Working Papers in Greek Language & Linguistics
I've been in communication with a handful of grammarians/linguists over the past year or two about the possibility of developing a sort of Working Papers project for students and perhaps also professors to have an opportunity to get broader feedback and comment on papers related to Greek grammar. Wo...

Mike Aubrey
I'm a linguist with a primary focus on Hellenistic Greek. I did my B.A. in Greek and Historical Theology/Church History at Moody Bible Institute.

It's wonderful. γέγραπται is distinctly Hebraic/LXX Greek, isn't it? A quick check of all the GNT instances of γέγρατπται doesn't bring up any used with a so-calle...

Archaisms & the Hellenistic Perfect
I've been reading through Coultier H.
