Example: <vAlt> (value alternation)
These search results reproduce every example of the use of <vAlt> in the Guidelines, including all localised and translated versions. In some cases, the examples have been drawn from discussion of other elements in the Guidelines and illustrating the use of <vAlt> is not the main focus of the passage in question. In other cases, examples may be direct translations of each other, and hence identical from the perspective of their encoding.

<title>A sample FSD based on an extract from Gazdar
et al.'s GPSG feature system for English</title>

</respStmt>
</titleStmt>
<publicationStmt>
<p>This sample was first encoded by Gary F. Simons (Summer
Institute of Linguistics, Dallas, TX) on January 28, 1991.
Revised April 8, 1993 to match the specification of FSDs
in version P2 of the TEI Guidelines. Revised again December 2004 to
be consistent with the feature structure representation standard
jointly developed with ISO TC37/SC4.
</p>
</publicationStmt>
<sourceDesc>
<p>This sample FSD does not describe a complete feature
system. It is based on extracts from the feature system
for English presented in the appendix (pages 245–247) of
Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, by Gazdar, Klein,
Pullum, and Sag (Harvard University Press, 1985).</p>
