| Justification | The GOLD ontology was developed as part of the E-MELD project
funded by the NSF (BCS0729644 and BCS0094934). The concepts were reviewed by 50
noted typologists and documentary linguists at the E-MELD 2005 workshop
(http://emeld.org/workshop/2005/proceeding.html) at Harvard University. They
have since been refined by the GOLD Community
(http://linguistics-ontology.org). |

| 2.2.2 Definition Section | |
| Definition | In grammar, a morpheme whose function is to
indicate the formal or semantic class to which items belong are sometimes
called classifiers, e.g. -ly is an adverb classifier, -ess is a 'femininity'
classifier. The marking of lexical items as belonging to the same semantic
class is an important feature in many languages (e.g. Chinese, Vietnamese,
Hopi), and sometimes quite unexpected bases of classification are found, in
terms of shape, size, colour, movability, animacy, status and so on.
