Re: SV: Linguistics module and glosses

[Stig Rognes]

Hello LyX-users,

I'm using LyX 1.6.7 for a master's thesis in linguistics (syntax), and
use a lot of numbered examples with glosses. I use the linguistics
module and aligned glosses as explained on
 
<http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc14>http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX#toc14
However I miss/cannot find one feature, namely an option for
grammaticality judgments  (marked with * and ??). I want the
asterisks/question marks to be neatly aligned to left of the example,
like in example (8) on page 6 in this pdf-file:
 
<http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/gb4e/gb4e-doc.pdf>http://www.bakoma-tex.com/doc/latex/gb4e/gb4e-doc.pdf
Obviously this is possible with gb4e.sty or cgloss4e.sty (as explained
in the link above), but I'm not very confident with LaTeX and have no
idea how to get this working in LyX or with covington.sty.
Any ideas?

Thanks&  kind regards,
Stig Rognes

 I am no a linguist, however as far I as I understand the covington styles
 does not support these kinds of aligned symbols, and you have to us
 kludges to do it, or you could use gb4e and ERT. If you do want gb4e but
 can't stand ERT you could make a gb4e module for lyx... But this demands
 some understanding of lyx and latex.

 I attach a lyx file that demonstrates both gb4e and covington (using
 CTRL+space).

Attached is an alternative possibility with covington where you do nt need
extra spaces.

Hi Ingar and Jürgen

thanks for your answers. The problem is that the examples with aligned glosses
(with translation, reached from Insert-->Custom Insets-->Custom: Glosse) are
already inside a LaTeX-box (=ERT?), so the ctrl+space function is disabled.
Neither should there be a space between the * or ?? and the first word of the 
example.

However I partly solved my problem using \phantom and \emph; see attached 
example.
