Abstract: It is shown how the the introduction of a suitably defined dilatonic auxiliary field, $Phi$ say, makes it possible for the non-linear Lagrangian for a generic elastic string model, of the kind appropriate for representing superconducting cosmic strings, to be converted into a standardised form as the sum of a kinetic term that is just homogeneously quadratic in the relevant scalar phase gradient (as in a simple linear model) together with a potential energy term, $V$ say, that is specified as a generically non-linear function of $Phi$. The explicit form of this function is derived for various noteworthy examples, of which the most memorable is that of the transonic string model, as characterised by a given mass scale, $m$ say, for which this potential energy density will be expressible in terms of the zero current limit value $Ph{i}_{{}_0}$ of $Phi$ by $$.
