The Lexicon analyzer

The Lexicon analyzer is a combination of the parse and the gloss analyzer. When a lexical entry matches a part of the input token during the matching process (and thus becomes part of one of the suggestions), the glosses of that entry are added to the suggestions too (these "glosses" can be the from any field of the entry, depending on the tier-typ configuration), By configuring the lexicon analyzer, the source tier containing the annotations will both be parsed and glossed in one action. This analyzer requires one source tier and two target tiers.

[Note]Note

As of ELAN 7.1 (April 2026), it is possible to configure a third target column for the Lexicon analyzer. This third target can be used, for example, for a grammatical category. For all other analyzers this column is disabled. When a third target is configured for the Lexicon analyzer, the Suggestion View will display three target tiers for suggestions produced by this analyzer.
