schema updates #12

Open loreese opened 5 years ago

I've updated the schema to fit our new mark-up conventions! I've found some inadequacies in the parts of speech attributes as I'm marking up my chapters, so I added an "exotic" value under the @ type to make our parts of speech mark-up richer (and more accurate). I'm using it when Oriental objects are described in the possession of any English characters, and employing the @ att values of "pos" "neg" or "ambig" to demonstrate the various ways exoticization takes places in the text. Often times, oriental objects possessed by the British Empire are exotic and positive, while when outside British possession is painted in a negative or ambiguous light.

@loreese This sounds like a great question to explore quantitatively! Stay tuned....
