Re: Prepositions and verbs

I had this tab open for a month meaning to come back to it. Attached prepositions (preverbs) are understudied. I know that Chiara Zanchini (2019) Multiple Preverbs in Ancient Indo-European Languages: A comparative study on Vedic, Homeric Greek, Old Church Slavic, and Old Irish exists, but its not re...

Re: Campbell, Basics of Verbal Aspect, 2nd edition

Campbell is in the small camp of people who think Ancient Greek does not mark past tense on the verb for the aorist and imperfect. He also, as James notes, has a novel view of the perfect, where it denotes what he calls, "heightened proximity" (perfect) and "heightened remoteness"...

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)

Re: Feedback on criteria for posting books here

I think it'd be best to err on the generous side. More books, better!

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)

I'm not going to pretend that I know or understand the motivations for one use over the other, Stephen. What I can say is that I think issues like this represent good example of how grammatical choices function as a continuum along the likes of what Carl Bache (1995, 127) describes, such that we can...
