1 Tim. 1:12 1 Tim. 1:12 The Perseus people at Tufts keep working to make the LSJ Greek Lexiconuseful in ever more ways to those who want to consult it; although it’s apity that it’s not the latest in-print version with Glare’s supplement,there’s so much useful lexical information imbedded within LSJ that can begotten at via improved web tools. I thought ers would want to knowabout this sooner rather than find out about it casually while on theirnext visit to the Perseus site.>Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 15:21:14 -0400>From: “Jeffrey A. Rydberg-Cox” <jrydberg at flash.net>>To: classics at u.washington.edu>Subject: Two New Perseus Tools>Mime-version: 1.0> >I am pleased to announce the addition of two new tools to the Perseus>digital library (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu).> >The first is a Greek word collocation tool that allows readers to explore>the words that commonly occur within five words of each other in the Perseus>Greek corpus. This allows users to explore both the primary senses of a>word and also common idioms and phrases.> >A complete description of this tool with sample links is located at>http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/PR/colloc.ann.html> >The second tool is a new search facility that allows users to form complex>queries about the Greek and Latin texts in Perseus. Users can enter any>number of query words in their inflected forms. The search program will>parse the query words and find sentences that contain words derived from the>same lexical forms. It is also possible for users to limit their searches>by specifying words that should or should not be included in the search>results.> >A complete description of this tool with sample links is located at>http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/PR/search.ann.html> >These tools are the first results of our recent research into ways to adapt>techniques from the fields of corpus linguistics and information retrieval>for Greek and Latin texts. As always, we welcome your comments,>suggestions, and questions about these tools or other aspects of Perseus at>webmaster at perseus.tufts.edu.> > >Jeff Rydberg-Cox>The Perseus Project> Carl W.
