joelmadasu Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Is there a criteria, or a search method to figure out word order in Biblical Hebrew? Or any resources that might help with this? I really want to find the word order for the clauses that contain the particles יש and אין. Please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Please explain what you are looking for. These words are usually followed by a noun. Is that what you want to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelmadasu Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 I want to find out If these particles appear in a SVO or VSO or other word orders. Is there a way to figure this with a construct search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 If you own the Syntax you can search for subject and object. The Analysis will let you see the part of speech of each item in the hit phrase (using the columns in Set display), but it won't tell you how many times a particular order appears. For that you would need to run separate searches for each combination you were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Holmstedt Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Not really possible, at least easily. For example, sometimes אין is a negative copula whereas other times it is a negator (not copula). In my opinion, the simplest thing to do would be a simple search for them all and then actually read the context to make your own analysis. And, if this is for serious research, analyzing all the examples yourself is what you ought to do anyway, even if such a search were simple with our syntax database. --- To clarify -- my comment was specifically about looking for word order in אין and ישׁ clauses. --- Edited September 17, 2014 by Robert Holmstedt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelmadasu Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thank you for your comments! Yes, this is for my dissertation. But I thought I would try with Accordance first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
