Phrasing in Accordance


Dieudonne

Recommended Posts

It will be great to add phrasing (some call it sentence flow and phrase diagraming) to the amazing diagram feature in Accordance. I mainly use BibleArc for phrasing, but it will be great to have it integrated in my Bible Software. 

 

I have attached a sample of a phrase diagram on Phil 1:1-8 to show you want I mean. 

 

So thankful for all you guys do. 

 

Blessings

I don't know what this is, but it looks a lot prettier than that other diagramming thing some people do.

Mounce describes this in one of his books - perhaps in his workbook for his grammar - I cannot clearly recall. It's a less grammatically rigorous form of diagramming for getting at the meaning of a piece of text, by recognizing what is subordinate to what, and what relates to what. I've certainly found it useful but have usually done it in a word processor. Strictly indentation is all that is required, though I agree that the lines and arrows are nice and clear.

 

I've not seen it applied to Hebrew but don't see why it could not be done.

 

Would be a nice little enhancement to the diagramming support.

 

Thx

Biblearc.com has a Phrasing option that would be so helpful to have in Accordance.

Biblearc's phrasing tools can do so much more than shown in the picture, and I'd simply love to have it all in Accordance. At least what's in the picture :)

Accordance's Diagramming feature will support all of these systems. (See Dr. J's Bible Study Methods, chapter 5. Focusing on the Paragraph>Analyzing in Detail (accord://read/Dr._J’s_BSM#507).

 

Explanation: With the sharp decline in the number of students knowing how to diagram sentences (e.g. Reed-Kellogg) when they entered college, a number of different scholars recognized the need for simpler sentence diagramming in the late 1980s. That includes myself, though I called it "Sentence Flow Charting." Bible Arcing, like the others, grew out of this same need, though it perhaps owes more to discourse analysis than some of the others. (My own method encouraged students to add simple interrogatives to explain the relationship between phrases.)

 

With so many different systems being taught, the team here decided it was simply unreasonable for Accordance to explicitly support any one of them. Instead, we modified the diagramming tool to be as flexible as possible, so it could be used to support ALL of these systems (We added arcs, for instance, to better serve the BibleArc aficionados.). The raw elements are all there: lines, arrows, arcs, etc., even text. However, users have to create the specific labels themselves, just as they have to remember which symbols are used to indicate the relationships. All you have to do is use them!

So this is a potential accordance version 12 feature?
