Gloss

Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Gloss shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Gloss offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Gloss at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Gloss? Wrong! If the Gloss is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Gloss then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Gloss? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Gloss and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Gloss wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Gloss then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

A gloss (from Koine Greek γλώσσα glossa, meaning 'tongue' -- the organ -- as well as 'language') is a note made in the margins or between the lines of a book, in which the meaning of the text in its original language is explained, sometimes in another language. As such, glosses can vary in thoroughness and complexity, from simple marginal notations of words one reader found difficult or obscure, to entire interlinear translations of the original text and cross references to similar passages.

A collection of glosses is a glossary (though glossary also means simply a collection of specialized terms with their meanings). A collection of medieval legal glosses, made by so called glossators, commenting legal texts, is called an apparatus. The compilation of glosses into glossaries was the beginning of lexicography, and the glossaries so compiled were in fact the first dictionary.

In theology Glosses were a primary format used in medieval Biblical theology, and were studied and memorized almost upon their own merit, without regards to the author. Many times a Biblical passage was heavily associated with a particular gloss, whose truth was taken for granted by many theologians. This phenomenon occurred also in medieval law: the glosses on Roman law and Canon law (Catholic Church) created for many subjects standard starting points of reference, a socalled sedes materiae (literally: seat of the matter).

In philology includes glosses to obsolete Latin phrases that are now considered the first phrases written in the Castilian language.Glosses are of some importance in philology, especially if one language—usually, the language of the author of the gloss—has left few texts of its own. The Reichenau glosses, for example, gloss the Latin Vulgate Bible in an early form of one of the Romance languages, and as such give insight into late Vulgar Latin at a time when that language was not often written down. A series of glosses in the Old English language to Latin Bibles give us a running translation of Biblical texts in that language; see Old English Bible translations. Glosses of Christian religious texts are also important for our knowledge of Old Irish language. Glosses frequently shed valuable light on the vocabulary of otherwise little attested languages; they are less reliable for syntax, because many times the glosses follow the word order of the original text, and translate its idioms literally.

==In linguistics==In linguistics, a simple gloss in running text is usually indicated in single quotation marks, following the transcription of a foreign word. For example:

A Cossack longboat is called a chaika ‘seagull’.
The moose gains its name from the Algonquian languages mus or mooz (‘twig eater’).

A longer or more complex transcription requires an interlinear gloss. This is often placed between a text corpus and its translation when it is important to understand the structure of the language being glossed. It has become standard to align the words and to gloss each morpheme separately. Grammatical terms are commonly abbreviated and printed in SMALL CAPITALS to keep them distinct from translations. Varying levels of analysis may be detailed. For example,

Lezgian language (Haspelmath 1993: 207)

{| |Gila||abur-u-n||ferma||hamišaluǧ||güǧüna||amuqʼ-da-č|-|now||they-oblique case-genitive case||farm||forever||behind||stay-future tense-negation|}or {| |Gila||aburun||ferma||hamišaluǧ||güǧüna||amuqʼ-da-č|-|now||their.OBL||farm||forever||behind||stay-will-not|}or {| |Gila||aburun||ferma||hamišaluǧ||güǧüna||amuqʼdač|-|now||their||farm||forever||behind||won't.stay|} Now their farm will not stay behind forever.

A semi-standardized set of parsing conventions and grammatical abbreviations is contained in the Leipzig Glossing Rules.

In sociology Talcott Parsons used the word "gloss" to describe how mind constructs reality. We are taught how to "put the world together" by others who subscribe to a consensus reality — which many disciplines, Zen for example, strive to overcome. Studies have shown that our brains "filter" the data coming from our senses. This "filtering" is largely unconsciously created and determined by biology, cultural constructs including language, personal experience, belief systems, etcetera. Different cultures create different glosses.
