Example numbering and glosses with linguex
Create a new example with \ex.
\ex. Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Important. A blank line must always come before an after an \ex. block.
Create sub-examples with \a. , \b. , …
\ex. \a. Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
\b. * Green sleep colorless ideas furiously.
Further nested examples are created the same way. Use \z. to close off one nesting level and go back one. This is useful in complicated definitions:
\ex.
\a. A governs B iff
\a. A is a governor; and
\b. A m-commands B; and
\c. no barrier intervenes between A and B
\z.
\b. Governors are lexical nodes and tensed I. (Haegeman 1991)
Cross-references. Use \label and \ref to refer to example numbers without manually writing the number. This is extremely useful when you inevitably change around their ordering or add/remove examples:
\ex.\label{ex:chomsky-colorless} Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
\ex.
\a.\label{ex:government} A governs B iff ...
\b.\label{ex:governor} Governors are ...
Chomsky (1957) discusses example \ref{ex:chomsky-colorless} in ...
Recall Haegeman's (1991) definition of government in \ref{ex:government} ...
Defaults when using \ref. By default, linguex will refer to a sub-example as, for example(2-b), instead of(2b), which is more normal. To fix this, add this line to the preamble:
\renewcommand{\firstrefdash}{}
Using \ex. in footnotes automatically starts numbering the examples with(i),(ii), … instead of(1),(2), … as is customary in theoretical journals.
