http://purl.org/linguistics/gold/Vowel
One of the two general categories used for the classification of speech sounds, the other being consonant. Phonetically, they are sounds articulated without a complete closure in the mouth that would produce a stop or a degree of narrowing that would create audible friction; the air escapes evenly over the center of the tongue. For oral vowels, air escapes solely through the mouth. If some air is simultaneously released through the nose, the vowel is nasal. The quality of the vowel sound is affected by the shape of the oral resonance chamber, chiefly influenced by the position of the lips and the position of the tongue. [Crystal 1985: 330; Hartmann and Stork 1972: 253]

| gold:coda | owl:ObjectProperty | The closing segment of a syllable. | owl:Thing |
| gold:complement | owl:ObjectProperty | owl:Thing | |
| gold:directObject | owl:ObjectProperty | A direct object is a grammatical relation that exhibits a combination of certain independent syntactic properties, such as the following: the usual grammatical characteristics of the patient of typically transitive verbs; particular case marking; a particular clause position; the conditioning of an agreement affix on the verb; the capability of becoming the clause subject in passivization; the capability of reflexivization. The identification of the direct object relation may be further confirmed by finding significant overlap with similar direct object relations previously established in other languages. This may be done by analyzing correspondence between translation equivalents [Crystal 1985, 94; Hartmann and Stork 1972, 155; Comrie 1989, 66; Andrews 1985, 68,120,126; Comrie 1985, 337]. | owl:Thing |

| gold:follows | owl:ObjectProperty | This relation holds between two linguistic units and represents the inverse of 'precedes'. That is, (follows A B) means that A comes after B in the linearization of the realization of linguistic signs. The inverse of this relation is 'precedes'. | owl:Thing |
| gold:freeTranslation | owl:ObjectProperty | The relation between an orthographic expression in one language and some orthographic expression in another such that both expressions have exactly the same meaning. The words in the translation may not correspond to the those in the source expression. | owl:Thing |

| gold:hasExample | owl:DatatypeProperty | owl:Thing | |
| gold:hasGlosses | owl:ObjectProperty | The binary relation holding between an instance of interlinear glossed text (IGT) and a sequence of labels or 'grams' used to describe the morphemes of the IGT. | owl:Thing |
| gold:hasSourceLine | owl:ObjectProperty | The binary relation holding between an instance of interlinear glossed text and a linguistic unit (clause, phrase, etc.) from the source language. | owl:Thing |

| gold:labels | owl:ObjectProperty | This relation names or simply associates some SymbolicString with any Entity. | owl:Thing |
| gold:lexicalRelation | owl:ObjectProperty | This is the superclass of common lexical relatations such as synonym, antonym, etc. NOTE: this needs work. Such relations really pertain to meaning and not form units. | owl:Thing |
| gold:literalTranslation | owl:ObjectProperty | The relation between an orthographic expression in one language and some orthographic expression in another such that the translation is done on a word by word, or morpheme by morpheme, basis without regard for idiomatic usage. | owl:Thing |

| gold:prefix | owl:ObjectProperty | The relation between a morphological unit and the lexical unit to which it is attached. The LexicalUnit is usually a Root or Stem. The inverse of prefix is suffix [Crystal 1980, 281; Hartmann and Stork 1972, 182]. | owl:Thing |

| gold:synonym | owl:ObjectProperty | synonym | owl:Thing |
| gold:syntacticRole | owl:ObjectProperty | A general category subsuming relations relevant at the level of the Clause, such as predicate and subject. A grammatical relation is a role of a phrase or complement clause that determines syntactic behaviors such as the following: word position in a clause; verb agreement; participation and behavior in such operations as passivization [Comrie 1989, 65-66; Andrews 1985, 66]. | owl:Thing |
| gold:translation | owl:ObjectProperty | The relation between an orthographic expression in one language and some orthographic expression in another such that both expressions have the same or roughly the same meaning. | owl:Thing |
