Your very best way of figuring this out is to use the admin/analysis page. It will show you the exact effects of each element of the analysis chains for the field type you specify. From there it's just a matter of getting your head around the fact that the various filters and tokenizers can be combined in many different ways to suit your particular purpose. Be sure to check the "verbose" checkbox!
But other than the comments in the schema file, there's no source of documentation for the purposes of the field types that I know of...
