LSJMining: overview

Quarry morphological data from the Perseus edition of Liddell-Scott-Jones, Greek Lexicon.

Data in this repository

Source

The LSJMining package takes it XML data from Giuseppe Celano's conversion of beta-code Greek in the Perseus Liddell-Scott-Jones Greek Lexicon to Unicode Greek, available here.

Organization

• files in the directory sourcedata contain TEI entryFree elements from the Perseus LSJ, formatted with one entry per line.
• files in the cex directory named morphdata_*.cex are delimited-text files with morphological data extracted from Perseus LSJ using the package LexiconMining. The morphdata_*.cex files are created from hints in the TEI markup to identify seven items: a unique identifier, a tidied-up label, the lemma string in the lexicon, a part of speech, an inflectional type, a genitive form for nouns, and a mood for verbs. (The latter is not extracted from the LSJ markup, and is always an empty string in this repository.)

Code

The goal of this package is to construct a morphological lexicon formatted for use with Kanones.

The kanones function morphological data from this repository, and writes tables of stems data formatted for Kanones in a target directory. It consults a specified clone of the Kanones.jl repository to filter out stems for any lexemes already defined in the core datasets included in Kanones.jl.

The kanonesdata/lsjx directory contains the current output of the kanones function. It is created by cloning the Kanones.jl repository in an adjacent directory, and executing the following lines:

using LSJMining

src = "cex"
target = joinpath(pwd(), "kanonesdata","lsjx")
kroot = joinpath("..","greek2021","Kanones.jl")

kanones(src, target, kroot)

Other things you can do

If you want to work directly with the extracted morphological data, you can read the cex directory's files into a vector of MorphData objects.

using LSJMining
cexdir = joinpath(repo, "cex")
morph = loadmorphdata(cexdir)
