    This group is for help with the advanced linguistic analysis search type called “Syntax Search” (https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=SyntaxSearch). If you’re looking for how to enter Logos search terms (“search syntax”) in Bible, Book, or other general searches, visit the Logos Search group instead: https://faithlife.com/logos-search.

    I found a possible link between Is 61:10, (where MT begins "śōś ʾaśīś b˙=YHWH" "rejoice rejoice in Yahweh") and Phil 1:18 and especially 4:4, where "rejoice" is repeated in close proximity, specifically "rejoice in the Lord" in the latter. (The themes of clothing with salvation/righteousness found in the rest of Is 61:10 are also found along with "rejoice in the Lord" in Phil 3:1,9.) Wondering if these were deliberate authorial Hebraisms, I wanted to search for any other examples of a Greek root or lemma being repeated within say 8-10 words in Philippians. I was eventually able to do this with a Morph Query, and possible examples are 2:27 "sorrow upon sorrow" and 3:5 "a Hebrew of Hebrews" (?a recursive Hebraism). I was disappointed to find that the Morph Query didn't provide an analysis tab. Is there a way of doing this with a Syntax search, and is there a way to get an analysis output?

      Is there a way to find all occurrences of words that are immediately repeated, such as "Moses, Moses" or "Abraham, Abraham"?
      1. Phil Gons (Logos) a month ago

        J. Gary Ellison, not a standard morph search, but a morph query document. Go to Documents > New > Morph Query and then build it from there.

        That's new territory for me. Got it! Thanks so much!

        Great tip, Phil Gons (Logos)! The Morph Query tool is incredibly powerful.

      Hi all, I'm looking for help with using syntax search in Hebrew. Context: When one clicks on a hebrew noun, and click on the word study selection, I get a screen which lists the grammatical relationships. In that grammatical relationshiops section it lists all the verbs that the noun is an object for, prepositional uses etc. This uses the Anderson Forbes resource. Am I able to do a syntax search which lists all the verses in which a given word is used as an object, have the search list (and highlight) the word in the original language (Hebrew) and then also list and hight the equivalent greek verse? Lastly, is there somewy in Logos, using syntax search to list all the verbs a given word is used with? This search would be similar to what the word study lists in its grammatical relationships section. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!

        I'm trying to construct a TSKS (granville sharp) syntax search using the Lexham Syntactic Greek NT set. Any help would be appreciated, or if someone has already done this, please point me to it.

          If you don't want to build it, you could just use the built in Grammatical Constructions data set: Run a Precise Bible Search for this: grammaticalConstructions:"Granville Sharp" https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&engine=semantic&engineOverride=lexical&form=all&kind=bible&q=grammaticalConstructions%3A%22Granville+Sharp%22&ref=default&resources=topBible&source=SearchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages

          I would be interested in designing this syntactic search (TSKS) as well to see its limitations for plural words.

          Philippe, back when Logos first released syntax searching (2006!) I wrote up something on Granville Sharp's rule and syntax searching: https://www.logos.com/media/blog/PDF/Granville%20Sharp%20Rule.pdf

        I would like to search for all NT Greek verses that have a present tense verb followed by a perfect participle. Ephesians 2:5 and 2:8 are examples. I would like to compare this pattern to any other verses.

          Sometimes Morph searches are easier than syntax searches...

          Perhaps you are looking for this? Based on SBLGNT Holmes in Cascadia Search. See the link here: https://flshare.net/o49nf3

          If you want to narrow Thomas's query to the present indicative and perfect participle, use this: https://flshare.net/a36oy9.

        I am trying a search where God is the subject of verbs within the Louw-Nida search domain 24. I tried a clause search, but it did not seem to accept LN. Is there a syntax search that would work for this — Subject: God of verbs within the LN domain 24?
        1. Mark Hoffman 8 months ago

          I'm not sure about a syntax search, but you could use this morph search: louwnida:24 AND lemma.g:θεός@NN That is looking for LN24 verbs AND when θεός / God is in the nominative, hence a potential subject. I get 66 hits in 30 verses, but a quick scan indicates that only Acts 7.2 and Heb 6.17 are what you want.
