Linguistic examples cannot be "available" as ASCII
text. ASCII text has no diacritics, for instance.

Of course they can, just as mathematical examples can. For
instance, in math mode the string '\alpha_j' generates a
lower-case alpha with a subscript 'j'.

That's typing 8 characters rather than 2 plus two formatting clicks.

The question was whether they were *available*. And some of
us would rather keep our hands on the keyboard than use a
mouse, even if it means typing a few extra characters.

I'm one of them. That's why I like the _italic_ shortcut. If I used
subscripts, I could easily assign a keyboard shortcut for them. There's
probably also one for switching in and out of Symbol font.
