New Logos user: can you search by Louw-Nida semantic domains. for instance, could I search for all verbs of communication with Peter as the subject?

    Hi Dick,

    Open Search, select Bible and then scroll down to see the examples and you will fine LN. 

    You can also right mouse click on a word in a Reverse Interlinear Bible, select LN and then search as shown below:

    Technically you can't as the grammatical role of subject is only available in a clause search. Clause search terms essentially are isolated from the common Logos searches. Most people simply search for Peter in the nominative case in the same verse as the verb of communication. Note this misses any case of Peter using the indeclinable lemma. (person:Peter INTERSECTS morph.l:N?N) AND LouwNida=33.0-33.489 - you'll want to adjust the LouwNida range to meet your needs.

    If you truly need precision on the subject, I can show you how to run two queries and combine their results to get a more precise answer.

    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."
