Gary Pauley Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I should know this...but if I search for word frequency (uniqueness, importance, etc)...is there a way I can eliminate particles in the search? I think when I try to eliminate them with <NOT> it eliminates words prefixed with articles and thereby I lose the word altogether...I think? Thoughts?

Kristin Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hi @Gary Pauley, Hopefully someone else can give a more concrete answer, but my experience is that the tagging is not reliable to do pinpoint counts. I can't think of a specific example off the top of my head, but I am sure you've seen it too, where when you search for a key, the highlighted part is not actually the word, but the vav prefix, as well as instances of untagged lexical forms (or tagged on the wrong word, etc). So just because of this, I am not sure how accurate the count would be. That said, I think what you could do is to try it. Do the search a few different ways with a short sample text and see how it counts the prefix. Hopefully someone else has a better idea.

Yes, I do know what you mean. Thanks...I'll keep messing with it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Planche Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 not sure if I entirely understand the intention - but does using the tag @-[particle] work? <NOT> will rule out the entire verse - tried it with the following search [LXX1 =ἄνθρωπος]@- [PARTICLE] and it seems to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
