Re: Towards defensibility of your ideas

I have no such needs and there is nothing here I am looking to publish. I mean the collation of manuscripts. I have no plans to publish anything there either. The website is my “publication”. Not splitting senteces or even paragraph could be argued as being the most valid. The grooming that you hav...

Re: Splitting Compound Verbs?

If you like we could work through all the Pi words together. (Para, Peri, Pro and Pros). I working in the Pi’s now for something else, so if your hitching a ride, it’s on my way anyway. I think work like that could be extremely valuable for understanding word meanings (see the quotes below), but at...

Re: Splitting Compound Verbs?

From D. C. Parker's study of Codex Bezae : Line division in Luke contains almost every possible violation of the principles of transcribing a text στιχηδον. We find separation of conjunction and its following phrase; separation of a noun or participle from adjective, pronoun, or demonstrative; sepa...

Re: Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis

While I am still on the topic, here is an interesting tidbit I discovered today. Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis (05) has a unique characteristic among manuscripts where lines always break on word boundaries (with only a few exceptions). While this is 5th century, I thought I would take a look at it an...

Re: Towards defensibility of your ideas

The rush to publish (rush as both "the anticipation of fame", and "the feeling the time is fleeting") and the desire / striving for excellence that you feel, need to be balanced. I have no such needs and there is nothing here I am looking to publish. I can’t seem to get across t...

Re: Splitting Compound Verbs?

Well, besides the morphological and syntactic restrictions already mentioned, which to be honest should be enough, there are two closely related civilizations and literatures that have chosen against separation, the Greek and German. where the author keeps word divisions the same, but then assigns ...

Re: Splitting Compound Verbs?

Whatever is the 'concordant method'? If it means always using the same English translation for the same pieces of a word, then it would be performing the "etymological fallacy." There was a bible translation done along those lines 40-60 years and it would not be recommended. Not exactly. ...

Re: Splitting Compound Verbs?

How will the competent reader be helped by splitting them? I understand how it could be useful for an intermediate students working through a text where the derivation morphology has been simplified to see which words had a direct correspondence between form and meaning, and by implication where th...

Re: Integrate a discussion of accents / word stress into you

I understand that you want to be as right as possible in what you are publishing, but practically speaking, as right as possible = to the limits of current (mediaeval) scholarship. If you want to use different scholarship, you'll need to prove it (or at least lay it out theoretically) then use it. ...
