Re: Total vocabulary of Greek?
It's to shed some light into a rather heated debate about whether Greek/English/some other language is more suited to communicating divine truth because of the relative size of the vocabularies. Is that really a heated debate? In any case, the entire question misguided because a language is not mer...

Re: Syntactical categories and meaning
Being a lumper or a splitter need not be an either-or question. Some lumpers have produced great analyses showing how separate-looking categories have a lot in common. Some splitters have produced great analyses on important minute distinctions. Prototype theory and cognitive grammar allow one to e...

Re: Syntactical categories and meaning
My central problem with Wallace isn't so much the existence of the categories themselves--many (most?) are good and relatively justified. My bigger issue in the organization and structure. Now, I definitely don't view the genitive as having 40 some meanings. No. But there are semantic distinctions t...

Re: Mark 10:36 Τί θέλετέ [με] ποιήσω ὑμῖν;
This thread is a little old at this point, but I've come across a useful discussion of this construction (θέλω + V[subjunctive]) that suggests that the reading followed by the NA27 *isn't* ungrammatical. Τί θέλετέ [με] ποιήσω ὑμῖν; Theodore Markopoulos' book The Future in Greek: From Ancient to Medi...

Perseus Project Texts available in Logos
This is cross-posted from my blog (I didn't fee like trying to come up with something new to type...) I’ve known about this one for a long time. It’s been in the works since before I quit working for Logos back in April. But it’s here now and its awesome. All of the Greek and Latin texts available f...

Re: Matt 25:39 πρός σε
That could be the explanation for Matt 25:39 (thanks for the cite to BDF!). The puzzle remains for me, however, that all the 17 other occurrences of πρὸς σέ in UBS2 (which TLG searches) have the orthotonic σέ (e.g. Matt 28:18, Mark 9:17, Luke 1:19)? (Interestingly, UBS2 at Matt 14:28 read πρὸς σὲ ἐ...

Re: Reading and Pronouncing Biblical Greek Authentically
We must be fair, though, by putting equal weight on this part of the equation as you did on ημέρα: νῦν δὲ ἀντὶ μὲν τοῦ ἰῶτα ἢ εἶ ἢ ἦτα μεταστρέφουσιν ει = η = ι Philemon But that's not being "fair." Such an interpretation makes absolutely no sense in context. For one, you're forcing the l...

Re: Prepositions and Personal Pronouns
Hmm but if we do indeed really want to emphasize something like what we call "present continuous" in English, can we use the present periphrastic? If you want to emphasize a particular part of a clause in Greek, you move it to the front of the clause and place more stress on it in your pr...
