Matthew's Greek

Hallo,

Given the idiosyncrasies of the greek of the Gospel of Matthew, is 
it possible to make general statements about the structure of 
Biblical Greek/Koine Greek/Hellenistic based on data from 
Matthew's Gospel? (I suspect that some may say so, but before I 
can say that Matthew's greek is not a true reflection of spoken 
greek of the 1st century A.D., we have to define/describe the 
properties of spoken greek in 1st century Palestine.)
In the end the question could simply be "What kind of 
generalizations could be made referring to data from the Gospel of 
Matthew?" 

Thanks
Gert Young
