How to list Louw-Nida words according to numerical semantic domain

I have been doing a semantic analysis on John 4:1-15. I printed off the text with the Louw-Nida numbers underneath (97 different words) and have had to spend hours organizing them in to a numerical order to see which words belonged to the same semantic domain. I had a lot of copying and pasting to do, and then had to go back in to Louw-Nida to copy and paste the Greek words corresponding to each number.

Is there a faster way to do all this? It would be great if the computer would have automatically listed all the terms in numerical order with the corresponding word/words. Thanks.

Greetings,

I can only offer you a work around if you have Logos NOW. Rather than LN, you would need to use Bible Sense categories. Below is a concordance using the ESV for the passage JN 4.1-15 sorted by sense and grouped by lemma. By selecting one of the senses it provides the lemma, then verses and English translation. If you click on the sense it will open the Bible Sense Lexicon and provide a link to the LN (broad range) or you can click on the english word and open the ESV and get the specific LN.

Perhaps working with Bible Senses will provide you similar results for your study.

Here are a few screen shots. Maybe someone else an provide you a more direct solution using a search on LN's for the passage you are studying.

Thank you. I don't have Logos Now, but if I get it, this will be very helpful.

... organizing them in to a numerical order to see which words belonged to the same semantic domain.

Morph Search @B OR @C OR @I OR @J OR @N OR @P OR @R OR @T OR @V OR @X

Analysis shows four lemmas in Louw-Nida domain 13 along with six lemmas in Louw-Nida domain 15

Perfect, that does it!

Thank you. It would have saved me a few hours, but now I know for next time.

For some reason, Logos won't allow me to export the results, which would be helpful.

I can only export the senses and the number of times occurring. Sorry, something FL needs to work on.

Exporting works in L5 and NA27 (i don't have NA28)

(see attached excel file)

8130.John 14_1-15.xlsx

Edit:

In the Print/Export window it may appear that it is not working, but on the right the export links are active and working (at least in Logos5).

Edit2: updated the Excel file and Search window image, to match KS4J's search order (by LN value)
