What is Interlinear text?
'''Interlinear text''' is text on several lines where additional lines give [[explanations]] of the main text. That can be a [[transliteration]] or a [[translation]] of each word of the main line ([[literal translation]]) or a [[free translation]] of the entire main text line. Interlinear text is usually used to translate or explain the main text. It is used frequently in foreign [[language]] learning material and [[Linguistics|linguistic]] literature. [[Latin]] [[Textbook|text books]] and [[Greek language|Greek]] or [[Hebrew Bible]]s with interlinears are common examples. ==Related pages== *[[Literal translation]] ==Other websites== * [http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/mat1.pdf Example of interlinear text (Matthew) (pdf)] * [http://emeld.org/school/classroom/text/standards.html Interlinear Glossed Text Standards] (E-MELD) * [http://emeld.org/school/classroom/text/levels.html Interlinear Glossed Text Levels] (E-MELD) * [http://emeld.org/workshop/2003/bowbadenbird-paper.pdf Toward a General Model of Interlinear Text] (E-MELD) * [http://www.uni-erfurt.de/sprachwissenschaft/personal/lehmann/CL_Publ/IMG.pdf Interlinear Morphemic Glosses] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070710065308/http://www.uni-erfurt.de/sprachwissenschaft/personal/lehmann/CL_Publ/IMG.PDF |date=2007-07-10 }} * [http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/files/morpheme.html The Leipzig Glossing Rules: Conventions for interlinear morpheme-by-morpheme glosses] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514123607/http://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/files/morpheme.html |date=2011-05-14 }} * [http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/Greek_Index.htm Online Interlinear of Biblical Greek Scriptures (New Testament) text - Requires Adobe Acrobat] {{stub}} [[Category:Language education]]
