Predefined tags
In order to ensure a consistent annotation of the early pidgin and creole texts, only a set of predefined tags are available to choose from. The tags serve to specify what kind of information/data can be found in the sources. The following table displays the tags which are used:
| Tag | Explanation |

| <att> | <att> can be used to mark text as describing language attitudes |
| <lng> | <lng> is used for language descriptions (grammatical descriptions, etc.) |
