Thomas Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'd like to do a search that includes nouns or verbal participles that end in -y where -y is not a construct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpkang Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 If you use the asterisk wildcard character and put your word in double quotes (since the forum software doesn't handle right-to-left gracefully, I'll use y for yod), you can search for each part of speech separately, as follows: [noun absolute] @"y*" and [verb participle absolute] @"y*" Or you could put them together with <OR> to get both in one go: [verb participle absolute] @"y*" <OR> [noun absolute] @"y*" Then you can click on Details and look at the Analysis or Analysis Graph (sorted by, for example, Part of Speech ["PrtSpeech"], to see the relative distribution of this type of spelling).

Thomas Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks. I had the query items out of order.
