New Feature: Addressees in Reported Speech (Dataset)

What is it?

Addressees in Reported Speech is a dataset that labels all the places a person is spoken to in the Old and New Testaments.

How does it work?

The Addressees in Reported Speech dataset allows you to quickly locate all the places where a person, place, or thing is spoken to in the biblical texts. Find everywhere Satan speaks to Jesus. Or look for all the places Jesus prays to the Father. You can even search for every passage where Jesus speaks to the city of Jerusalem and find where he laments over its coming destruction.

Where can I learn more?

can we limit this to addresses: disciples Speaker jesus and commands on my duty to self duty to God and duty to my neighbor?

There is no specific tag for "duty" or "obligation." But this might get you close to something you're looking for:

Use the Morph search and use this search query:

@{Addressee <Person Disciples>} {Speaker <Person Jesus>} @V??M

Maybe that should be something Logos could develop? hint hint

Ah...please forgive my confusion. By "thing," I thought you were referring to the dataset in a general "that thing over there" sort of way. (Admittedly, at the time I found that a bit off.)

Let me get back to you in the morning with an example.

Addressee Thing examples??

Here's one example.

Is there any way to limit the results to a specific individual. For instance, a search for {Addressee <Person Peter>} not only yields speech addressed directly to Peter, but also when Peter is part of a group. Placing an = anywhere within the equation does not change the result.

I like the idea but think it could be difficult as each person is separately tagged as below

This gets you pretty much what you are asking for, although not in the way you were hoping for:

{Addressee <Person Peter>} ANDNOT {Addressee <Person John (son of Zebedee)>} ANDNOT {Addressee <Person Andrew>} ANDNOT {Addressee <Person Disciples>}

I did think of that method, and it may well the be only way to accomplish the task.

This is a good suggestion. We're looking into it.

Could someone explain to me why Mose talk to Aaron works

but Aaron talks to Mose not? First is the Lord talking to Mose and Aaron

Graham Criddle

The search "{Addressee <Person Moses>} {Speaker <Person Aaron>}" looks for verses where both terms are present which is true for Ex 12:3

I think you want " {Addressee <Person Moses>} WITHIN {Speaker <Person Aaron>}" to find cases where Moses is being spoken to and Aaron is speaking.

The Ex 12:3 case will still appear, however.

This is because the speech in verses 3-6 is tagged with God, Moses and Aaron all speaking. I think this is a tagging mistake and it should just be tagged as God speaking.

You're right (although the problem only begins halfway through verse 3).

Correct - thanks for clarifying Mark

And the same seems to be true in most of Leviticus 11 as well

With the exception of the tagging issues discussed here doesn't the search string as suggested give you this?

What is it missing?

This was not tagged by mistake. This is a case of an embedded speech. God is speaking to Moses and Aaron starting in 12:1-20, but in 12:3 God tells Moses and Aaron that they are to speak to the congregation of Israel. The mistake was stopping the speech of Moses and Aaron at 12:6. It continues all the way through 12:20. So, the speech event where Moses and Aaron are the agents/speakers is couched within the speech event where God is the agent/speaker.

The linguistic features that present 12:3 as an embedded speech are two fold. First, God issues a command to Moses and Aaron that they are to speak. Second, what follows the command to speak is the content introduced by לֵאמֹ֔ר. This infinitive construct introduces reported speech in Hebrew. It is an edge case though. The person of the verbs within the embedded speech does not switch to second person (you) immediately, which is a prototypical indicator of reported speech. It is add to see a reported speech with third person verb forms (they). However, it does switch to second person further down in 12:9.

I hope that is helpful as an explanation of our tagging.
