L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #177 Defining Bible Word Study corpus
Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is not inspired by a forum post but rather for my wishing the BWS was by corpus only to find it was.
Most effective word studies are conducted on a limited corpus - limited so it can be studied exhaustively. These copora may be by work, by author, by time period, by writing genre ... In Logos/Verbum one may define the corpus on the header for the Bible Word Study.
- Click on "All Passages"
- Select the desired corpus from the drop down menu
- The BWS is now limited to that corpus.
You may create new corpora through a new saved range or a new Passage list. The new copus will be available through the Logos/Verbum ecosystem.
In the passage drop down menu, enter the reference(s) you want in the new corpus.
Click on save to give it a name and use the same references across Logos.
Hit enter to save the criteria under a name and use that name as the current corpus for the BWS.
