Tony:

A good discussuion of most of these topics can be found Daniel Wallace's
_Greek Grammar: Beyond the Basics_Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1996

The Apollonius Canon p 250-252
The Anaphoric use pp. 210-211, 217-220, 225, 230-231, 236, 732
Granville Sharp principle, pp. 270-290
Colwell's rule, pp. 256-269
pronominal use, pp 211-215

Wallace's grammar has a discussion of the grammar of the absence of the
article in relation to the phrase "angel of the Lord" but only mentions that
particular phrase


Nigel Turner in his volume 3 of Moulton-Howard-Turner's _Grammar of the
Greek New Testament_ discusses the Semetic influence on the absence of the
article on page 179-180. 



Hope this helps
