Texts
Ancient Greek is a historical language. We study its syntax from source texts, and analyze them to create analyzed texts.
Source texts
We follow the CITE architecture model for the structure of texts. In this model, texts are organized as an ordered sequence of logical units in a citation hierarchy. This model is sufficiently general to apply to any citable text, but says nothing about the contents of citable units. They could be treated simply as a stream of characters or bytes.
Analyzed texts
Analyzed texts have a specified orthography, and are organized into a series of sentences.
Our definition of sentence is semantic: it is a textual expression capable of standing alone as a complete idea. While this concept is generic, our application of it to Greek is specific to Greek syntax.
