Here's the function that searches for infinitives within a phrase:
Code: Select all
declare function local:infinitives($wg as element(wg))
{
let $headword := $wg/w[@head='true']
return
if ($headword)
then $headword[@mood='infinitive']
else
$wg / wg ! local:infinitives(.)
};
There's at least one case that this does not handle as well as it could: parallel infinitives joined with και in which both are modified by the article. Here's one example:
I think both διδάσκειν and κηρύσσειν should be considered articular infinitives here, but a phrase has, at most, one head. Another good example:Matthew 11:01 wrote:τοῦ διδάσκειν καὶ κηρύσσειν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῶν .
Ironically, we do better for more complex constructs like this one because we are smarter about word groups than infinitives joined with και:Matthew 20:19 wrote:τὸ ἐμπαῖξαι καὶ μαστιγῶσαι καὶ σταυρῶσαι
I could add a special case for [infinitive] και [infinitive], would that be a good idea? Or is there a more general rule that handles this case?Mark 05:04 wrote:τὸ αὐτὸν πολλάκις πέδαις καὶ ἁλύσεσι δεδέσθαι καὶ διεσπάσθαι ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ τὰς ἁλύσεις καὶ τὰς πέδας συντετρῖφθαι ,
For what it's worth: the count is now 291. Add a handful from parallel infinitives joined with και, subtract at least one false positive, and I'm guessing we're at least in the ballpark. Or am I missing something?
