ben is correct. diagramming is more of a practice of
exegesis than linguistics. while perhaps it could be
construed as part of linguistics from the standpoint of
syntax it is not always included within it. as far as
linguistics goes, the above recommended book is quite
good. i'm in the middle of reading it right now. other
books about Greek sentence diagramming are listed below:
