Description:
Verbal aspect in Ancient Greek has been a topic of significant debate in
recent scholarship. In this book, Constantine R. Campbell investigates
the function of verbal aspect within New Testament Greek narrative. He
argues that the primary role of verbal aspect in narrative is to
delineate and shape the various 'discourse strands' of which it is
constructed, such as mainline, offline, and direct discourse. Campbell
accounts for this function in terms of the semantic value of each
tense-form. Consequently, in the search for more effective conclusions
and explanations, he challenges and reassesses some of the conclusions
reached in previous scholarship. One such reassessment involves a boldly
innovative approach to the perfect tense-form.
There is also a cloth version available for $119.95!
