Dr. Buth,
No doubt you would agree that the so called traditional grammar
approach has its own metalanguage. No-one (outside of Jerusalem)
studies NT greek without learning a metalanguage. Most of the
discussion of this Wallace fellow I have read in the b-greek archives
is fussing about his metalanguage. I will pick up the book this
afternoon and come back with some glaring examples of the use and
abuse of metalanguage among the traditionalists.
Thanks for posting.
