How do I use the search feature to find all the imperatives in a text? For instance… How do I find all the imperatives in the book of Ephesians? How do I find all the imperatives in Greek?
You need to do a morph search and you should end up with something like this
How do I find all the imperatives in Greek?
This type of search is done against the original language texts - so we can do them for Hebrew and Greek (and Aramaic) but not English
If the linked article doesn't give you the information you need please ask further.
@Graham Criddle - Hello Graham, Is this kind of search on the horizon for searching with Logos's AI using plain language? Example: "Search for all imperatives in the Greek New Testament"
I hope so, but currently the AI assistant in beta failed on this as it is designed to interact with the books in the library as a LLM but not use the search tools. I Currently the morph search is pretty easy to do after you understand the process, but it is definitely non-intuitive to start. I think there is a ton of room to have a natural language search that can translate into complex searches like morphological searches. This seems like it will be pretty obvious high-priority as Logos learns to implement AI.
It depends on your intent. If you want a comprehensive list, AI is not the way to go. If you want representative examples, AI could easily be on the horizon.
But what are the imperatives:-
"The Speech Acts of the Bible Dataset is complementary to the Sentence Types of the Bible Dataset. One (Sentence Types) involves formal criteria, the other (Speech Acts) involves pragmatic criteria focused on the volition or intent of the speaker/writer.
The complementary nature of these datasets can be better understood in the nature of commands. Formally, these are imperative statements as annotated by the Sentence Types Dataset. However, other types of statements can be intended as commands without using the formal structure of an imperative. For example, a mother may tell her daughter, “The stove is hot.” While formally a declarative sentence, it could be intended as a command to not touch the stove. The Speech Act Dataset is used to locate these more pragmatic usages. The combination of the two (formal and pragmatic instances) can provide a more complete list of commands or questions.".

In my Pre-Pub orders, almost ALL show as In Production, but have not been downloaded or completed. Some of these date back to 2024.In addition the dates seem to keep getting pushed back for release on several. Anyone else have some like these? I am wondering if I should just cancel them.
After reading Philippians 1:1, I was curious to find out how many times δοῦλος was used appositionally in the New Testament. I did the Syntax Search seen in the image but there are results missing such as James 1:1. How do I construct a better syntax query to get every instance to show up in my search.
I know I can send someone the docx file of a personal book I have created, so they can build it as a personal book. Is there a way I can send someone the compiled personal book, without requiring them to build the book? Alternatively, is there a way to create a group that would have access to the personal book? I would…
I want to open volume one of The Works of John Owen. I click on the Logos logo and type "Owen Works 1," but the only options provided are volumes that begin with 1, such as 13 or 11.

I am reviewing some highlights in Bonhoeffer's Life Together, DBWE 5 that were taken 7 years ago. The book has two reference systems. One is ordinary page numbers. The other references page numbers in the actual Bonhoeffer text beginning with DBW 5:1. So, for example, page 27 is also referenced as DBW 5:15. In notes and…
