Title: Re: [Corpus-Paul] Word frequency Patterns in the Paulines
Some of you may have seen the excellent (IMHO) statistical analysis
performed by Dave Gentile on word frequency patterns in the synoptics (see
here http://www.davegentile.com/synoptics/main.html for details, and here
http://www.sciencenews.org/20031220/bob8.asp for similar literary analysis).
I would like to apply similar techniques to the Pastorals, with a view to
determining 'authorship groups'.  In other words, I want to use statistical
techniques to find groups of Paulines that appear to have been written by
the same person.

However, in order to do this, I need to obtain lists of the numbers of times
each Greek word is used in each of the Paulines.  Does anyone know whether
this work has already been performed, and if so where the results
(preferably in electronic form) can be found.  If not, does anyone know of a
particularly good source of the text itself (also in electronic form) which
I can manipulate to obtain the counts myself.

Thanks,

If I understand just what you want, go to the Vollstaendige Konkordanz zum NT, edited by Kurt Aland. Volume two should have all the data you need.
