Progress log
Posted: October 14th, 2013, 10:45 am
This is a log of my efforts to analyze texts, and in the process learn solid grammar and syntax.
This is how I have learned to deal with ancient texts:
First I underline the verbs
Then I circle the words that introduce secondary sentences
Then I find objects, subjects, participles etc.
That is a pretty sound method that helps with un-complicating some of the most complicated texts.
Each word is recognized, and studied accordingly.
In the end we used to translate into Modern Greek, but I’ll pass any kind of translation. This is strictly a language log, and I don’t want to fall in any theological pitfalls.
I hope a log is ok.
