I have been looking for such software - for about 4 years. I have been
working with SSA for over 20 years - by hand. The diagramming add-on in
Logos can be used to do this, if you know what your are doing in the first
place. However, the only benefit this has over had-written is legibility.
There is no decision making capability in the Logos software. If they are
currently working on a real SSA capable add-on, then it will be useful
indeed.
SIL has some software that is freeware that comes close. It constructs
linguistic trees of various types. Hence its name - Linguistic Tree
Constructor. I just found it recently, and cannot comment on its utility in
my situation (pastoral), but I suspect it is useful for linguistic field
work. I will need to work with it some to be able to know how helpful it
will be.
I have always appreciated the more traditional diagramming techniques. I
agree that Semantic Structural Analysis sometimes deals in interpretive
areas. However, I have found it very helpful in having to analyze the
relationships, and verbalize what I mean, between clauses, phrases,
sentences, and paragraphs.
If Logos is working on this, I for one am waiting.
