This text mentions some packages we have installed that can be
particularly suitable for linguistics. To get documentation about a
particular package locally you can use texdoc followed
by package name, for example texdoc forest.
Trees
There are several packages for drawing trees with different
advantages and disadvantages, for example:
ecltree,
forest,
pst-jtree
(typeset complex trees for linguists),
pst-qtree,
pst-tree
(draw trees with more than on root node),
qtree,
rrgtrees
(linguistic tree diagrams for Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) with
LaTeX),
synttree
(typeset syntactic trees),
tikz-qtree
(use existing qtree syntax for trees in TikZ),
xyling
(draw syntactic trees, etc., for linguistics literature, using
xy-pic).
In many cases forest can be a good choice. A common problem otherwise is that trees become very wide. A tree like the one here is made with
\begin{forest}
[CP [DP [D] [NP [N] [CP [C] [TP [T] [vP [v] [VP [DP] [V' [V] [DP]]]]]]]]
[TP [T] [vP [v] [VP [DP] [V' [V] [DP]]]]]]
\end{forest}
With most tree-drawing packages this would have become a lot wider,
because the two subtrees wouldn't overlap each other without a lot of
hand tuning.
The package forest can do much more complicated trees as well.
Dependency graphs
See the package tikz-dependency!Interlinear glossing
There are several packages for interlinear gloss where texts are given above each other, often for a translation, trascription or annotation.
Some are ExPex, dvgloss, textglos.
Covington (which is mentioned below) also has that.
Miscellaneous
covington
Michael Covington has made a LaTeX package with miscellaneous stuff useful when writing linguistics.
Numerous minor LaTeX enhancements for linguistics, including multiple accents on the same letter, interline glosses (word-by-word translations), Discourse Representation Structures, and example numbering.See its documentation.
tipa för IPA
tipa is a package for writing phonetics with IPA. i LaTeX. See its documentation.
