linguex: superscript grammaticality signs

Dear all,

Picking up an older thread posted here 
(http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.linguistics/544), 
I have a follow up question. I'm trying to figure out how to extend 
the list of prefixed grammaticality signs of linguex, such that it 
also includes superscript characters. In particular, I'm interested 
in a superscripted hash sign ($^{\#}$) and a superscripted question 
mark ($^{?}$). Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Best,
Sascha.

Right alignment in examples (2)

Dear fellow linguists,

As a followup to my previous message about right-aligning in examples 
with glosses I followed Alan's and Alexis's suggestion of using gb4e and 
cgloss, but the following code will give me right-alignment of the 
(McCloskey and Hale 1984) on the translation line, but not (Irish) on 
the first (example) line. Any ideas? Thanks,

J.

\begin{exe}
\label{basic-NSP1}\ex[*]{
\gll {Chuirfidís.} \hfill(Irish)\\
                 put.{\sc cond.3.pl}\\
              \glt   `This is the translation that should appear at the 
end of the example.' \hfill (McCloskey and Hale 1984)
              }
\end{exe}

Question about right alignment within a glossed example

Hi everyone,

I am using linguex and cgloss4e to gloss examples in a text, and I would 
like to add the language of the example at the right-edge of the first 
line of the example, but because that line is glossed, \hfill (or 
\hspace*{\fill}) are ignored. Below is an example:

\exg.*Construid-a-s, el arquitecto se fue de 
vacaciones.\hspace*{\fill}(Spanish)\label{Spanish-absolute}\\
       {constructed-{\sc fem-pl}}, the architect {\sc cl} went of vacation\\
   `Once constructed, the architect went on vacation'

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to right align "(Spanish)" in 
the above code? Thanks,

J.

columns of examples #expex

Dear all,

I need to squeeze as much space as I can out of a paper, and I've got a
few sets of very short examples that leave a lot of whitespace on the
right side of the page. I'd like to be able to use that space by setting
them in two columns but, so far, I haven't had much luck. The best I've
been able to do is this, which indents the first column too much and
requires a new line between the number and letter.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{expex,ExPexGL}
\usepackage{genmpage}

\begin{document}
\lingset{glstyle=wrap,everygla=\itshape,everyglb=,everyglc=}

\pex\\
\begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth}[outer=t]
 \a
   \begingl
     \gla lam- @ dam//
     \glb salt- 9//
     \glc `salt'
   \endgl
 \a
   \begingl
     \gla \ljudge{*}lam- @ de//
     \glb salt- 8//
     \glc `salts'

$\mathit{\tilde{n}$ problem with fontspec

Hi all,

If I put a tilde on an italic character inside a math environment, with
fontspec loaded, the tilde is typeset halfway down the character.

I've tried a few different fonts, but nothing helps, except removing
fontspec. Here's a minimal example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}

\begin{document}

$\mathit{ni\tilde{x}o}$

\end{document}

Is this is a bug in fontspec?

Thanks!

Best,
Antonio

Problem with diacritic alignment in example

Hi,

I am having trouble with the alignment of diacritics under vowels using 
TIPA, both within the example environment from the Covinton package and 
in text outside of examples. So, for example, the following input

g\textipa{\textrthook{o}}l\textipa{\'{\textrthook{\i}}}

gives me a hook that is to the left of the vowels, and an accent that is 
also slightly off the i.

Any ideas? Thanks,

J.

Selecting font variants

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone else has run into this problem.  I'm trying to 
write a grammar, using Charis SIL as my main font (using xelatex), as I 
haven't really found any other fonts with support good enough for 
italicized IPA, and the language I am working on, Uduk, has a fairly 
extensive phonology such that these are necessary.

Charis SIL has an annoying feature that if you italicize a, it turns 
into ɑ.  There is a user-selected variant to remove this, but I can't 
figure out how to do this in latex.

In Openoffice, the solution to this is to pick the slant italics variant 
manually, e.g. the font name becomes: Charis SIL:1053=1, not just Charis 
SIL.  This appears to work in latex as well (\setmainfont{Charis 
SIL:1053=1}, but then for some reason all my italics disappear.

You can make your own fonts with Typetuner, to make the slant italics 
the default for instance, but installing fonts in Latex seems to be a 
nightmare, and I haven't really managed that either.

Any suggestions?  How do I get both ɑ and a in italics?  It seems like 
such a simple thing but it's driving me crazy. Italics are the default 
when quoting single words in the language you're working on, and IPA 
should also be extremely common.  But for some reason the combination of 
those two cause some problems :/

Best,

Don

thank you footnote

Hi,

I have a question about thank you footnotes. According to a style sheet I am following I am supposed to be
placed in a footer with an asterisk, but the asterisk is not seen in the text. 

I am using this environment: 

			\let\thefootnote\relax\footnotetext{Thank you all...}

but then there is no asterisk in the footer.

What I need is something like this:

			Title
			Author

1. Introduction.

This paper is about stuff and things...

__________
* Thank you all

Does anybody know how I can achieve this?

thank you.
