Re: Non-Telic Historical Presents in John 20:1-2?

Rijksbaron claims that the verb (or predication) of an historical present must be telic: Note 1 The historic present is only found with terminative (telic), not with stative (atelic) verbs (cp. § 2). Thus, the present indicative of verbs like βασιλεύω, εἰμι, ἔχω, οἶδα, ῥέω is never used as a histor...

Re: "Semantic Priority Grammars"?

The question is similar to dictionaries. dictionaries can be listed according to alphabet, according to *root, or according to semantic domain. In order to know a language in its length and breadth, both structural categories and functional categories must be controlled. And an accurate, good, and u...

Re: 01: Note 1

Porterites, Campbellites, and Deckerites are much more common in NT circles than in Rijksbaron's circles. Would we need to modify this note? I checked the 1984 edition of the book. It is pre-Porter, but the wording of this note is the same. I wonder who Rijksbaron's target was? Perhaps his target w...

Re: 01: The Semantic Value of the Tense Stems

On the future passive, you can see that the -θη- + -σ- was a "theta-eta" development with -σ- . That is, "Theta-eta entered both the aorist system and the future system.
