CatalogueEntry
type: Class
subclass of: E31 Document
comment: idiomcat:CatalogueEntry is a subclass of crm:E31_Document and therefore “comprises identifiable immaterial items that make propositions about reality”. In this domain-specific context, it defines the specific part in a research reference book, where a graph of Mayan language is described.

ConfidenceLevel
type: Class
subclass of: E89 Propositional Object
comment: idiomcat:ConfidenceLevel is a subclass of crm:E89_Propositional_Object and therefore “comprises immaterial items, including but not limited to stories, plots, procedural prescriptions, algorithms, laws of physics or images that are, or represent in some sense, sets of propositions about real or imaginary things and that are documented as single units or serve as topic of discourse”. In this domain-specific context idiomcat:ConfidenceLevel enables to provide idiomcat:SignFunction with a degree of plausibility. The level is the result of the selection of objective criteria, following specific combination rules. The use of the confidence level enables to attest more than one sign function to a sign and makes them comparable to one another.

DiacriticFunction

comment: idiomcat:DiacriticFunction is a subclass of idiomcat:SignFunction. It assesses idiomcat:Sign with the feature of having a diacritic function. This means it is a sign, which is added to another sign and it changes the sign’s value in regard to e.g. a phonological or a semantic dimension.

Graph
type: Class
subclass of: E33 Linguistic Object
comment: idiomcat:Graph is a subclass of of crm:E33_Linguistic_Object and is therefore an "identifiable expressions in natural language". More precisely, a idiomcat:Graph is a specific, realised character, but without a assigned grapheme. A idiomcat:Graph can be assigned to exactly one idiomcat:Sign. All instances of idiomcat:Graph assigned to the same instance of idiomcat:Sign form the grapheme of the sign. cf. Crystal, David (2010): The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language, 3.

subclass of: SignFunction
comment: idiomcat:LogographicReading is a subclass of idiomcat:SignFunction. It assesses idiomcat:Sign with the feature of having a logographic reading. This means it is a sign with an identified transliteration value for a logogram.

Nickname
type: Class
subclass of: E41 Appellation
comment: idiomcat:Nickname is a subclass of crm:E41_Appellation and therefore “comprises signs, either meaningful or not, or arrangements of signs following a specific syntax, that are used or can be used to refer to and identify a specific instance of some class or category within a certain context”. In this domain-specific context idiomcat:Nickname is a sobriquet for a idiomcat:Graph.

NumericFunction
type: Class
subclass of: SignFunction
comment: idiomcat:NumericFunction is a subclass of idiomcat:SignFunction. It assesses idiomcat:Sign with the feature of having a numeric function. This means it is a sign denoting a numeric value.

Sign
type: Class
subclass of: E33 Linguistic Object
comment: idiomcat:Sign is a subclass of of crm:E33_Linguistic_Object and is therefore an "identifiable expressions in natural language". In the sense of semiotics, idiomcat:Sign is to be understood as a relation between the form or image of the sign and its meaning, where primarily just the meaning is described and will assigned to the sign explicitly. This is done by assigning a idiomcat:SignFunctuon to the idiomcat:Sign.

SignFunction
type: Class
subclass of: FeatureStructure
comment: idiomcat:SignFunction assignes a feature to idiomcat:Sign. The nature of the feature is specified by the subclasses of idiomcat:SignFunction.

SyllabicReading
