Ordering Vocabulary by Pericope Dispersion

Plato Vocabulary Coverage After the New Testament
Seumas Macdonald asked me about vocabulary coverage for each work of Plato assuming one has learnt the New Testament vocabulary.

Tolkien, Sonnenschein and Language Learning
Via an unusual route, I discovered Edward Adolf Sonnenschein and his thoughts at the turn of the 20th century on teaching Latin (and Greek).
Vanessa Gorman's Lemmatisation Now in vocabulary-tools
Last year I started the Python library vocabulary-tools to consolidate the various scripts I’ve written over the years to analyse vocabulary in (particularly New Testament) texts. I’ve just added support for the vocabulary in Vanessa Gorman’s treebanks.

Working with the Diorisis Ancient Greek Corpus
I’ve recently started working on cleaning up the Diorisis Ancient Greek Corpus for my own vocabulary and morphology work as well as potential use in Scaife.
