john_edinburgh Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi - I'm trying to identify verbs that occur at the end of sentences (plus clauses if possible) in Aramaic texts (largely Qumran, Targums & Ancient Egyptian Documents). I can identify those that occur at the end of paragraphs by using a graphic search, but I am unable to specify a period as a search element either graphically or as a straight syntax search. PLACE is of no help because sentences vary in length (it's easy to identify verbs at the beginning of sentences). I wonder if anyone knows a way to specify terms at the end of sentences. Maybe there is also a way to specify the end of clauses also. Going through every sentence identifying those with verbs at the end by visual inspection would be far too time consuming - there ought to be a smart way to do this.

John Fidel Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You want to use the Field command. Go to your morphologically tagged text enter the following search: [FIELD End] <WITHIN 1 Words> [VERB] (Note I set this up with a Greek Text) Then go the to the More options and select search within every sentence (or clause) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
