SESB 3.0 Contituency Tree Analysis?

Eric Weiss

A feature of the 52 vol. SESB 3.0 edition that the 18 vol. edition lacks is:

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: Workgroep Informatica Constituency Tree Analysis

What is this Constituency Tree Analysis, and does Logos have something similar already?

Also: I understand it's not yet ready for Logos 4, but an upgrade will be coming at some point, correct?

For those of you who have the 52 vol. set and use this in Libronix, what does it do differently compared to some of the syntax functions that Logos 4 has? I.e., why would a person want this in addition to what Logos already offers for BHS analysis?

The Constituency Tree Analysis in the SESB is something like, The Hebrew Bible: Anderson-Forbes Phrase Marker analysis (in the OL base-package) However, the Layout and philosophy behind it is different from the Arnderson-Forbes. If, you'd like to the see the trees well as the WIVU syntactical database in action watch the following two videos:

In Logos4 one can already open and view the Constituency Tree Analysis, but one is not able to run queries on the WIVU syntactical database of the BHS. Please, note that the WIVU syntactical base is similarly named to the  WIVU morphological database but those two should not be confused.

Yes, there will be upgrades coming to users who have licensed the SESB, and those upgrades will be made downloadable through the website here. It is most likely that those downloads will be automated in the same way that Logos updates it's self to fix typos.

If, you are already happy with what you have then there is no need for anything else, but the WIVU does offer a different perspective on the texts and is the result of (now) over 30 years of work.
