Joe Weaks Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, it makes for a pretty simple search, really. I know Colwell's rule has do do with the presence of an article with a predicate noun regarding placement before or after the copulative verb and its bearing on the definite-ness of the noun. Not sure which construct you'd like to find, so here are searches that would explore various instances: (Note: I don't have the most recent GNT-T module that has proper/common noun tags, so I'm guessing here.) For nouns following the verb Find articular predicate nouns following copulative verb eimi: eimi [ARTICLE nominative] [NOUN nominative common] Look for anarthrous predicate nouns following eimi: eimi [NOUN nominative common] For nouns preceding the verb Find anarthrous Predicate Nouns: ([Noun Nominative Common] eimi)<NOT> <PRECEDED BY> <WITHIN 1 Words> [Article Nominative] Find articular PN's: [ARTICLE nominative] [NOUN nominative common] eimi Do the same searches and change [Noun nominative common] to [Noun nominative proper] Also, can change them to relative pronouns to look at those. That should all get you started. HTH, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Brown Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 True, but you can search for [NOUN -proper] and should get the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
