Combine search keywords and morphological parameters in same search
Is there a possibility to combine search keywords (e.g. "person", "agent" etc.) and morph search syntax in one search?
E.g. I would like to search for all occurrences where God is acting in the Aorist form. I am thinking of something like:
subject:God AND morph.g:VA?M
But that does not work - neither when I enter the above search terms in the morph-search-line nor in the clause-search-line or any other (the border of search box always renders red).
I have seen a similar question here and tried wrapping the individual parts of my search with parentheses like "(subject:God) AND (morph.g:VA?M)", but no luck.
Ideally, I would love to use search keywords in a morph document search. But I did not find any way to do so. Or did I overlook something?
Any help and advice appreciated!
Try subject:God AND verb-morph:va in a Clause Search
Thank you so much, Graham! It works [:)] just realised that I could had already understood that from the post I provided.
Do you know if there is a way to insert those search keywords (such as "person:" which will not only render results that contain a person's name but also when that person occurs as pronoun etc.) in a morph search document?
Ni - I don't believe this is possible.
Is there another way to go about this apart from morph documents? I quite often want to search for a particular lemma with certain morphological parameters and some sort of grammatical-role keyword (like subject, object etc.) or even semantic-role keyword (like agent, patient, recipient, addressee). E.g.:
verb-morph:VA verb-root:λεγω AND subject:Jesus AND addressee:Disciples
I never know how to conduct such searches and usually end up searching for Lemma@... in the morph search and then sift through the results manually. But this can become very cumbersome if the result list is long...
And for your specific example, does using agent / patient instead of subject / addressee get you close to what you are looking for?
agent:Jesus patient:Disciples verb-root:λεγω verb-morph:va
Yes, this approximation is definitely better than nothing [:)] I was actually not looking for this exact search (I just made it up in order to have some example). I actually wanted to find all imperatives where God is the subject. That would be:
verb-morph:V??M subject:God
I think, I was just not aware that the syntax changes when looking up a certain morphological form in the clause search (i.e. from "@ toverb-morph:").
It would be great if FL could expand search functionality to allow all available search keywords (e.g. addressee, person, subject, recipient, agent etc. etc.) to be used in the same search if this is technically feasible? Also it would be wonderful if one day we could use search keywords in morph search docs (as I find these more intuitive to use than syntax search which always takes a long time to configure correctly).
Thank you for all help, Graham!
