Action

  • Action (verb):
    • ➯ A verb is the most relevant lexeme in a group of words or a sentence which is used to denote an action — this hypothesis for this preliminary of hermeneutics of action was made following my reading on the philosophy of action and the pragmatics1. A verb (@xml:id="action") belongs to a category (= <category>: TAXO) and sub-category (= <category>: subTAXO).
    • TEI-XML:
      <taxonomy xml:id="primaryData" ana="taxonomies"> 
          <category xml:id="action"/> 
      </taxonomy>     

Being

  • Being (= animated entity):
    • ➯ any character acting within one or several relevant objective and subjective variables.
    • TEI-XML attribute for Primary data Being:
      <taxonomy xml:id="primaryData" ana="taxonomies"> 
         <category xml:id="Being"/>   
      </taxonomy>       

Consequence

  • Consequence
    • ➯ how is the AE affected by the action?
    • Subcategories <category>@xml:id: affects AE (subject), affect AE (subject) and other, affect other AE(s).
    • TEI-XML example:
      <category xml:id="consequence" ana="subjectiveVar">
          <category xml:id="affectEntity"/>
      </category>       

Context

  • Context
    • ➯ in which the action takes place.
    • Subcategories <category>@xml:id — non-exhaustive listing: assembly, battle, burial, care (can be used with another context), feast, hunting, landscaping project, lawsuit, maintenance, ritual, single combat, trade, visit, wedding, unknown (unknown_C), broken context (B_ctx_C).
    • TEI-XML example:
      <category xml:id="context" ana="#objectiveVar">
          <category xml:id="ritual"/>
      </category> 

Degree of desire

  • Degree of desire
    • ➯ What is the action tendency?
    • Subcategories <category>@xml:id: from one to five (number_dD), and unknown (unknown_dD), broken context (B_ctx_dD)
    • TEI-XML example:
      <category xml:id="degreeDesire" ana="subjectiveVar">
         <category xml:id="two_dD"/>
      </category>        

Emotion

  • Emotion
    • ➯ what kind of emotion (affectivity in philosophy of action) and its intenstity?
    • Subcategories (26) from FSRE categories (24: anger, anxiety, being hurt, compassion, contempt, contentment, despair, disappointment, disgust, fear, guilt, happiness, hate, interest, irritation, jealousy, joy, love, pleasure, pride, sadness, shame, stress, surprise), to which I add satisfaction (from OCC categories) and discouragement.
      • hasEmotionIntensity <category>@xml:id: feeble, medium, normal, hight, very hight (equals a numerical value from 1 to 5)
    • TEI-XML example:
      <category xml:id="EmotionCategory" ana="subjectiveVar">
          <category xml:id="rage"/>
          <category xml:id="hasEmotionIntensity" ana="EmotionCategory">
              <category xml:id="medium"/>
          </category>  
      </category>        

Genetic sex

  • Genetic sex
    • ➯ traditionally known (or assumed by tradition).
    • Subcategories <category>@xml:id: Female, Male, unknown
    • TEI-XML example:

    • Note: the result can be seen in the lines following the current action; an explaination is given within <note>, and referenced to @ana. Example within interpretation
    • TEI-XML example:
      <category xml:id="result" ana="#objectiveVar">
          <category xml:id="death_ofOpponent"/>
      </category>

  • Role
    • ➯ of the animated entity (= Being)
    • Subcategories <category>@xml:id: active, passive, both Active (animated entities X and Y)

          <category xml:id="inside"/>
      </category>

subTaxo

    • with gloss to refer to a subcategory within transcription, <category>[3] ➞ <gloss> , @xml:id verb's “infinitive” form

Taxo

  • Category <category>[1] ➞ @xml:id TAXO: verb.contact

Semantics category

  • Verb category (= action category)
    • For the semantic type of the lexicon verb — semantics categories are the ones used by the lexical database WordNet, semantics correspondance come from both WordNet and VerbNet and for checking the relation between concept, BabelNet and FrameNet2. It goes without saying that variation of ugaritic meaning will be analyzed within the hermeneutics argumentation3.

      • Semantics categories of: bodily functions and care (verb.body), cognition (verb.cognition), communication (verb.communication), competition (verb.competition), consumpution (verb.consumpution), contact (verb.contact), creation (verb.creation), emotion (verb.emotion), motion (verb.motion),perception (verb.perception), possession (verb.possession), social (verb.social), stative (verb.stative)
    • Category <category>[1] ➞ @xml:id TAXO: verb.contact
      • Subcategories (still under development as the transciption moves forward), <category>[2], @xml:id subTAXO: i.e. attaching (for TAXO verb contact)
        • with gloss to refer to a subcategory within transcription, <category>[3] ➞ <gloss> , @xml:id verb's “infinitive” form
      • TEI-XML example:
        <category xml:id="verb.category" ana="#objectiveVar #action">
          <catDesc xml:lang="en">According to WordNet lexical database</catDesc>
