Comprehensive Inflection Charts

[dprickett]

I don't know if this is possible or not, but is there any way for Accordance to list all the inflections of a single verb in some sort of chart (not just the ones that appear in any text, but all the inflections)? I found this software that apparently does it (www.kalos-software.com), but for some reason the program won't open on my mac.

 

 

Thanks!

Several notes here:

 

1. Paradigms are available in many of the grammar modules.

 

2. Accordance doesn't generate hypothetical, non-attested forms (though some grammars supply them).

 

3. A lemma search in Accordance returns a list of all attested forms, which you can then view in list format by going to Show Details (the bar chart icon below the search box in Accordance 9) and generating an Analysis window. From there, you can modify the presentation by pressing cmd-t and dragging various elements into the first column, e.g., TAG). It's not a table, but it is comprehensive.

 

4. Why not supplement the paradigms with Accordance searches on challenging forms of a given root/lemma (e.g., unpredictable, variable, or otherwise difficult forms)? This would be my preferred way of studying inflections.
