Is it possible to construct a syntax search query such as identifying all prepositional phrases by their preposition and the associated object. And then to possibly apply a visual filter filter with it.
If possible an example of the way the syntax search query would be written and maybe advise on resources to learn how to do this. I do know how to build the visual filters...thank you.
- Hi Mark- Yes, that really is the bigger question. I have run down the Cascadia Syntax Graphs which are amazing. I didn't catch the template you mention and will be running that this evening. I think your thought is what I'm really getting at. Can we build a query somewhere similar to the Cascadia search you mention and that we could use to, in the end add a visual filter...I don't see that available with the Syntax search tool...

The "Greek Grammatical Constructions" dataset labels all prepositional phrases in the NT (in the Septuagint, too). The syntax is a little awkward, the best way to go about it is find an instance of the prep + object you'd like, right click, then find the "Prepositional Phrase" label in the left side of the context menu. Search is like: {Label Prepositional Phrase WHERE Object Lemma ~ <Lemma lbs/el/δύναμις> AND Preposition Lemma ~ <Lemma lbs/el/κατά>} (you can add in object case too if you want). Since that's with the regular search menu (Bible Search), this can be saved as a visual filter. Note that "Label" searches, however, can be slow.- That's super, Rick. Thanks. I can get mostly what I want just using: [Label Prepositional Phrase] and then applying my visual filter to it. (That's good to know that is all that is needed in a Bible search.) That highlights the whole prepositional phrase, but I was hoping more to just highlight the preposition and the object of the preposition. (The search also highlights constructions with infinitives like δια το... infinitive) So, I don't know if there is a way just to search for every preposition and every object of the preposition connected with it. Thanks again!
