These are intended for use in browsing. They are organised into hierarchies. They are used to sum up the main theme of a post. Only a limited number are applied to each post. Tags are used more liberally and are meant for searching for specific topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both categories and tags are applied&nbsp; &#8220;<strong>post-coordinately<\/strong>&#8221; as we librarians say. So a post on Proto-Maritime phonology is tagged twice, as &#8220;Proto-Maritime language&#8221; and &#8220;phonology&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A search on &#8220;Proto-Maritime language&#8221; alone will get you material on all aspects of that language and a search on &#8220;phonology&#8221; alone will enable you to compare phonological material across languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tags are further used to indicate the main subordinate themes in a post. The number of tags applied to each post can, therefore, get quite large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Phrases used as categories are not also used as tags as this would generate two identical results pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Search by monthly archive has been disabled. I don&#8217;t post every month and my material is not time-dependent unlike, say, the content of a news blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How best to search this site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[144],"class_list":["post-984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-site-news","tag-search","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=984"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2838,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/984\/revisions\/2838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
