Re: Errors in Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek
the order could certainly be Contextualized Subject+Focal Predicate nominative+'was'. However, that would not be the most 'default.'

Re: Errors in Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek
OK, two notes, one part of the thread, and one correcting an assumption: Jesus spoke in Aramaic and his sayings are recorded in Greek, which is already one step removed from the original. The sentence is technically correct, but not for the reason that many NT students assume. Jesus was almost certa...

Non-backgrounded adverbial participle+indicative as a type of serial verb construction. Do I see water trying to flow uphill?

Re: How to study languages
Thanks for the PDF link. Things can be distilled into comprehensible input and meaningful production. Yes. But the way to provide comprehensive input and meaningful production appropriately in any given situation or setting ... that's what master teachers are for, and SIOP gives some really good ad...

Re: εἰς in Matt. 6:13//Lk. 11:4
If poeple are willing to consider backgrounds, they should factor in the rabbinic idiom לידי נסיון "to the hands of trial", attested in a prayer. 1. Personally, I think that the phrase in Mt and Lk refers to succumbing to the temption as well as encountering temptation, and that such a &qu...

Re: Matt. 4:16 καθημαι and Matt. 5:1 καθιζω
Phillip, Thank you for the kind words. On suppletion and words in any language, it is the overall pattern that shows how things work. Like 'go' and 'went' in English. There is no absolute rule on what will or will not work, and there are situations where there is partial suppletion, when the tendenc...

Re: Matt. 4:16 καθημαι and Matt. 5:1 καθιζω
The difference in the words καθίσαι and καθῆσθαι deals more with lexical suppletion for aspect than conscious manipulation of voice/διάθεσις. Suppletion is where two words are fused to make one word, like δραμεῖν [perfective] and τρέχειν [continuative/open] make up the word for "run" and ἐ...

Re: διηγησις - εν τη οδω
Τινὶ ἠμέρᾳ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τοῖς δένδροις ἔβαινε πότε τὸν ἄρκον εἶδεν. ὀ δὲ ἄνθρωπος ἔκραζεν ὅτι “ἄρκους ἀγαπῶ” καὶ τότε ἐκ τῆς πήρας αὐτοῦ βρῶμα ἔλαβε καὶ αὐτὸ τῷ ἄρκῳ ἔδωκεν. ὁ δὲ ἄρκος ἠγαλλιάσατο καὶ φίλος τοῦ ανθρώπου ἐγένετο. ἄφνω ὁ ἄρκος και ὀ ἄνθρωπος λέοντα εἶδον καὶ ὀ ἄνθρωπος ἔρκραζεν ὅτι “μι...

Re: Meta Language
For some words we may want to use modern Greek. I am pretty sure that μορφολογία exists in modern Greek, though I haven't checked nor do I know its history. A good place to start is ἡ τέχνη (ὁ Διονύσιος ὁ θρᾷξ) Here is his definition of a word and a sentence: λέξις ἐστὶ μέρος ἐλάχιστον τοῦ κατὰ σύντ...
