Greek/English NT Explorer

[darrel_jw]

I can select individual books and execute and that works, but I cannot select all NT books. When I hit execute, I get the message "Please select at least one option to search"

It is not practical to load the whole NT into the grid. It does not serve any purpose I can see plus it causes a loading and scrolling lag that would be very noticeable or slower systems.

All querys are run against the whole NT by default, not whatever chapter that may be loaded. If you type any grammar term in the entry the results will be from the whole NT. The scope can be limited with a "ref=" tag in the query. i.e. ref=gal will only run the query on Galatians.

The query builder is the same. When items are checked or entered it is run against the whole NT UNLESS a selection is made in the Book Chap dropdowns. The drop downs can also display whole chapters without any grammar properties checked.

I was kinda wondering if it worked that. My only issue was how to see the lemmas and morph terms of books that were not displayed.

[darrel_jw]

I must be missing something. I do a search for "the beginning". I can display bar charts, word cloud, heatmaps, morphology, translations, and syntax tree. But I cannot display phrases. I click on each verse, refresh phrases. Am I missing something?

[Tim]

DO you get anything when you right-click on a verse in the main grid and select Phrases?

[darrel_jw]

I right-click on the reference Joh 1:1. The bar chart, word cloud, heatmap, morphology, translations, and syntax tree all display nicely. But again, phrases only displays an empty box with headers.

After suppling some sample items, I asked an AI engine to analyze LexiScope's capabilities and provide a list of features. Would this work as the basis of a User Manual along with some examples?



Advanced Query Capabilities
1. Discover all English translations of a specific Greek lemma
The program can analyze how any Greek lemma (dictionary form) is translated across the entire New Testament. Users can search for lemmas like "logos" or "agape" to see their complete translation spectrum, with visualization tools showing frequency distributions and translation patterns through Sankey diagrams that map Greek lemmas to their English equivalents.
2. Filter by grammatical categories and morphological features
Comprehensive morphological search system supporting:

• Parts of Speech: Target nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, articles, conjunctions, prepositions, particles
• Verb Morphology: Filter by tense (present/imperfect/future/aorist/perfect/pluperfect), voice (active/middle/passive), mood (indicative/subjunctive/optative/imperative/infinitive/participle)
• Noun Morphology: Search by case (nominative/genitive/dative/accusative/vocative), number (singular/plural), gender (masculine/feminine/neuter)
• Additional Features: Person (1st/2nd/3rd), degree (comparative/superlative), type (common/proper/personal/demonstrative/relative/substantive/indefinite/interrogative)

Example queries: "verb aorist active", "noun nominative singular masculine", "adjective comparative"
3. Find words based on positional relationships and sequential patterns
Advanced positional search using the "after" operator to find words that appear immediately following other specified words or grammatical categories:

• Locate verbs that come after nouns, or any word following specific parts of speech
• Search for grammatical sequences like "preposition after verb" or "article after conjunction"
• Combine with morphological filters: "noun accusative after verb aorist"
• Results display both the target word and its predecessor with color-coded highlighting

4. Analyze syntactic roles and grammatical relationships
Query system for examining predicate-subject-object relationships and syntactic structures:

• Search for subjects, predicates, and objects using role-based queries
• Find all verbs where a specific noun functions as subject (e.g., all verbs with "Peter" as subject)
• Filter by syntactic roles combined with morphological features
• Interlinear display shows grammatical relationships with highlighting

5. Identify speakers and discourse participants
Speaker attribution and discourse analysis features:

• Search by speaker identity using "speaker=name" queries
• Filter results by author or speaker attribution in dialogues
• Useful for analyzing who is speaking in specific passages or finding all utterances by particular characters

6. Analyze word combination patterns and find parallel verses
Phrase analysis tool that examines consecutive word pairs in verses:

• Identifies grammatical connection types between word pairs (subject-verb, verb-object, preposition-noun, etc.)
• Counts occurrences of each phrase pattern across the entire New Testament database
• Clickable frequency counts allow discovery of all other verses containing identical word combinations
• Supports different Greek representations (actual Greek text, lemma forms, or transliteration)

7. Cross-reference English translations with Greek morphological data
Powerful multi-dimensional search combining English and Greek data:

• Search English (KJV) words and instantly see corresponding Greek morphology
• Query by Strong's numbers (e.g., "strong=G3056") to find all occurrences
• Mix data types in single queries: "kjv=love lemma=agape pos=noun"
• Support for Greek text, lemma forms, transliteration, morphological tags, and English translations
• Toggle between partial matching and exact whole-word searches

Advanced Analysis and Visualization Features
Comprehensive Visualization Suite

• Distribution Charts: Bar charts showing result frequency across books and chapters
• Word Frequency Clouds: Visual representation of KJV word usage patterns
• Density Heatmaps: Verse concentration mapping across the New Testament
• Morphological Analytics: Pie/donut charts breaking down grammatical feature distributions
• Translation Flow Diagrams: Sankey visualizations of Greek-to-English translation mappings
• Syntactic Structure Trees: Hierarchical display of grammatical relationships
• Phrase Pattern Analysis: Word combination frequencies and verse parallels

Interactive Analysis Tools

• Dynamic Tooltips: Hover over KJV text to reveal underlying Greek words and morphology
• Query Building: Click grid cells to automatically append search terms
• Context Menus: Right-click access to chapter views, word clouds, and phrase analysis
• Interlinear Display: Customizable stacked text showing multiple data layers
• Persistent Search History: Save and recall previous queries

Data Management and Export

• Flexible Display: Select which morphological columns to show/hide
• Theming: Light and dark interface modes
• Data Export: Save query results to CSV format
• Settings Persistence: Automatic saving of window positions, column preferences, and UI settings

Sophisticated Query Interface

• Natural Language Queries: English-like search syntax with grammatical terms
• Structured Query Builder: GUI panel for constructing complex multi-criteria searches
• Boolean Operations: Support for AND, OR, NOT logic in searches
• Pattern Matching: Wildcard support with * and ? characters
• Phrase Searches: Quoted string support for multi-word queries

This program serves as a comprehensive digital tool for biblical language research, enabling scholars and students to perform sophisticated morphological, syntactic, and translational analysis of New Testament Greek texts through an intuitive interface combining powerful search capabilities with rich analytical visualizations.

As long as examples and results are included it might work. I still cannot get Phrases to produce anything.

[darrel_jw]

Is there any change on the Phrase chart yet? If you have it working, could you share the data you entered? Thanks!

[Tim]

After a fresh start of LS when John 1 is up, does anything show under phrases then?
