Orlando's content is structured by the unique XML tagset described in the Introduction and visualized in the Tag Diagrams. To assist in understanding Search result facets and Tag Search, this Glossary provides definitions for tags and attributes (descriptors associated with tags). Some attributes have set values. These are often explained within definitions of attributes. Other attribute values, such as genre names, are defined within the ontologies of the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory, which hosts Orlando’s production environment. Searches on this page retrieve tags, attributes, and definitions, but not necessarily attribute values.
TVOICENARRATION is available within WRITING > TEXTUALFEATURES. It encloses a statement or discussion, and has no mandatory or optional sub-elements or attributes. It addresses the question of how a story is told: who speaks (first-person, multiple voices, omniscient or unreliable narrator, interpolations, use of fictional documents, etc), and sometimes the character or situation of the narrator(s).
