Forthcoming from the S. Porter camp:

The Hellenistic
Greek Grammar
and Lexicography Project
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

The Hellenistic Greek Grammar and Lexicography Project is a multi-part
project, largely in conjunction with the Biblical Greek Language Series,
encompassing:

an elementary-level Greek grammar (S.E. Porter and J.T. Reed, Fundamentals
of Biblical Greek [Biblical Languages, Greek, 1; Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press] [forthcoming 2000]), instructor’s guide, and teaching
software (S.E. Porter, M.B. O’Donnell, and B.W.R. Pearson, Instructor’s
Manual to Fundamentals of Biblical Greek [BLG, 6; Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press, forthcoming 2000]),

an intermediate grammar of New Testament Greek (S.E. Porter, Idioms of the
Greek New Testament [BLG, 2; Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 2nd edn,
1994]),

an advanced reference grammar of Hellenistic Greek (S.E. Porter, C.
Caragounis, M.B. O’Donnell, B.W.R. Pearson, and J.T. Reed, Advanced
Reference Grammar of Hellenistic Greek [BLG, 3; Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press] [forthcoming]),

a lexicon of Hellenistic Greek, using corpus-based linguistics and
computer-tagged Hellenistic Greek texts (S.E. Porter, M.B. O’Donnell and
B.W.R. Pearson, Lexicon of Hellenistic Greek [BLG, 4; Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press] [forthcoming]),

a reader of advanced texts in Hellenistic Greek (S.E. Porter and B.W.R.
Pearson, Advanced Texts in Hellenistic Greek [BLG, 5; Sheffield: Sheffield
Academic Press, forthcoming 2000]), and

the Hellenistic Greek Text-Annotation Project (project director: S.E.
Porter, project manager: M.B. O’Donnell, project member: B.W.R. Pearson).

Supportive volumes in Greek grammar and linguistics are S.E. Porter and J.T.
Reed (eds.), Discourse Analysis and the New Testament: Approaches and
Results (Shefield: Sheffield Academic Press, forthcoming 1999); and S.E.
Porter and D.A. Carson (eds.), The Greek of the New Testament: Critical
Junctures (Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, forthcoming 1999).

This project, completed in some parts and underway in others, is the first
co-ordinated approach to the world of Hellenistic Greek, and one which is
making use of both a modern functional linguistic approach, as well as
computer corpus-based technology to both annotate and analyse large bodies
of Greek texts from the Hellenistic era.
