I'm looking for more info on what Sean Boisen was talking about in the livestream this morning with new lexical work, but I'm not finding any mention of it on the website. I think whatever it was, they had completed the Greek, and the Hebrew (OT) work was forthcoming. I know it's there (a video or something), but must not be making the connection with what they are advertising as the new features.
Thanks!
Hi David.
Sean was talking about the "Lexham Research Lexicons." We have volumes for the Greek NT, Hebrew Bible, Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Bible, and LXX.
On these, I wrote a short post for my own personal blog that might be helpful: https://rickbrannan.com/2020/10/26/logos-9-lexham-research-lexicons/

Very excited to have these, Rick. Thanks for all the hard work!
Thanks much, Rick! Very excited.
On a similar note, where can we find more about the Greek Grammar Ontology resource?
The product page doesn't give me enough info to determine if it's worthwhile to me.

Thanks abondservant.
This resource gives a basic definition of various grammatical terms and concepts, then links to the relevant portions of the resources I already own?

Yes, it links to 260 grammatical concepts across about a dozen of the most important Greek grammars in Logos. From the Introduction:
The Greek Grammar Ontology does for Greek grammars what the Biblereference system has done for commentaries, journals, and otherbiblical studies resources: it links directly to relevant discussionsof a linguistic topic in multiple grammars.
The Greek Grammar Ontology is a resource that organizes content frommany Greek grammars into a structured hierarchy with standardizedconcepts (an ontology). It can be time consuming, even with the helpof Logos Editions, to make a study of Greek when consulting grammars.Even with the most organized grammars, content can be spread acrossseveral sections of the resource. For example, information on thedefinite article may have its own section in a grammar, but can alsooccur within sections discussing the infinitive, the participle,substantives, etc. The Grammar Ontology collects all the contentassociated with a grammatical concept into one place. If a grammar hassomething to say on the definite article, it can be found in thecorresponding section of the Grammar Ontology.
The ontology itself is a hierarchical categorization of thegrammatical topics in Greek grammar. The hierarchy captures the topicinterrelationships in a tree-like structure, with more general conceptsat the top, and more specific concepts below them.
In addition to the hierarchy, the Greek Grammar Ontology provides abrief definition for each grammatical concept, based on a broadlinguistic perspective. In some cases, Greek-specificinformation is provided in a definition, but even these are intended tobe broad and introductory. There are also annotations of resourcesthat provide more definitions or encyclopedic information about theconcept.
Thank you Sean and abondservant. You both have given me helpful information in my purchasing decision.
