Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???
But, then, if that's the case, I still have absolutely no idea why your Exodus example is at all relevant since it appears in a context that is clearly iterative. Conversely, these examples that appear in the middle of direct speech are not clearly iterative or continuous. Steve (and Levinsohn) are...

Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???
The confusion arises by your words "a perfect use of the imperfect," which can be read as "a non-continuous use of the imperfect" or as "an ideal use of the imperfect." Considering that Wallace is claiming precisely that the examples from Mark are non-continuous uses of...

Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???
I just came across one example when reading the LXX: [Exo 5] [6] συνεταξεν δε φαραω τοις εργοδιωκταις του λαου και τοις γραμματευσιν λεγων [7] ουκετι προστεθησεται διδοναι αχυρον τω λαω εις την πλινθουργιαν καθαπερ εχθες και τριτην ημεραν αυτοι πορευεσθωσαν και συναγαγετωσαν εαυτοις αχυρα [8] και τ...

Re: Grammars of Modern Greek
I have the first edition of Holton et al.'s grammar. It's quite good. I disagree with their analysis on some points, but its a very useful reference work.

Re: Metaphorical Extensions of ἐγγύς
I thought about that, Scott, the problem is that I don't really know what that means...particularly in this context. What does it mean for him to say that Paul is coming close to the actual deed? And why should his audience be impressed (or surprised?) by how close Paul gets to it? And what does tha...

Re: Online Course by Steven Runge of Logos
That may be the case, but this has little to do with that and everything to do with the marketing department at Logos.RandallButh wrote:It's the way his doktorvater reader works. Discourse grammar discusses the macro-signals in a text and is not as concerned with the lexical web in the warp and woof of language.

I know...me too. Minimally, I've put it on my amazon wishlist with the hope that some guy selling a copy will undervalue it.

Re: Is this LXX from the Antioch site compatible with CC-BY-
It should be emphasizes that Swete's text isn't a critical text, but a diplomatic text. It follows a single manuscript except where that manuscript is deficient.

Re: Is this GNT from the Antioch site compatible with CC-BY-
I can't speak for that particular text, but I would suggest that the SBL Greek New Testament is the best modern text with a flexible usage license that you're going to be able to find without simply hiring a group of text critics to make your own.
