Some sort of frequency word search?

Ben Hein

Hi Friends,

I have a question about Logos 6 and I'm hoping it can do something that I'd like it to do. I'm having trouble articulating this so I hope it makes sense.

Basically, I'd like to see if Logos 6 can perform a word search for me in a given text based on frequency. For example, I'd love to see if there are any key words in the greek in Galatians 6:11-18 that show themselves in high frequency in the rest of the book of Galatians (in any tense/morph/etc.). I don't really care if the data is in a graph or a list, I'd just like to be able to do this kind of analysis.

I'm pretty sure I could do it by individual word (for example, do a search on logos in the book of John), but I'd really just like to search a whole passage or text and have it give me a list of key words in order of frequency.

Any chance I can do this?

Thanks!

Try using Word Lists - the video at http://screencast.com/t/4rzkoFDA6F7 walks through it.

This should give you a starting point.

If you are a Logos Now subscriber you have access to the Concordance which is another way of approaching this. If you have that, please post back and we can advise further.
