Is there a way of creating a linguistic feature matrix in Word? A linguistic feature matrix is a list of features, for example phonological features like [+voiced], [-strident], [+continuant], [+consonantal]. They should appear vertically arranged within a pair of square brackets. The matrix may either appear with a line of text, e.g.




[matrix1] --> [matrix2] / X ___ Y


or it may appear underneath another letter, e.g. under the 'C' in the following example:


C --> [matrix2] / X __ Y.


The page formatting should adjust itself to accommodate the matrix, and the text in the matrix should not be larger than the surrounding text.


Thank you!


Help would be appreciated.

See if you could use Word's Equation feature (Insert | Equation).
