Re: Verb aspect debate outside of Koine

All who hold to "tenseless" view are primarily NT scholars, not purely linguists or classicists. Porter has studied linguistics, but tries to be a jack of all trades. He's a real genius, I have to admit, but goes against the larger field of linguistics in this one. All the others are more ...

I think this is different, it's basically "Moses the man", not "Moses of God".

Re: Double articles

I'm not sure I understand what serunge or others are saying. To me it looks like "Ἰάκωβος ὁ τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου" etc. point to an individual person by name, but because it may not be enough to identify them, clarification is added: "Jakobos, namely the one of the Zebedaios". This is no...

Re: A question regarding Acts 28:23

[Many parts are tautological ("either formally or informally," "in a public or private setting"). I think these kind of restrictions or descriptions come from some specific claims in debates, or at least from the need which arises from them. For example, someone may anticipate a...

Re: A question regarding Acts 28:23

I guess what I wanted to ask is that since the definition for ἐκτίθημι is "to set out of", would the definitions of διαμαρτύρομαι and πείθω in Acts 28:23 be a subset of the definition of ἐκτίθημι? I ask this because I see that the action of διαμαρτύρομαι and πείθω could still be a form of...

Re: Words translated "Therefore"

Runge helps you to understand the whole issue in a new way.

Unfortunately Siebenthal doesn't seem to help much, he doesn't do much more than list particles and conjunctions under classes, with glosses.

Re: οὐ... πᾶσα σάρξ (A discourse analysis of Gal 2:14b-16)

Again, you are ignoring the textual context (e.g. Gen 6:17), how the ancients expressed things hyperbolically generalizing, and especially how the key word πασ is used. It's not a logical word meaning "every one without any exception", it must always be interpreted contextually. You are fo...

Re: James 1:5 αἰτείτω παρὰ τοῦ διδόντος θεοῦ πᾶσιν ἁπλῶς καὶ μὴ ὀνειδίζοντος parsing

θεοῦ is not moved forward, διδόντος is fronted for "emphasis" (although many here who know linguistics abhor the word emphasis). This is hyperbaton, discontinuous syntax, a flagship of more complex "style" (another abhorred word). The first part including the interrupting word fo...

Re: Ancient Greek OCR

I tried gImageReader. I installed it and set the languages to English and Greek (Ελληνικα). I opened the image and started Recognize. This is the result: IX.3.

But I'm curious. I attached an image to an earlier post, giving results for two systems. Can anyone post results for current systems using the same page?
The old attachment doesn't work.
