Playing with My Parser

I’ve been playing with my Greek parser lately and I decided to annotate a few verses of text. I did Mark 1:1-2 with a free translation. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet determined how to simply copy and paste this and keep everything aligned in WordPress, so I’ve just done a screen capture instead. I also didn’t [...]

Tregelles Greek New Testament Available

Dirk Jongkind was kind enough to come back and leave a comment letting me know that Tyndale House has now made available Tregelles Greek New Testament under a Creative Commons license. The website has a lot of great information about the text and the Dirk has already posted at the Evangelical Textual Criticism Blog about [...]

Reflections on BibleTech:2009

I intend to write about most, if not all, of the presentations I attended this weekend. But I’m going to begin with some reflections about my own, including a summary of what I said and what I forgot to say. I suppose that my biggest disappointment was that I was not as prepared as I [...]

Coming Back to Greek Voice

A little bit ago, I wrote a post about Greek voice, where I asked the question: Is there any reason why we couldn’t treat voice as derivational rather than inflectional? And a little while before that my wife wrote a guest post about agency and semantic transitivity summarizing a few articles she’s read for class. [...]

Distressing Parsing

So I’m still working on this parsing problem. I redid a good amount of work and went back to try it again and it still would not work. I parsed my text of noun paradigms and this was the result: If that’s too small the original is available by clicking on it – and yes, [...]

Morphological Parsing

They sometime say that in order to make a leap forward you need to take a couple steps back. Well today I did that. I basically restarting my Nominal morphological analysis from scratch. I’ve been having some problems with the parser returning results for a frustrating number of forms – including the Nominative Singulars of [...]

Dealing with Voice in Greek

Is there any reason why we couldn’t treat voice as derivational rather than inflectional? That is to say, what if we treated, ἐκλέγομαι as a separate lexeme from ἐκλέγω, then perhaps we could avoid the whole problem of how to represent a give verb which does not have an active form in the New Testament, but [...]

Successful Automated Parsing

This weekend, I decided to run the automated parser with what little analysis I have – that is productive noun morphology and about a third of the productive adjective morphology – hopefully I’ll have adjectives done today and I can move on to either to pronouns or the huge task of verbs. Anyway, since I [...]
