Why I don't use the interactive Names of God - an appeal for votes on suggestions

MJ. Smith

Yes, this is a limitation that is built into Logos and limits the usefulness of several features, most notably the Concordance tool. The problem is that Logos assumes that a lexical unit is a "word" as defined by the spaces before and after it. Okay, that is a VAST oversimplification. An example of the problem, when I click on a multi-word name of God, I am taken to a BWS for the element clicked on rather than on the actual lexical unit - the name of God.

Suggestions related to the definition of lexical unit (word) are:

• Support multi-part words throughout the application | Faithlife
• Interesting Words Section bigrams and trigrams | Faithlife
• Add derivatives and compounds to the Lemma Factbook Entry | Faithlife

A bit of linguistic background on the issue:

Lexical item - Wikiwand">

Common types of lexical items/chunks include:

1. Words, e.g. cat, tree
2. Parts of words, e.g. -s in trees, -er in worker, non- in nondescript, -est in loudest
3. Phrasal verbs, e.g. put off or get out
4. Multiword expressions, e.g. by the way, inside out
5. Collocations, e.g. motor vehicle, absolutely convinced.
6. Institutionalized utterances, e.g. I'll get it, We'll see, That'll do, If I were you, Would you like a cup of coffee?
7. Idioms, e.g. break a leg, was one whale of a, a bitter pill to swallow
8. Sayings, e.g. The early bird gets the worm, The devil is in the details
9. Sentence frames and heads, e.g. That is not as...as you think, The problem was
10. Text frames, e.g., In this paper we explore...; First...; Second...; Lastly....

An associated concept is that of noun-modifier semantic relations, wherein certain word pairings have a standard interpretation. For example, the phrase cold virus is generally understood to refer to the virus that causes a cold, rather than to a virus that is cold.
