Questions
Question (1)
I am familiar with TLG and the Perseus Digital Project. I want to do corpus linguistics on Hellenistic Greek. Some of the things I need to do is search by POS, search by Lemma, search by morphological element (reduplication, particular morpheme, stem formation, etc.) and search for collocates.
I am not sure either of the above will do all of that. I am considering developing my own corpora and using a tagger that does all of this to the corpora, as well as a search engine that will recognize what I tagged.
Do I need to do this, or is there already a selection of tools that will get the job done?
