Logos Greek Morphology
After one has:
- Selected a morph search
- Entered @ in the search argument
- Selected the morphology i.e. Logos Greek for our immediate purpose
- Selected a “part of speech”
Then the system will provide a selection menu with the options appropriate to that part of speech:
LGM: Adverb
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]adverb — A word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective or another adverb.[1]
LGM: Conjunction
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]conjunction — A word that functions to connect individual words and constructions in various ways.[2]
LGM: Article
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]No entry for article
definite article — The definite article (in English, the word “the”) identifies or particularizes a noun or noun substitute (e.g., a participle as a substantive). For example, in English the phrase “the man” has the definite article and is specific, as opposed to the indefinite article in the phrase “a man.” Unlike English, Greek has only the definite article. The absence of the article denotes indefiniteness. The Greek article has gender, number, and case.[3]
LGM: Interjection
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]interjection — An exclamation word that can stand alone grammatically.[4]
An interjection has no further morphological categories.
LGM: Adjective
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]adjective — A word that modifies or describes a noun, noun substitute (e.g., pronoun, participle as a substantive), or another adjective.[5]
LGM: Noun
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]noun — A word that represents a person, place, thing, or quality that can function as the subject or object of a verb. A noun is a word that stands for the name of something.
proper noun — A noun that refers to a particular or specific object (e.g., Thomas, Sunday), usually a person, thing or temporal name. Proper nouns are distinguished from common nouns in that the latter refers to one or all of the members of a class.[7]
The options are identical to those for an adjective.LGM: Preposition
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]preposition — A word that helps express the relationship between two or more words in a phrase or sentence. A preposition typically has an object (the noun that follows the preposition) and a referent (the word or phrase the preposition and its object modify) heads or governs a phrase (hence, “prepositional phrase”). For example, in the sentence “The man smashed the car into the pole,” the preposition “into” has an object (the pole), creating the prepositional phrase “into the pole.”
A preposition has no further morphological categories.
LGM: Pronoun
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]pronoun — A word that can substitute for a noun or noun phrase. Pronouns often refer back to a noun (the “antecedent”) that occurred in a previous sentence or phrase. Different types of pronouns include demonstrative (singles out an object; “this, that”), indefinite (refers to a non-specific person or thing; “someone”), interrogative (asks a question), personal (takes the place of a noun referring to a person; “him, her”), possessive (denotes ownership; “mine”), reciprocal (indicates an interchange between two or more things or groups), reflexive (refers to mutual participation in an action), and relative (qualifies a noun by relating it to another phrase or sentence).[9]
LGM: Particle
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]particle — A word that conveys syntactical relationships. Its meaning therefore has more to do with expressing grammatical functions than any “definitional” meaning inherent in the word itself. Particles are also known as “function words.”[10]
The options are identical to those for an adverb.
LGM: Verb
[quote]verb — A word that describes an action, state of being, or the production of a result.[11]
LGM: Indeclinable
From Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database Terminology
[quote]indeclinable — A word that has no inflected form; that is, it has no person or number.[12]
Essential Homework
- Make a chart to match the morphology you were taught in your Greek grammar to the categories and terminology used by the Logos Morphology Coding.
- Go through all the selection menus in this post and make sure you actually know what the terms mean. Not sort-of know but know well enough to believe you could tag Greek sentences yourself. If you can’t, take all your “results” drawn from morphological data as equivalent to that of an early student in the field.
