Example
A computational device that infers structure from grammatical
strings of words is known as a <term>parser</term>, and much
of the history of NLP over the last 20 years has been occupied
with the design of parsers.
Example
We may define <term xml:id="TDPV" rend="sc">discoursal point of view</term>
as
<gloss target="#TDPV">the relationship, expressed through discourse
structure, between the implied author or some other addresser,
and the fiction.</gloss>
Note
This element is used to supply the form under which an index entry is to be made for the location of a parent <index> element.
In formal terminological work, there is frequently discussion over whether terms must be atomic or may include multi-word lexical items, symbolic designations, or phraseological units. The <term> element may be used to mark any of these. No position is taken on the philosophical issue of what a term can be; the looser definition simply allows the <term> element to be used by practitioners of any persuasion.
The target and cRef attributes are mutually exclusive.
