I wrote a paper on relative clauses in Koine Greek some time ago, as 
part of my MA studies.  This isn't Transformational Grammar, instead 
using Role and Reference Grammar, but you might find it interesting 
nevertheless, especially for its references:

(It's the first paper on that page.)


For producing syntax trees yourself, I cannot help but mention my free 
"Linguistic Tree     Constructor" software:

http://ltc.sourceforge.net

LTC is for drawing syntax tree in a point-and-click manner.  LTC was 
written specifically with Greek in mind.

Anyone who is interested in having a copy of Tischendorf's 8th GNT in a 
format readable by LTC, please contact me off-list.


Finally, you might want to look at purchasing Logos version 3 if you 
haven't already -- several of their packages contain OpenText.org's 
syntactic analysis of the GNT, with involvement by Stanley Porter and 
Matthew Brook O'Donnell:

several packages also have the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament:

Disclaimer: I wrote the search engine that powers the syntactic searches 
on these resources in Libronix version 3.  My search engine is called 
'Emdros':
