= Introduction

Interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses are common in linguistic texts to give
information about the meanings of individual words and morphemes in the
language being studied. A set of conventions called the *Leipzig Glossing Rules*
was developed to give linguists a general set of standards and principles for
how to format these glosses. The most recent version of these rules can be
found in pdf form at
#link("https://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/pdf/Glossing-Rules.pdf")[this link],
provided by the Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology.

There is a staggering variety of LaTex packages designed to properly align and
format glosses (including `gb4e`, `ling-macros`, `linguex`, `expex`, and
probably even more). These modules vary in the complexity of their syntax and
the amount of control they give to the user of various aspects of formatting.
The `typst-leipzig-glossing` module is designed to provide utilities for
creating aligned Leipzig-style glosses in Typst, while keeping the syntax as
intuitive as possible and allowing users as much control over how their glosses
look as is feasible.

This pdf will show examples of the module's functionality and detail relevant
parameters. For more information or to inform devs of a bug or other issue,

= Basic glossing functionality


As a first example, here is a gloss of a text in Georgian, along with the Typst code used to generate it:


#gloss(
    header_text: [from "Georgian and the Unaccusative Hypothesis", Alice Harris, 1982],
    source_text: ([ბავშვ-ი], [ატირდა]),
    transliteration: ([bavšv-i], [aṭirda]),
    morphemes: ([child-#smallcaps[nom]], [3S/cry/#smallcaps[incho]/II]),
    translation: [The child burst out crying],
)

#codeblock[
```typst
#gloss(
    header_text: [from "Georgian and the Unaccusative Hypothesis", Alice Harris, 1982],
    source_text: ([ბავშვ-ი], [ატირდა]),
    transliteration: ([bavšv-i], [aṭirda]),
    morphemes: ([child-#smallcaps[nom]], [3S/cry/#smallcaps[incho]/II]),
    translation: [The child burst out crying],
)
```
]

/*
#gloss(
    source_text: ([გვ-ფრცქვნ-ი],),
    source_text_style: none,
    transliteration: ([gv-prtskvn-i],),
    morphemes: ([1#pl.#obj\-peel-#fmnt],),
    translation: "You peeled us",
)

#codeblock[
```typst
#import "linguistic-abbreviations.typ": *

#gloss(
    source_text: ([გვ-ფრცქვნ-ი],),
    source_text_style: none,
    transliteration: ([gv-prtskvn-i],),
    morphemes: ([1#pl.#obj\-peel-#fmnt],),
    translation: "You peeled us",
```)]
*/

And an example for English that exhibits some additional styling:

#gloss(
  source_text: ([I'm], [eat-ing], [your], [head]),
  source_text_style: (item) => text(fill: red)[#item],
  morphemes: ([1#sg.#sbj\=to.be], [eat-#prog], [2#sg.#pos], [head]),
  morphemes_style: text.with(fill: blue),
  translation: text(weight: "semibold")[I'm eating your head!],
)

#codeblock(
[```typst
#gloss(
  source_text: ([I'm], [eat-ing], [your], [head]),
  source_text_style: (item) => text(fill: red)[#item],
  morphemes: ([1#sg.#subj\=to.be], [eat-#prog], [2#sg.#pos], [head]),
  morphemes_style: text.with(fill: blue),
  translation: text(weight: "semibold")[I'm eating your head!],
)
```])


The `#gloss` function has three pre-defined parameters for glossing levels:
`source_text`, `transliteration`, and `morphemes`. It also has two parameters
for unaligned text: `header_text` for text that precedes the gloss, and
`translation` for text that follows the gloss.

If one wishes to add more than three glossing lines, there is an additional
parameter `gloss_lines` that can take a list of arbitrarily many more glossing
lines, which will appear below those specified in the aforementioned
parameters:

/*
#gloss(
    header_text: [Hunzib (van den Berg 1995:46)],
    source_text: ([ождиг],[хо#super[н]хе],[мукъер]),
    transliteration: ([oʒdig],[χõχe],[muqʼer]),
    morphemes: ([ož-di-g],[xõxe],[m-uq'e-r]),
    gloss_lines: (
        ([boy-#smallcaps[obl]-#smallcaps[ad]], [tree(#smallcaps[g4])], [#smallcaps[g4]-bend-#smallcaps[pret]]),
        ([at boy], [tree], [bent]),
    ),
    translation: ["Because of the boy, the tree bent."]
)
*/
