    <listitem>
     <para>

   <varlistentry>
    <term><replaceable class="parameter">old_dictionary</replaceable></term>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      The name of a text search dictionary to be replaced in the mapping.
     </para>
    </listitem>
   </varlistentry>

   <varlistentry>
    <term><replaceable class="parameter">new_dictionary</replaceable></term>
    <listitem>

    <term><replaceable class="parameter">new_name</replaceable></term>
    <listitem>
     <para>
      The new name of the text search configuration.
     </para>
    </listitem>
   </varlistentry>

   <varlistentry>
    <term><replaceable class="parameter">new_owner</replaceable></term>

 </variablelist>

  <para>
   The <literal>ADD MAPPING FOR</> form installs a list of dictionaries to be
   consulted for the specified token type(s); it is an error if there is
   already a mapping for any of the token types.
   The <literal>ALTER MAPPING FOR</> form does the same, but first removing
   any existing mapping for those token types.
   The <literal>ALTER MAPPING REPLACE</> forms substitute <replaceable
   class="parameter">new_dictionary</replaceable> for <replaceable
   class="parameter">old_dictionary</replaceable> anywhere the latter appears.
   This is done for only the specified token types when <literal>FOR</>
   appears, or for all mappings of the configuration when it doesn't.
   The <literal>DROP MAPPING</> form removes all dictionaries for the
   specified token type(s), causing tokens of those types to be ignored
   by the text search configuration.  It is an error if there is no mapping
   for the token types, unless <literal>IF EXISTS</> appears.
  </para>

 </refsect1>

 <refsect1>
  <title>Examples</title>

  <para>
   The following example replaces the <literal>english</> dictionary
   with the <literal>swedish</> dictionary anywhere that <literal>english</>
   is used within <literal>my_config</>.
  </para>

<programlisting>
ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_config
  ALTER MAPPING REPLACE english WITH swedish;
</programlisting>
