Re: Shirley Rollinson
Shirley, I am confronted with my health every day, and realize that the next day may be my last. I am still young, comparatively, only 63. But I constantly ask myself why has God kept me alive, while other younger, stronger, more talented souls have been taken. I and my wife have been married 39 yea...

Re: New Resource for Greek Students (Max and Moritz)
My mother had the German edition of this book. It was hardcover, with dust jacket, and in color. The drawings were superb. I would try to find that edition to use for illustrations. I may still have a copy. The story is about two boys who get kicks out of hurting people's animals or just people. The...

Re: Convert from Erasmian
I tell students, you speak like someone from Pergamos, I like Alexandrians. We talk differently, what matters is that we understand each other. When you read a text, you 'hear' sounds (in your mind) whether you speak them or not. What is important is 2 things: (1) Be consistent in how you pronounce ...

Re: Summer Biblical Language Intensive Courses
Language intensive courses are courses which (imop) have a 2-6 week duration per 1 year course. Students who attend 12 weeks intensive instruction can get 'credits' for 1 1/2 to 2 years of normal language instruction at a university. So students who study attending intensive language classes can lea...

Re: Anyone want to work through Dickey's Greek Prose Composition book?
I received Dickey's book yesterday. I'll try to participate, though some weeks may be hard. The GreekStudy group had an email collation software for this type of class participation. I ran a couple of groups there. I also ran a group on Greek composition, using Moodle, where we used assignment submi...

Re: Adding accents
I was wondering if anyone is actually teaching the rising and falling of the polytonic accents, or does everyone simply teach them as stress accents? Steven Daitz teaches rising and falling tones for Restored Attic Greek. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxc03F-vhw8 (starting about 34:20 in the ...

Re: R. W. Funk and the two different structuralisms
So how did Funk's theory of language make Funk's BIGHG different from Smyth, BDF, Robertson and more modern authors such as Porter, Rijksbaron, Runge, etc. Did Funk's theory and influence continue? (I think Funk is close to Goetchius at least in his approach to presentation). Can we see some solid e...
