Searching for Attributive Participles via Syntax Search

David Fish

The structure I am looking for is both attributive structures:

1) Art, Participle, Noun

2) Art, Noun, Art, Participle

An example of the first would be ὁ ζῶν πατὴρ (John 6.57)

An example of the second would be ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα (Matt 7.13).

I am wondering which is more used in the NT, so I would like to create a Syntax search to find them, but I am stumped. It's been TOO LONG since I have experimented with Syntax Search.

I have Cascadia, OpenText, and Lexham Syntax modules.

I would appreciate help on this.

Try using a Morph Query Document.

Below is an example looking at the first case - you basically construct the elements you want as shown. Note I have set the search span to "1 Word" to ensure the words occur next to each other.

or a straightforward morph search would also do it
