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. 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. The third tool suggests possible synonyms for Greek and Latin words based on computational analysis of dictionary entries. These tools are the result of my recent research into the adaptation of techniques from the fields of corpus linguistics and information retrieval for Greek and Latin texts. Please feel free to send me comments and suggestions for improvement.
