ScrollTag Trainer
Trainer is a unique, interactive parsing program that helps to train the beginning student how to correctly identify and parse Greek and Hebrew word forms. Based upon modern linguistic theory, Trainer focuses on teaching the student the important keys (technically called morphemes) to correctly identify words.
Take a look at Trainer
Greek Word Marked
Here is a Greek verb with all of its keys showing. The Psi is selected and so we can see below which parsing options this includes. If we click on other keys, we can see what significance they have.
Hebrew Word Marked
Here we see a Hebrew verb with all of its keys showing. Its A-class vowel under the first radical is selected and so we can see what parsing options this signifies.
Incorrect Greek Attempt
After the user attempted to parse this Greek verb incorrectly, the program highlighted which key the user missed that caused the error and shows the correct answer.
Incorrect Hebrew Attempt
After the user attempted to parse this Hebrew verb incorrectly, the program highlighted three different keys which together help the student know that this is a Niphal (the Niphal triangle).
Greek Chart Marked
All of the charts in Trainer are coded to the various keys on each word, so we can look at a chart that is color coded specifically for the word we are attempting to parse. The intersection of all the keys is the correct answer.
Hebrew Chart Marked
This is a Hebrew verb chart highlighted with all the keys for a specific verb. We can turn on and off the various keys and see what parts of the chart they cover to be able to visualize how the keys affect parsing.
