Re: Peters' Thesis: The Greek Article
I was on a panel at ETS in 2013 on the article with Peters and Denny Burk with Wallace as respondent. I was scared spitless because I was the stand-in for Levinsohn and had never done any work on the article before that. The papers were incorporated into the recently published in King's The Article ...

Re: Soon Ki Hong on the perfect tense
Hi Matthew, I have not read the book, but I did interact with her early on in the process with some recommendations. Like you, I would need to buy and read the book to have further thoughts. Crellin and Aubrey (especially in his SEBTS essay) have noted the significant impact that voice and the lexic...

Re: use of ἀλλά in James 2:8
Hi MAymer, Sorry for the confusion caused by my statement in the grammar. As Barry rightly said, this is a tough passage. In discussing this with Stephen Levinsohn in preparation for an ETS presentation in 2013(?), he helped me recognize the different layers in play here. The first unit is 14–17 tha...

Re: 2 questions on Eph 3:14-19
I'd second Barry on question 1 regarding possible cataphoric reference. My charting takes 3:13 as signaling the close of a digression begun in 3:2, and takes 3:14 as the resumption of the theme suspended in 3:1. If there is a viable option for an anaphoric reading versus cataphoric, I'd recommend gi...

Re: Understanding the usage of +/- in linguistic papers?
Hi Tim, Here are a couple quotes that you will undoubtedly need to follow up on in order to fully understand the argument, but both specifically address the question you ask from different angles, both demonstrating that Campbell's solution is questionable. "5.3 Analysis of Procedural Character...

Re: Understanding the usage of +/- in linguistic papers?
Hi Tim, There is a somewhat older article that does a nice job of tracing the history of the idea of markedness that would be worth skimming, available for download here: http://www.academia.edu/749962/1989_Markedness_theory_the_first_150_years The minuses can be deceiving, but Anderson does a nice ...

Re: History of εις and εν
One of the big problems with the grammars' treatment is a naive treatment of some principles. For example, εν is not supposed to occur with verbs of motion, that would be εις, right? Typically that is true, except when the εν prepositional phrase occurs at the beginning of the clause and sets the pa...

Re: Use of the aorist infinitive in Mark 2:4
I’d strongly recommend against thinking of the historical present (HP) as a highlighting device and instead to think more concretely about what it signals. This was one of the most difficult chapter to write in my discourse grammar. The first version was flatly rejected as wrong by Carl Conrad, and ...

Re: Grounding status of participle in 1 Peter 3:7
So Steve, assuming that your reading of the text is valid in all its particulars, what difference does it make? Should we draw different conclusions from the more traditional grammatical and syntactical reading of the text? If so, what? You ask a good question, Barry. I would say it does not make a...
