+====== 3b. Extending simple queries: Combinations of attributes and values ======
+//This section introduces simple queries involving one token with more than one property, It presupposes that you have read [[cqp:corpus-structure|Section 1]] and [[cqp:simple-queries|Section 2]].//
+Recall that in Section 2, we searched for //love//, and that our queries always returned examples of the noun and the verb. However, when searching for a particular lemma or word form, we typically want to limit our query to a particular part of speech. We can do this by combining two attribute-value pairs in a single pair of square brackets using the ampersand symbol ''&'' -- ''[attribute="value" & attribute="value"]''.
+For example, to find //love// as a singular noun (one love, to cite Bob Marley's famous song), the query would look like this:
+	[hw="love" & pos="NN1"]
+Enter it at the prompt and hit ''RETURN''. You will see that the concordance contains only uses of the singular noun //love//.
+Or, we might be interested in whether the noun //love// can be used in the plural. Our query would look like this:
+	[hw="love" & pos="NN2"]
+Again, run the query and look at the results. You will see, that the plural noun //loves// does indeed exist.
+===== Summary and outlook =====
+This section has shown you how to create concordances using combinations of attribute-value pairs. Building on this, you can look at the following sections in any order:
