Vertical Dependencies ----------------------------- None .. _gtype-column-horz-dep: 3.22.5. Horizontal Dependencies ------------------------------- G_Type is dependent on the :ref:`Form Column ` and the :ref:`Gloss Column `. Generally, G_Type must have the same number of codes and ops as the Form entry on which it depends. However, this guideline is made inaccurate by two factors: 1. The coalescence of morphing gestures with respect to the second tier gesture annotation, i.e. the Form entry ``hold + point / palm`` is interpreted as two units in second tier coding, not three. Moreover, the final gesture of a set of morphing gestures is considered the sole reference point for the subsequent second tier coding. This is not a common occurrence due to the ambiguities of identifying a set of morphing gestures. 2. A ``hold`` combined with a ``cont palm``, ``cont point``, ``palm``, or ``point`` using the ``+`` operator in the Form entry is interpreted as a combination of deictic show and deictic point, or ``DSDP``. This is fairly common. As a result, the number of codes and ops in the G_Type column is related to the codes in Form, but the relation is not 1:1. G_Type codes must be drawn from the following table based on the corresponding Form code or Gloss value: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | G_Type | Form Code (or Gloss Value) | +=============================+===============================================+ | ``C`` | Form is any conventional gesture | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``DP`` | ``cont palm``, ``cont point``, ``palm``, | | | ``point`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``DP.nl`` | ``cont palm``, ``cont point``, ``palm``, | | | ``point`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``DS`` | ``hold`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``DSDP`` | The sequence ``hold + P`` or ``P + hold``, | | | where ``P`` is ``cont palm``, ``cont point``, | | | ``palm``, or ``point``. | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``E`` | ``beat`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``FA`` | ``demo`` in Form or ``take`` in Gloss | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``G`` | ``give`` in Gloss | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``R.((a|d|m)[.e|.pp]|met)`` | ``iconic`` or ``metaphoric`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ | ``S`` | ``sign`` | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ .. _gtype-column-dep-by: 3.22.6.
