Ken,
There is a PDF excerpt of the grammar that Mike mentioned available for download from www.ntdiscourse.org/publications. It is the draft version of the introduction, the chapter on conjunctions, and the chapter on forward-pointing references. It applies the principles described in the two volumes James refers to by Dooley and Levinsohn and Levinsohn, respectively. The final version is currently being typeset and should be released later this fall. There is a print version in the works as well, but no specific details are available yet.
The blog posts on the main page also describe a number of the discourse features described in the grammar. The grammar provides both an introduction to and expansion of Levinsohn's "Discourse Features of the Greek New Testament." The additional work is derived from my doctoral studies in the Hebrew Bible and my analysis of the GNT in the "Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament". The blog posts and the grammar excerpt should give you a sense of my approach.
Hope you find it helpful, it was written for the kind of application you describe.

Subject: [B-Greek] Books on analyzing Greek text (text linguistics?)
I'm looking for a good intro book on analyzing the structure and syntax of a passage for the purpose of exegesis. Richard Erickson's book on exegesis talks about it some but not enough. I think this area is called text linguistics. I'm reading a book that I thought was in this area, Style and Discourse, by Nida, et al, but it is not showing me what I am looking for. Any suggestions for a book? Thanks.
Ken
