Yes, Carl. I am well aware of that, and my post was not directed primarily to you, but to others who
are listening in on the conversation. Just so that people know that there are different opinions on
the matter. I invite everyone to do their own research on the pragmatic significance of the
placement of PAS in Greek. There are 1243 of them in the GNT, and this would be a nice MA thesis or
research paper. It should be set within a general framework of word order significance.
A smaller research could look at the 26 times that PANTA and TAUTA occur together. One would need to
be able to describe why PANTA sometimes occurs first, and why it sometimes occurs last.
For those who don't have a good search program and would like to study this, let me give the
references for the two orders:
TAUTA PANTA - Mat 4:9; 6:33; 13:34; 13:51; 13:56; 23:36; 24:2; Mrk 10:20; 13:4; 13:30; Luk 12:30,
16:14; 18:21; 21:36; 24:9; Jhn 15:21; Act 7:50
PANTA TAUTA - Mat 6:32; 19:20; 24:8; 24:33; 24:34; Mrk 7:23; Luk 1:65; 2:19; 1 Cor 12:11.
