A feature matrix looks like (for example):

        [       +syllabic       ]
        [       -voice  ]
        [       +coronal        ]
        [       +nasal  ]

The number of lines varies from one feature to a dozen. In this e-mail I used individual brackets for each line, but in real work the sides of the feature matrix should have one tall bracket on each side (like the x-y example on the professor's web page above).

I'm off to study Writer's Insert > Formula features to see if I can figure it out. Meantime, if there are any experts here on how to create tall brackets on the sides of a formula, please share!

o  Go to Insert | Object > | Formula.
o  In the Math windows at the bottom of the screen, enter:
     left[ stack{+syllabic # -voice # +coronal # +nasal} right]
o  Click back in the main window.

I trust this helps.
