Although it does not cover specifically koiné, some list members may
be interested in this new book on the syntax of Classical Greek:
Crespo Güemes, Emilio; Conti, Luz; Maquieira, Helena. (2003).
Sintaxis del griego clásico. Madrid. XI + 502 pp. Hardcover. (In
Spanish)
It is a reader-friendly introduction to the syntax of Classical Greek
intended mainly for University students, written from a functional
perspective (a functionalism closer to Dik's than to Givon's, for
instance), but with the Classical philologist in mind, and it is much
more descriptive than speculative. Very clearly written, it avoids
all non indispensable jargon and gives well chosen examples, all of
them translated into Spanish. The ordering of the contents is not
quite the traditional arrangement one may find in classical manuals
like Kuehner-Gerth, Schwyzer, Smyth, or Krueger-Poekel-Cooper, but
readers may find it preferable at least for a number of syntactic
questions. It contains indexes of Greek words, main concepts and loci
citati.
