Question regard LN semantic domains
I have been using some of the old L3 Syntax tutorial videos trying to learn more about syntax searches in the OpenText database in L4. I have been able to mirror everything in L3 in L4 for the most part. I just went through a video that showed the selection of Louw-Nida semantic domains as part of the search. In L3 there is a list of options that can be checked off. In L4 that list does not appear, rather it is just a text box. I tried using the @ sign to see if that brings up a list (like in the morphological box) but nothing happens. Does anyone know how I can get a list of semantic domains to select from?

Fred,
the list is in the LN resource. Just open it and look at the toc...
I don't think that there is anything more user friendly than that...sorry.

Thanks Robert
One more question; if I want to look for multiple domains (such as relations or kinship) for the same word, would I simply type "relations or kinship" (without quotes I assume

The link you provided is for this thread
Oops!! Dumb Me! This is the site I use for all the domain numbers, it's pretty good!

The LN domain list (eg. 9: People) in L3 was more user-friendly but severely restricted search accuracy as you could not specify a sub-domain (9A) or Article (9.3).
You have to get the information from Louw-Nida in L4 but it does permit a more accurate search to the word or Article level. If you want to search for words in two domains 10:kinship and 89:relationship you have to enter the two numbers under LN Domain - type
10 89
If you want particular words then enter the relevant numbers under LN Article - type
10.4 89.2
As you type a drop down appears so that you can select the relevant article/domain.
The OpenText use of LN numbers is context dependent in L4, further increasing the accuracy of the search, whereas L3 applied all possible LN articles to a word (often 4 to 8)!
