I have seen on the Internet somewhere a very interesting Java
program.
It is an English thesaurus where words are related by lines in a 3-d
chart.
The distance between words show graphically how closely words are
related.
And when you click on a new word it becomes the new center of the
graph and
word related it circle it.
All of this is in virtual 3-d. I think it has 70,000 words.
I think this would be very interesting in Greek, of course which
Greek.

I've replied privately to Rolf, since what I said in that
email is
more linguistic than B-Greek. However, there is one item
that I
think would be helpful to those on this list. So, I've
attached
that below.

If one understands how a 'presuppositional pool' might work,
then the method of learning vocabulary through memorization
is
humorously incomplete. One should form a more complex
structure
than a list of glosses. The structure would have to be a
network
of usages which are related in a variety of ways. I don't
have
the experience to come up with the list of those ways,
though.
Does anyone happen to know where this might be discussed?
The building of the network would only be possible by
diligent
study of grammatical constructions which are semantically
related.
So, a lexicon does not quite cut it. Though a lexicon is a
start;
the ingesting of a complete lexical entry is needed to build
the
skeleton of the network in one's head. One still needs to go
beyond
that to think like a Greek.

There is no 'do' in faith, everywhere present within
it is
'done'.
