In addition to the grammatical categories discussed in section 4, it is also useful to tag words in FirstVoices with categories that describe the meaning that a word has. For example, if you enter the word for dog, you will want to tag it with the categories “Animal” and “Mammal”. Below are examples of potential categories. Language Administrators can add custom categories to your FirstVoices language site. More information on how to do that can be found here: /wiki/spaces/FIR1/pages/1705993
