CHAPTER VIII

CORPUS

The following is a tagmemic data base analyzes

Proverbs 10-15 which includes 368 lines of Hebrew poetry.

It would be appropriate to treat every verse in at least

the detail that Proverbs 10:1 has had. Indeed many of the

proverbs are much more intricate than the example used.

The procedure of the corpus will be as follows: (1) a

tagmemic analysis of the bi-colon will be given (including

a fifth box for the parsing, a sixth box for the word

itself); (2) the colon itself will be given in Hebrew with

NIV translation; (3) homomorphic and isomorphic features

will be indicated by a circling procedure; and

(4) select semantic correspondences will be indicated by a

double arrowed line between parallel words. The

grammatical constraints of O'Connor's system and the line

types of Collins' approach will also be given. While in

this study all correlation and analysis has been done

manually such a schema has potential for computer aided

analysis. Chapters eleven and twelve of this dissertation

will analyze the patterns discovered in the corpus. The

following abbreviations listing will need to be consulted

rather frequently at first in order to make sense out of

the linguistic formulae.
