Dear Mark(Wilson),
After posting the following I realized that when you spoke of the
DC you probably were talking about where in time the present tense center
was located. In other words the present tense center of a particular
passage could be located in the future. Am I correct Mark?
Wouldn't we then be talking about the present tense center(PTC)?
Best Regards,
Harry Jones
<<< I've been thinking about the theory of the Deictic center but I
don't see how a Deictic center could be proven without showing
the it is not in the same time slot as a present tense in the
same passage. I don't believe I've seen any evidence that shows
the Deictic as occupying such a different time slot. I hope you
understand what I'm getting at Mark.
If you remember, I was asking about the time sequecing of NT
Greek verbs in a past post and Carl told me that they don't sequence. This
would mean that the time sequence of the actions of a passage would have
to come from the context, I would think. >>>
