-Information about attestation.
+In the MiMA-database, you can search for both attested and unattested patterns of manner adverbial constructions. The unattested patterns refer to those manner adverbial constructions that are not available in a certain variety and/or for certain speakers. 
+
+Importantly, if a manner adverbial construction is labeled as ‘unattested’ in the database, it does not mean that it is an impossible/unacceptable/ungrammatical pattern, necessarily. In fact, there could be variation among different individuals belonging to the same linguistic community and speaking the same language (variety), to the extent that one construction is not available to all speakers, but is to some. The ‘unattested’ label is used in the current database to signal that the construction in question has been judged as ungrammatical by our informants. Therefore, when searching the database, make sure to double-check whether a pattern is (un)attested across the board.

-Information about the chapters.
+When searching in the database, it is possible to filter the data and/or combine search criteria by specifying which pattern/grammatical category/syntactic property you are interested in.
+
+Every Manner adverbial construction in the database belongs to one or more chapter(s). The chapters identify the kind of pattern the construction belongs to, namely whether the Manner adverbial construction has the form of an adjective, a preposition, a clause, and so on.
+
+For example, a Manner adverbial like *net* ‘neatly’ belongs to the category (i.e. the chapter) of adjectival patterns (hence A) because net has the form of an adjective (i.e. *net* ‘neat’). Conversely, a Manner verb like *hardlopen* ‘to run/jog’ is listed under the chapter **V** as it has the form of a verb. In the following, you can find a list of all the chapters contained in the database with a short description of what each term means.
+
+List of chapters (in alphabetical order):
+- **A – Adjective/adjectival**: a word typically serving as a modifier of a noun to denote a quality of the thing named, or to indicate its quantity or extent (a big dog, the vast ocean, the same way). 
+
+- **Middle**: A sentence like 'This book reads easily' is called a middle construction. The middle verb (read) corresponds to a transitive verb, as in 'John reads this book'. The subject of the middle verb ('this book') corresponds to the direct object of the corresponding transitive construction ('John reads this book'). The middle construction normally requires a manner-adverbial phrase ('easily'). 
+
+- **Miscellaneous**: A word that does not belong to any of the other listed categories/chapters
+
+- **N – Noun/nominal**: One of the major lexical categories. It can be combined with a determiner (e.g. *the car*; *a car*), serve as the subject of a verb (e.g. 'Cars are expensive'), be interpreted as singular or plural (*a car*; *cars*), or be replaced with a pronoun (e.g. 'I hate cars because they make a lot of noise'). A noun refers to an entity (*car*), state (*illness*), action (*destruction*), or concept (*merchandise*).
+
+- **P – Preposition/prepositional**: A (sometimes very small) function word that can introduce an object ('box *of* chocolates'), indicate location ('*in* London'), direction ('*to* the store'), time ('*at* noon'), manner ('*in* the same way'), and so on.
+
+- **Similative clause**: A similative clause is a construction that expresses comparison of similarity, specifically sameness of manner. For example: *Mary dances (in the same way) as her mother used to dance.*
+
+- **Simulative clause**: A simulative clause is a construction that expresses comparison of similarity; specifically, it expresses a similarity relation that might not correspond to reality, but rather be more metaphorical in nature. For instance, the simulative clause 'John dances as if he were drunk' can be uttered by the speaker even in a situation in which John is in fact not drunk.
+
+- **V – Verb/verbal**: A word that can describe an action (*Mary runs*), an occurrence (*the tree fell*), a state of being (*I fear spiders*), or that can be used as an auxiliary to another verb (*another year has passed*), or as a modal (*dogs can swim)*.

+The MiMA-database consists of two main sections: the questionnaire section and the judgements section.
+
+The questionnaire section contains all the (attested and unattested – see below for more information regarding this) manner adverbial constructions that we were interested in for our research purposes, and that we presented to our informants in the questionnaires. Every example sentence (i.e. the so-called ‘question’) belongs to a chapter and may be associated with (sub)tags, which are outlined on the Manual page of this database. By clicking on the example sentence, you can:
+ - see the glosses and English translation;
+ - see which languages/language varieties display that particular construction;
+ - see which speaker(s) display that particular construction.
+
+The judgements section contains all the grammaticality judgements provided by the informants. Every example sentence (i.e. the ‘question’) belongs to a chapter and may be associated with (sub)tags. Furthermore, every example sentence is associated with an overall grammaticality score which can be displayed in counts or percentages. By clicking on the example sentence, you can:
+ - see the glosses and English translation;
+ - see individual scores based on the language/language variety.
+
+Each sentence contained in the database is glossed according to the Leipzig Glossing Rules and associated with an English translation.
