A base form of a word or term, sometimes called a lemma, is the form that is used as the formal dictionary entry for the term. For nouns, the base form is frequently the nominative singular form (in languages that show variation by case). For adjectives it is the positive form of the adjective, as opposed to the comparative, and in some languages it is uninflected, whereas in others it is the masculine singular. For verbs, it is generally the infinitive. morphologicalElement (Morphological element) The termComp elements contain the individual morphemes that comprise the term. . syllabification (Syllabification) The termComp elements contain the individual syllables that comprise the term. termElement (Term element) The termComp elements contain any other logically significant portion of the term.

It may be coupled with a target attribute to point to the entry of the full or expanded form. For example, the term WWW could have the following tag to point to its full form: World Wide Web. The actual content of the element would be the text World Wide Web, which allows the user to see what term is the full form of the current term without having to go to the location of the full form in the file (the location would normally be somewhere within the current entry, since the abbreviated form and the full form represent the same concept). The element content shall be expressed in basicText. The identification of a relation between an abbreviated term and its full form indicates which term in a terminological entry is the full form of the abbreviated term. In many languages, English abbreviations are commonly used, but the English full form may be avoided in favor of an equivalent full form in the language in question. In this case, the English abbreviation and the target language full form will both appear in the target language section of the entry. administrativeStatus (Administrative status) The status of a term within a certain working environment. The data-category administrativeStatus should be linked, through a target attribute, to a refObject in the backmatter that identifies the administrative organization that determined the status.

In the case of the values monodirectional and bidirectional, the target term is the preferred translation. The content of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value of directionality indicates the scope of directionality, and must be one of the following: * monodirectional: The translation is only preferred going from the source language (current tig to the target language (target tig). * bidirectional: The translation is preferred in both directions, i.e. the term in the target tig is a preferred translation of the term in the current tig and vice-versa. * incommensurate: The relation between the term in the current tig and the term in the target tig as translations is imperfect and should be used with care. In this case, the concepts are not equal. A should be used to provide information about the difference between the concepts. * undetermined: The scope of directionality has not been determined. etymology (Etymology) Information on the origin of a word and the development of its meaning. The element content shall be expressed in noteText. falseFriend (False friend) A term in another language that appears to be semantically or morphologically similar to the subject term in the entry, but that does not represent the same concept. For example, in French, the term réaliser means "to accomplish", and therefore, it is a false friend of the English term realize (i.e. to become conscious of). A termNote element with the type attribute value of falseFriend can also have a target attribute whose value is a pointer to a term in another entry. The element content shall be expressed in basicText. frequency (Frequency) The relative commonness with which a term occurs. The content of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value of frequency must be one of: commonlyUsed, infrequentlyUsed, rarelyUsed.

The value of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value of grammaticalGender must be one of: masculine, feminine, neuter, or otherGender. grammaticalNumber (Grammatical number) A property of a term that indicates the number of objects referred to by the term. The content of the termNote element when it has a type attribute value of grammaticalNumber must be one of: singular, plural, dual, mass, or otherNumber. For example, the terms rice and bread are mass nouns because there are no separate singular and plural forms. If the singular and the plural forms of a term do not designate the same concept, they should be recorded in separate entries. grammaticalValency (Grammatical valency) The range of syntactic elements either required or permitted by a lexical unit. The valency of eat includes a subject ("I" in "I am eating") and an object ("cheese" in "I am eating cheese".) It can thus be said to be "bivalent". The element content shall be expressed in plainText. homograph (Homograph) A word that is spelled like the subject term in the entry, but that has a different meaning, and origin. Homographs are terms that have the same written form, but are derived from different etymological origins, for example, a port for boats and a port for computer peripherals.
