Morphology

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/627774#Comment_627774

There are quite a lot of parsing tools in Logos, many inbuilt into the original texts. For the OT, the Lexham Hebrew Bible with Morphology and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia: With Werkgroep Informatica, Vrije Universiteit Morphology come to mind.

However, I don't know of any tool that would explain the morphology of every word.

FWIW, the product page of the Analytical Key has a typo:

Nouns are clearly explained as to ticles, prepositions, and conjunctions is noted.

Lee, you also made a mistake. There is no "Lexham Bible Dictionary with Morphology", but "Lexham Hebrew Bible with Morphology". [:D ]Martin.

You can find definitions for the morph tags in grammars. Tense, Voice, Mood by Larry Pierce gives morphology data for all words in the bible. It is not available as a single resource on Logos.com any more. You may be able to get it as a part of the old ebible collections from Nelson which were Libronix format.

(Edit: I got this for my kids by buying the old Essential Study Library in Libronix format, and calling with the codes to unlock the resources in Logos 5.)

I think "Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains" is what I need for the NT but I need one like that for the OT.

Ah, the dangers of cut-and-paste while multi-tasking! [:P]

Louw-Nida, Greek-English Lexicon does not get into morphology as much as area-of-meaning for each word.

Are you looking for meanings of the words, or explanations of the morphology/morphological tags?

If you are looking for resources for meanings (lexicons), I would recommend The Complete Word Study Dictionary: Old Testament, and The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament. I find these are easy to read, and have good information for each word.

For more in-depth study of Greek: The Exegetical Dictionary of New Testament, and New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology have more information.

Mounce also has a complete dictionary of Old Testament and New Testament Words.

I'm looking for an on the spot explanation if the morph tag; when I click on a word on an interlinear I can get the lexical meaning but I'd like an explanation of the word as it relates to the morph tag in that spot without reading an entire book on grammar.

In Logos, click on Tools, and select Information.

Click on a word in the bible you are reading.

In the information pane, you will see the morphology listed. hover the mouse over the morphology tag you want to know, and read the definition from the Glossary of Morpho-Syntactic Database

Ok... It expands the abbreviation but I'm looking for something to explain those morph terms as they relate to that particular word in the verse; in Romans 6:1 'continue' is verb, future, active,indicative, first person,plural; what does all that mean? How does that affect the meaning of the word? Maybe there's no easy way out...

AFAIK there is no easy way out. What you are looking for comes from a basic understanding of the languages, which you then apply as you study the text in context.

For instance, Rom. 6:1, 'go on' or 'continue' is ἐπιμένω present, active, subjunctive (you mentioned "future, active, indicative..., I believe that is the verb for 'say'). The subjunctive tells us this is expressing possibility, present tense with the subjunctive merely indicates the aspect of continuing action. i.e. the action is presently ongoing, thus we translate it as 'remaining' or 'continuing'.

Most Lexicons will give you definitions of words. Morphological resources will give you definitions of the morphology (though general and brief). Translation takes the meaning of the word in light of the grammar/morphology, making the decision that the word for 'to remain' or 'to continue' in this grammatical context is 'continuing'.

What you are looking for really comes from a study and understanding of the grammar so you can apply that to understanding the word meaning in grammatical context.

I would suggest some basic language study tools, which are available in Logos. I like the Zondervan language resources. The Logos language videos are good, but the books can be searched to refresh your memory.

Some of your exegetical Commentaries, like the Word Biblical Commentary will offer insights into the grammar of the text.

Maybe someone else will know of a resource to fit your needs better, but this is the best I can come up with.

The easy way out is to learn at least enough about Greek (or in your Example: English) grammar to understand that. I think think Mounce's "Greek for the rest of us" might be helpful - but many Greek textbooks now contain a preliminary chapter explaining grammatical concepts.

You won't find a lexicon or grammar type resource that explains the morph of words in every verse as it relates to the meaning. Detailed technical commentaries might do so if it's relevant (such as Lenski - readable, Lutheran, a bit dated - the NTGC series - very technical - or the ZEC series - readable, newer, more technical than Lenski, incomplete).

The meaning of the word...

Beyond the contextually appropriate lexical meaning, even if you've parsed the form of the particular word(s) correctly, you'd still need to understand the syntax. And beyond that, there's something called discourse features...

Sorry, there's no short-cut to this. Some technical commentary sets like the Baylor Handbook Series do try to take the mystery out of this, but you'd still need a lot of language to begin with.

Is this tag incorrect?

I'm trying to post a screenshot from the Newberry Interlinear that says indicative... It's not uploading...

is it a file in *.jpg or *.png format and you used the paperclip icon? Since that's the only way to post screenshots that are visible in the forum. If you can't save it like this, you may paste into Word and upload the docx with the paperclip icon.
