Re: Linguists: What have you done for me lately?
Yes, of course, I meant Con(stantine) Campbell. It must have been Carl Conrad's force field that led to the mistake.

Re: Linguists: What have you done for me lately?
Would you consider pragmatics as a separate topic or include it under semantics? Perhaps you could define pragmatics and then give some suggestions. Precisely my question--or at least I hope it fits here: Can semantic features of a verb be cancelled by pragmatic (or contextual) factors? The opposin...

Re: A Model for a New Koine Syntax?
I guess the need for an intermediate level textbook on Greek syntax depends on the institution where Greek is taught. At Duke Divinity, there is only one year of Greek, using a primer, and after that there are optional reading groups. For exegesis, divinity students serious about the Greek are expe...

Intermediate Level Greek Language Learning
It seems to me that there is a real need for an up-to-date intermediate grammar that gets at how Greek works, and that avoids categories based merely on English translation or on context. To be sure, we need a reference grammar as well http://hypotyposeis.org/weblog/2013/01/major-desideratum.html ,...

Re: Funk - A Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic G
Funk identifies the six basic sentence patterns in hellenistic Greek and describes how all actual Greek sentences are derived, via various transformations, from these six patterns I really like Funk's approach to syntax, but have always wondered about its theoretical underpinnings. Can someone with...

Re: Best Practices for Second Year Greek
Are there approaches to syntax which are not totally immersed in metalanguage? When the demons of neo-Machenism have been cast out into the swine of second-language-acquisition, the heard rushes headlong over a cliff and drowns in the sea of syntactophobia. Thanks Stirling. I'm not proposing 'synta...

Re: Best Practices for Second Year Greek
David, Thanks for sharing your syllabus. How about this? Introduce “targeted language structures” (syntax points) through TPR, WAYK, and TPRS stories before directing them to read Wallace. You intended last time to concentrate on Luke 14-15. You could use embedded readings to build up to it. Thanks...
