Does Logos tag pronouns with antecedents?

If I wished to find references to Moses as the subject of a sentence, would Logos also find results when Moses is not explicitly named, but a pronoun is used that references him? In other words is there antecedent tagging for pronouns (such as a relative pronoun)

    yes - also implied subject of verbs

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    1. Open 2 search panels from the tool bar.
    2. Set both to Bible search and to the same Bible of your choice.
    3. In the first one, enter "Moses" (without the quotes) in the search box.
    4. Select Moses from the drop down selection list.
    5. Run the search
    6. In the second pan enter "Moses" (without the quotes) in the search box. This will look for the word Moses.
    7. Select the little blue icon labeled Moses Man, a Judge, a Leader …. from the selection list
    8. This gives you a search argument of person:Moses - this will give you everything tagged Moses.
    9. Run the search
    10. Observe the difference in the results … note the words matching the search argument are highlighted.

    You might want to take a look at "Biblical People Dataset Documentation" manual in your Library for more information. Hope it helps.
