classe LexicalEntry donnée (et donc liés par la relation de sous-classe de tout Etymon ou Cognate donné)

et qui ont été collectés dans le but de démontrer des similarités ou des dissimilarités linguistiques de

type essentiel. L’utilisation d’une classe CognateSet implique que les instances LexicalEntry (et donc

Etymon et Cognate) qu’elle contient partagent une source étymologique.
Figure 5 — CognateSet
4.5 Classe Date

Les composants d’une classe LexicalEntry et de ses sous-classes doivent être associés à une date

spécifique en utilisant la classe Date. De plus, cette classe Date permet de spécifier un nombre de degrés

de précision. Une année précise, et potentiellement un mois et un jour donnés, doivent être spécifiés

en utilisant l’attribut date et une date approximative avec l’attribut circa. Sur un laps de temps donné

avec différents niveaux de spécificité, il est possible d’utiliser un ou plusieurs attributs de date. Lorsque

le laps de temps est connu (ou évalué), ses bornes inférieure et supérieure peuvent être précisées en

utilisant respectivement notBefore et notAfter. Pour les formats de date et d’heure, l’ISO 8601-1 et

l’ISO 8601-2 doivent être utilisées.
4.6 Classe Gloss

La classe Gloss (voir Figure 6) représente une description textuelle de la signification d’un mot ou d’un

syntagme qui est destiné à être compris par l’homme. Les individus de cette classe peuvent représenter

des paraphrases ou des synonymes qui peuvent être rédigés dans la langue de l’entrée ou dans une

autre langue. Voir le Tableau 1 pour obtenir une liste d’attributs à utiliser avec cette classe.

Annexe A
(informative)
Exemples de typologies étymologiques possibles
A.1 Exemple d’héritage simple

L’exemple de la Figure A.1 décrit l’héritage d’une entrée lexicale provenant d’une langue parente,

dans ce cas l’adverbe sarde sempe, qui provient du mot latin semper. Le mot sarde est lié à une seule

instance Etymology qui est associée au type inheritance (voir l’Annexe B pour une définition de ce type).

L’instance Etymology est ensuite associée à un individu de type EtyLink qui représente le processus

d’évolution de l’étymon latin jusqu’à l’entrée lexicale sarde.
Figure A.1 — Schéma d’héritage en sarde
A.2 Exemple de processus étymologique diachronique (héritage avec
changement phonologique)

Dans l’exemple suivant, l’évolution du mot signifiant «vin» (ipa: [veŋ]) dans la variété de vins italiens

Emiliano est suivie en utilisant une série d’étymons qui sont triés et mutuellement liés en utilisant des

instances EtyLink. Ce processus mène du latin vulgaire vinu jusqu’au prédécesseur immédiat du mot

sous sa forme actuelle. Ces liens individuels sont accessibles via un individu Etymology (avec le type

inheritance) qui représente l’historique de LexicalEntry. Le tri des instances EtyLink est effectué au

moyen des deux attributs prev et next. Ces attributs ne sont pas représentés sur la Figure A.2 pour des

raisons de lisibilité, mais leur utilisation est indiquée sur la Figure A.6, pour l’exemple de A.6, et sur la

Figure A.10, pour l’exemple de A.8.

ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(F)

Figure A.2 — Schéma d’un héritage en plusieurs étapes et d’un changement phonologique en

bolonais
A.3 Exemple d’héritage de mot-forme

La dérivation des formes singulière et plurielle du nom portugais naçao ’nation’, naçao (sg) et nações

(pl), respectivement, dérivé de deux formes d’un nom en latin vulgaire (LV), nātiōnem (sg, acc), nātiōnes

(pl, acc) est décrite sur la Figure A.3. Dans ce cas, comme les formes portugaises concernées sont

toutes deux au pluriel et au singulier, l’étymon a deux instances WordForm correspondant chacune à

un nombre grammatical. Il faut notamment remarquer l’association des attributs grammaticalCase et

inflectionType à la sous-classe WordForm d’Etymon via une instance GrammaticalInformation. Dans

un lexique de portugais détaillé qui contiendrait de telles informations étymologiques pour un nombre

suffisant d’entrées lexicales, il serait possible, en opposant le contenu de l’instance WordForm dans

LexicalEntry à la classe Etymon, de percevoir les phénomènes langagiers suivants: 1) perte du cas

grammatical portugais; 2) la grande majorité de ses noms découlent du cas accusatif en LV; 3) lorsque la

terminaison singulière (accusatif) en LV était -tiōnem, la forme portugaise s’écrit «-çao» et se prononce

[sɐ̃w]; lorsque la terminaison pluriel (accusatif) en LV était -tiōnes, la forme portugaise s’écrit «-ções»

et se prononce [sõj̃s].

NOTE Cette étymologie peut être davantage articulée en ajoutant les types de processus phonologiques

pour chaque phase de la diachronie. Cela peut être effectué dans le modèle en ajoutant la catégorie de données

appropriée définie dans l’Annexe B, à la valeur de type d’EtyLink pour les phases indiquées.

A.4 Exemple de glissement sémantique métaphorique

L’exemple de la Figure A.4 de Mixtepec-Mixtec illustre la dérivation d’un premier sens à un autre par

métaphore. Dans ce cas, le mot se traduisant par ’rein’ découlait d’une extension métaphorique du mot

signifiant ’haricot’ ntuchi. L’étymologie est liée au sens rénal du mot ntuchi. L’instance EtyLink contient

les attributs source et target avec les valeurs id des composants respectifs spécifiant la directionnalité

du processus. Un trait déterminant du processus de métaphore est la nécessité d’un changement dans le

domaine sémantique entre les sens source et cible, chaque sens ayant un domaine spécifié dans le champ

de sujet. La classe CrossREF définie dans l’ISO 24613-2 est utilisée pour spécifier un URI correspondant

à l’entrée dbpedia pour chaque sens.

ISO/FDIS 24613-3:2020(F)
A.5 Exemple d’emprunt et de formation de mots composés

La Figure A.5 présente un exemple d’emprunt étymologique complexe: l’emprunt du mot français

pamplemousse ’grapefruit’ à un mot hollandais (voir les références [4] et [18]). En plus de l’emprunt,

l’étymologie montre la diachronie du processus de formation de mots qui a eu lieu en hollandais où le

composé pompelmousse a été formé à partir des étymons pompel et limoes, lequel composé ayant ensuite

été emprunté en français. Une instance CrossREF (voir l’ISO 24613-2) est utilisée pour spécifier que

l’étymon emprunté est un mot composé en hollandais et que ses composants sont triés. Les composants

du mot composé sont représentés sous forme de classes Etymon contenant les formes essentielles telles

que Lemma.

Figure A.5 — Schéma d’emprunt et de formation du mot composé français pamplemousse

A.6 Exemple d’utilisation d’informations temporelles

L’exemple de la Figure A.6 présente le codage de l’étymologie de l’élément lexical français chef en

mettant l’accent sur les phases diachroniques et la chronologie de son évolution phonétique (voir la

référence [13]). Dans ce cas, au niveau Etymology, le processus spécifiant le fait que chef est hérité du

latin est codé dans l’attribut type qui prend la valeur «inheritance». Au sein du niveau Etymology, il

existe une série d’éléments Etymon contenant les attributs temporels notBefore et notAfter qui sont

utilisés pour spécifier les intervalles de temps, et le classement séquentiel sous-entend qu’une forme

donnée de l’élément aurait été utilisée. Il faut également noter le tri des éléments Etymon via l’utilisation

des attributs prev et next sur les individus EtyLink concernés.

Figure A.6 — Schéma des changements phonologiques en plusieurs phases du mot français chef

A.7 Ensemble de cognats avec bibliographie

La Figure A.7 illustre un exemple d’ensemble de cognats extrait d’une source réelle (dictionnaire

étymologique) (voir la référence [19]). Plusieurs formes de cognats dans des langues connexes sont

indiquées en vue d’une comparaison à l’élément lexical girl. Bien que LexicalEntry fasse intrinsèquement

partie de CognateSet, cette relation est hypothétique et n’est donc pas représentée en tant que classe

Cognate dans le codage.

Un point important à remarquer dans cette entrée est le fait que l’entrée lexicale girl, dont le sens anglais

contemporain est donné dans la définition de l’entrée principale, était autrefois utilisée pour désigner

une jeune personne de sexe masculin ou féminin, et a donc subi un glissement sémantique au cours

de sa longue période d’utilisation. Chaque cognat est associé à des instances Sense et Definition qui

décrivent conjointement des entrées lexicales rattachées dans les langues germaniques, toutes étant

supposées héritées d’une source commune.

A.8 Exemple étymologique complet

Afin de démontrer l’expressivité du modèle actuel et sa capacité à traiter des exemples réalistes de

données étymologiques, les informations étymologiques d’une partie d’une seule entrée, à savoir

[6]

l’entrée du mot latin amārus ‘bitter’ sur la Figure A.8 , sont modélisées sur les Figures A.9 et A.10.

L’entrée se compose d’une liste de deux des mots dérivés ainsi que d’une série d’étymons et de cognats

associés. L’entrée contient également un paragraphe de commentaires textuels sur l’étymologie

d’amārus (le paragraphe qui débute par ‘The suffix –arus’…); ce commentaire n’est pas modélisé

sous forme de données structurées dans cet exemple. Le texte d’origine de l’entrée est illustré sur la

Figure A.8:

Figure A.8 — Exemple d’entrée du mot latin amārus

La modélisation de cette entrée s’organise en deux parties. La première est un schéma (Figure A.9)

qui détaille la modélisation LMF des deux premières lignes de l’entrée (représentée sur la Figure A.8):

les lignes contenant le lemme, la signification et la catégorie grammaticale de l’entrée lexicale, ainsi

que ses dérivés. Dans la modélisation LMF de l’entrée, l’entrée lexicale amārus est rattachée à ses

dérivés en utilisant l’élément CrossREF (défini dans l’ISO 24613-2). CrossREF est utilisé comme un

moyen de modélisation de l’attestation d’une dérivation ou d’un sens particulier de l’entrée. Les

individus CrossREF en question sont considérés comme des attestations en utilisant l’attribut type, et

en ajoutant toute information supplémentaire (dans ce cas, la présence du signe plus après la citation

bibliographique dans la référence [6] signifie que l’usage linguistique en question peut également

apparaître dans des sources ultérieures) sous forme de texte à l’aide de l’attribut note. Dans cet exemple,

l’élément bibliographique se réfère à un seul auteur (et donc à son corpus d’ouvrages) et l’attribut date

se rapporte à toute sa durée de vie.

La seconde partie de l’exemple (Figure A.10) détaille la modélisation des informations étymologiques

en elles-mêmes (pour faciliter la lecture, les éléments de chacun des deux ensembles de cognats sont

repérés par deux couleurs différentes: cyan et violet). Les cognats sont chacun représentés comme

appartenant à l’un des deux éléments CognateSet et toute l’étymologie est attribuée à la source en

associant la classe Bibliography à l’élément Etymology pour l’entrée lexicale. Deux autres éléments

Etymology sont utilisés pour décrire les étymologies des cognats inclus dans l’élément CognateSet.

L’attribut rootType est utilisé pour indiquer que la forme de l’étymon est reconstruite, ainsi que

l’attribut status pour indiquer un degré d’incertitude.
