The purpose of {\tt ling-tex} and of this partial listing of macros is to identify material which is available, and also stimulate testing, improvements to code and documentation, and so on, all with as much cooperation and assistance from the original authors as possible. The material is all public domain, but the usual requests for citing authorship, not changing the contents without changing the file name, and so on also apply. These are the results of volunteers efforts, and a desire to share those efforts with others; this should always be kept in mind. Constructive criticism, helpful suggestions, or offers of revised coding or wording are always welcome. \begin {enumerate} \item This list will be posted periodically to the {\tt ling-tex} mailing list. To subscribe to the {\tt ling-tex} mailing list, send a message containing: \begin {center} {\em SUBSCRIBE Ling-TeX "Your Real Name in Quotes" } \end {center} to LISTSERV@SHSU.edu. \item This list will be available from \ctan\ sites in the directory: \begin {center} /tex-archive/linguistics/ling-mac.tex \end {center} See Section 2 for a list of \ctan\ sites. As of this revision, I am not aware that the site is ready to receive this list. So don't be surprised if you don't find the file there, or if the {\it linguistics} directory doesn't exist at all. \item I am about to relinquish maintenance of this file to some (at this point) unnamed person, but for the time being, you can ... \begin {enumerate} \item If you don't have access to ftp you can request a copy of this file by sending mail to sa2b@virginia.edu with subject line: {\em request: ling-mac.tex}. \item To submit an addition to this file, send mail to sa2b@virginia.edu.

Author information ({\tt author@e-mail.address}). % description An informative description. % retrieval site ftp site: ftp directory or availability information \end {description} \rule{6.0in}{.01in} \begin{description} \item [avm-doc.tex, avm.sty:] %% \nl By Christopher Manning ({\tt manning@csli.stanford.edu}). Macros for attribute-value matrices. Documentation available (but not printed in this collection). \csli: {\tt pub/TeXfiles} \item [cgloss4e.sty:] %% \nl This is a modified version of {\tt covingtn.sty} by Hap Kolb and Craig Thiersch. For glosses; as with {\tt covingtn.sty}, doesn't require ampersands (\verb|&|) to align sets of glossed items. ``Following borrows from Covington's style files inspired by Midnight by M.\ de Groot, adapted to be used with {\tt gbt3.sty}: examples beginning with \verb|\ex| can contain glosses directly. Default is {\it Linguistic Inquiry\/} style with all lines in \verb|\rm|.'' No documentation, but file is heavily commented. Posted to {\tt ling-tex}; not currently available on archives. \item [chomsky.sty:] %% \nl Created by Michael Barr ({\tt barr@ ... }). No documentation; however, file is heavily annotated. Some draft documentation has been written by Ch.\ Thiele \ctan: {\tt tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc} \item [cjl-glosses.tex:] %% \nl Created by Michael Dunleavy, Carleton University; maintained by Ch.\ Thiele ({\tt cthiele@ccs.carleton.ca}). Macros for glosses (seems to work in both plain \TeX\ and in \LaTeX). Variants for centred, flush right or left glosses, and others. Some documentation; needs testing before it can be put out on the archives. Posted to {\tt ling-tex} list; not currently available on archives. \item [cm-lingmacros.sty:] %% \nl Modified version of Emma Pease's {\tt lingmacros.sty}, by Christopher Manning and Avery Andrews ({\tt Avery.Andrews@anu.edu.au}). \csli: {\tt pub/TeXfiles} \item [covingtn.tex, covingtn.sty:] %% \nl Created by Michael Covington. \LaTeX\ macros for numbered examples, glosses, phrase structure rules, feature structures, discourse representation structures, exercises, reference lists, and miscellany. Documentation. \ctan: {\tt tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/covington} \item [French Style Files:] %% \n Bernard Gaulle ({\tt gaulle@idris.fr}). French based style files offering a easy to use multi-lingual scheme to work with other languages (English and German are currently offered.) French patterns are up to date and there are a lot of test files. This package also offer a way to change your keyboard ``on the fly'' and to set your default at initex time, i.e. when creating your format. Two versions are released per year. ftp.univ-rennes1.fr: {\tt pub/GUTenberg/french} \item [glex.sty:] %% \nl Created by Rob Norris; notes from Chet Creider. \LaTeX\ macros for numbered glosses. All three lines of a gloss are input; by contrast, {\tt cjl-glosses.tex} only takes care of the first 2 lines, requiring the 3rd line, the translation, to be formatted independently. On the other hand, {\tt glex.sty} works with tabs, while {\tt cjl-glosses.tex} groups each set of word-1 over gloss-1 within braces. [Availability not yet determined.] \item [gloss.tex, gloss.doc:] %% \nl Part of the Midnight Macros set by Marcel van der Goot\nl ({\tt marcel@cs.caltech.edu}). Macros for vertically aligning words in consecutive sentences. Documentation. \ctan: {\tt tex-archive/macros/macros/generic/midnight} \item [lingmacros.sty:] %% \nl By Emma Pease, CSLI, Stanford. Macros for numbered examples, trees, AVM structures. \csli: {\tt pub/TeXfiles} \item [lsalike.sty, lsalike.bst:] %% \nl Daniel S. Jurafsky, UC Berkeley. ``{\em lsalike} style file for bibtex. It implements a bibliography format which is very close to the LSA style sheet and resembles the journal Language. Among its advantages are that it does the lovely dashed-lines-for-repeated-bib-entries that makes Language bibliographies so easy to read, and it also makes citations of the form Chomsky (1965:134) very easy.'' ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu: {\tt pub/ai/jurafsky} \item [numquote.doc, numquote.tex, enum.sty:] %% \nl Bob Mercer, U.\ of Western Ontario. \LaTeX\ macros for automatic numbering of examples. Documentation. Posted to {\tt ling-tex} list; not currently available on archives. \item [pstrees:] %% \nl From Avery Andrews; requires Emma Pease's {\tt tree-dvips} package. ``This package consists of a preprocessor and some macro-definitions, by which linguistics-style trees can be specified as convenient indented lists, with spacing and line-drawing done automatically.'' \csli: {\tt pub/TeXfiles} (a tar file) [Note: {\tt pstrees} contains files which do {\em not} include the prefix ``pstrees''; rather, the main files are ``trees.**'', which may cause confusion if one is not careful -- Ch.] \item [pstricks:] Created by Timothy Van Zandt ({\tt tvz@Princeton.EDU}). This is an extensive collection of PostScript macros that is compatible with most \TeX macro packages, including Plain \TeX, \LaTeX, \AmSTeX\ and \AmS-LaTeX. Included are macros for color, graphics, rotation, trees and overlays. ``PSTricks puts the icing (PostScript) on your cake (\TeX)!'' Documentation. \ctan: {\tt tex-archive/graphics/pstricks} \item [qtree:] Alexis Dimitriadis ({\tt alexis@babel.ling.upenn.edu}). Qtree consists of tree macros written by Jeff Siskind and a front end by Alexis Dimitriadis. These macros allow a tree to be specified in bracketed notation rather than as a series of \LaTeX\ directives, and take into account the size of the node labels when designing the tree; it is usually only necessary to specify the tree topology to obtain beautiful trees. The node labels themselves can be arbitrarily complicated. Documentation is included in the distribution file. ai.uga.edu: {\tt /pub/tex/qtree.shar} \item [tree-dvips:] %% \nl Created by Emma Pease ({\tt emma@csli.stanford.edu}). \csli\ PostScript drawing macros. These macros were originally created to draw the lines between nodes in the trees created by the tree macros in {\tt lingmacros.sty}. They will only work with dvips version 541 or later (by Tomas Rokicki available on {\tt labrea.stanford.edu}) but can be easily modified to be used with earlier versions of dvips and slightly less easily modified for other dvi to PostScript convertors. Documentation. [Formerly known as {\tt tree.tex}.] \csli: {\tt pub/TeXfiles} (a tar file) \item [treetex] Created by Anne Brueggemann-Klein and Derick Wood. Extensive tree-drawing macro set. Documentation available. See also: A.\ Brueggeman-Klein and Derick Wood (1989) ``Drawing trees nicely with \TeX,'' {\sl Electronic Publishing} 2.2.101--115. [Availability unknown.] \item [voorbeeldom.sty:] Created by Werenfried Spit ({\tt spit@vm.ci.uv.es}, {\tt spit@ific.uv.es}). \LaTeX\ document-style option which defines an enumerate-like environment for typesetting linguistic examples. No documentation, but {\tt.sty} file has commented examples. \ctan: {\tt tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/voorbeelden.sty} \end{description} \newpage \section{What's available where} \begin {itemize} \item Most \TeX-ware is available via ``anonymous'' ftp from the \ctan\ (Comprehensive \TeX\ Archive Network) sites, in the directory /tex-archive. \vspace{1pc} \ctan\ sites: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{lll} Aston, UK & \tt ftp.tex.ac.uk & 134.151.79.32 \\ % & \tt /pub/archive/ \\ Huntsville, Texas & \tt ftp.shsu.edu & 192.92.115.10 \\ % & \tt /tex-archive/ \\ % Stuttgart was the old CTAN site. % Stuttgart, Germany & \tt ftp.uni-stuttgart.de & 129.69.8.13 \\ % & \tt /pub/tex/ \\ Germany & \tt ftp.dante.de & 129.206.100.192\\ % & \tt /pub/tex/ \\ \end{tabular} \end{center} \noindent The \ctan\ holdings are too numerous to list here.
