This paper discusses LAF-Fabric, a new\ntool to analyse LAF resources in general with an extension to process the\nHebrew Bible in particular. We first walk through the history of the Hebrew\nBible as text database in decennium-wide steps. Then we describe how LAF-Fabric\nmay serve as an analysis tool for this corpus. Finally, we describe three\nanalytic projects/workflows that benefit from the new LAF representation:\n  1) the study of linguistic variation: extract cooccurrence data of common\nnouns between the books of the Bible (Martijn Naaijer); 2) the study of the\ngrammar of Hebrew poetry in the Psalms: extract clause typology (Gino Kalkman);\n3) construction of a parser of classical Hebrew by Data Oriented Parsing:\ngenerate tree structures from the database (Andreas van Cranenburgh).","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.0286v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.0286v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"laf-fabric-a-data-analysis-tool-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/Dans-labs/text-fabric","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
