Syntax trees, morphology, and linguistic annotations for the Greek New Testament

This repository contains the MACULA linguistic datasets for the Greek New Testament, including data from:

1. Nestle1904 Greek New Testament, edited by Eberhard Nestle, published in 1904 by the British and Foreign Bible Society. Transcription by Diego Santos, morphology by Ulrik Sandborg-Petersen, markup by Jonathan Robie.
2. SBLGNT from Logos Bible Software; specifically, the data including the pericope adulturae from their commit on July 10, 2023.
3. Syntax trees developed by Clear Bible, Inc.
4. English glosses from the Berean Study Bible
5. Word sense data from the United Bible Societies MARBLE project, based on Louw & Nida's semantic domains.
6. Semantic roles: Who does what to whom? (Agent, Verb, Patient …)
7. Participant referents: Who is “he,” “she,” or “it” in this sentence?

We are adding further datasets, one at a time.

This data has been combined into a single set of trees. There are three variants of this data, found in the following directories:

1. tei contains the New Testament text itself in a format that can easily be formatted for readability.
2. nodes contains this data in a set of nested Node elements suitable for many NLP systems and other systems that use recursive algorithms.
3. lowfat contains the same data in a form more suitable for some kinds of query systems and some kinds of display.
4. TSV contains the word-level data in a TSV table, without syntactic tree structure. This is simpler for many programs that do not need the complexity of graph structures.
