We have morphological data for the KJV. Lots of work by many people went into this data, to markup each English word in the Bible text to the corresponding Hebrew or Greek word in the original text.
We have many other Bibles with /similar/ wording to the KJV which are not yet marked up.
Lane Dennis from Crossway (ESV publishers) is here at Tyndale House visiting and we've talked in the past about helping them markup their ESV text to the original.
I have done most all of the grunt work for you!Attached is source for a program which attempts to insert <w> markup into the ESV markup using the KJV data.
It is HEAVILY commented, requires latest SVN of the SWORD engine INSTALLED on your system, both the KJV and ESV modules INSTALLED, and has an nice little method:
void matchWords(...) where you're given: a word list from ESV a word list from KJV a map from KJV word to an XMLTag "<w...>" and all you have to do is fill out the equivalent: map from ESV word to an XMLTag.As a sample, it current has a really silly algorithm that actually works for Gen.1.1, so you have an example of the work you need to do.
All you have to do is add the real magic that figures out which words in the ESV map to which words in the KJV (well, you get the idea).
Have fun! And I'm sure you can see where this is going and how useful it can be for future work!
