Re: Examples of the Granville Sharp rule outside the NT
If I had time, I would, but currently, I'm trying to get in extra hours of work before I head out on vacation for the month of August and when I get back, the semester will be starting up again. It would be easier to simply get Wallace's book via interlibrary loan--or better in terms of price, go on...

He's written a smaller guide to accentuation that is similar to (but more comprehensive than) Carson as well as a larger monograph on the historical evidence for accentua...

Re: Bounded and Unbounded ACTIONS in Fanning
Well the simplest answer is that the interaction of aspect and aktionsart in one language is different than the interaction of aspect and aktionsart in other languages. The challenge of books like Fanning (and this applies to most books on the grammar of other languages generally) is that they rarel...

Re: Examples of the Granville Sharp rule outside the NT
It is a logical tendency in the Greek language, not an absolute rule. It cannot be an absolute rule when it has exceptions, when it is so complicated in order to avoid (unsuccessfully) exceptions; it cannot be an absolute rule in a developing lingua franca spoken mostly by multinational groups, and...

Re: εὐθέως in Mat 25,15f
Mike, Can you explain what you mean by a given class? I cannot check a statement that I do not understand. Sorry. That was a typo. It should read "case." I'll change it above. A word with the semantic content of "immediately, right away, suddenly* would be inherently emphatic in any ...

Re: εὐθέως in Mat 25,15f
In every usage in Matthew, εὐθέως precedes what it modifies. Indeed, but it's distribution across the clause looks like this when you go beyond Matthew. εὐθέως = % % ἡ λέπρα % ἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ % At one point I went through the NT, Josephus, and Philo on this, but my notes are missing from my hard ...
