Section types

The section types correspond to the various divisional units in the Bible. The Greek New Testament is divided in books, books are divided in chapters, chapters are divided in verses, and verses in half-verses. The sectional types book, chapter, verse, and half_verse specify features which indicate which book, chapter, verse, half-verse their objects refer to.

A book object carries the book feature, which contains the name of the book. A chapter object carries the chapter feature, which contains the number of the chapter. It carries also the book feature to indicate the book of which it is a chapter. Analogously, the verse object carries the verse feature, which contains the number of the chapter, and the book and chapter features.

Word type

There is only one type for words, the word type. Word objects correspond to the smallest divisional units in the BHSA dataset. They are also identified with slots, because each slot is filled by a word and each word fills a slot. Words are not identified with strings, because there are various string representations of the words, none of which is canonical. All word occurrences are numbered with a slot number.

Linguistic types

Linguistic types correspond to syntactical entities such as sentences, clauses and phrases.
