| Feb 25, 2015 at 5:09 | comment | added | Noktasizi | @AdamLiter Wow! That answer is definitely a good point of departure, although it anticipates my question over on tex.stackexchange.com and leaves this one open. As such, I suppose that I would consider hippietrail's comment to be close to an answer (insofar as it builds off of Tim Osborne's suggestion that no established designation exists). Thanks to those who have commented here! | |

Those packages were designed for interlinear glossing. If you really want a diagram like the one you have, then the easiest/best way is probably to use TikZ. Though not exactly the same thing, my answer to this question might be a useful place to start if you do want a diagram like the one depicted in your question. | |

| Feb 25, 2015 at 4:37 | comment | added | Noktasizi | @Gaston Ümlaut I think you're correct, and I initially looked into glossing as a solution, although the type of diagram I've reproduced is useful because it maintains the "look" of the word (i.e. no awkward hyphenation) while still showing which characters make up the morpheme. | |
| Feb 25, 2015 at 3:39 | comment | added | hippietrail | If I were to guess at a term or have to coin one myself I would pick something like "template diagram" or "agglutination diagram". Agglutinating languages generally fit certain pieces together in certain fixed orders, the pattern in linguistics is often called a "template" and the places where morphemes fit into the template are usually called "slots". | |

For interlinear glossing in LaTeX, there is gb4e/cgloss, linguex, and expex. See also this question on TeX.SX.

| Feb 25, 2015 at 2:27 | comment | added | Tim Osborne | I'm not aware of any particular designation for such diagrams. Perhaps you will need to come with your own. I agree that they are helpful for illustrating the syntax and morphosyntax of such languages. | |
