The PROIEL project has now completed a morphologically tagged and
syntactically parsed corpus of the Ancient Greek text of the Gospels, based
on Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen's electronic version of Tischendorff's edition.

The corpus is available for browsing after (free) registration at

http://foni.uio.no:3000 

There is at the moment no query interface for morphology and syntax, but it
is possible to download the raw data in various xml-based formats including
TIGER-XML for querying in TIGERSearch.

The Greek Gospel text is part of the PROIEL corpus, which contains several
old Indo-European bible translations (Latin, Gothic, Old Church Slavic and
Armenian) and some non-biblical texts. All the texts in the corpus can be
browsed, but only the morphological and syntactic analyses that have been
controlled after annotation can be seen by external users. Currently that
includes:

1. The complete Greek Gospels and scattered sentences from the rest of the NT.
2. The whole gospel of Mark + Luke 1-22 in Jerome's Latin translation, as
well as scattered sentences from the rest of the NT.
3. The whole of Mark and Luke  + Matthew 5-19 from the Codex Marianus
4. The extant parts of Mark, Luke and Matthew in Gothic.

The publicly available corpus currently contains 18688 sentences

We are constantly cross-checking and reviewing new sentences, and new
exports are generated daily. We foresee that the Gospels texts will be
available in all four languages before the summer, but we need help to
complete the Armenian.

The corpus is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution -

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
