Re: Matt 2:18 ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν ... historical present?
Matt 2:18 wrote:φωνὴ ἐν Ῥαμὰ ἠκούσθη, / κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὀδυρμὸς πολύς · / Ῥαχὴλ κλαίουσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς, / καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν παρακληθῆναι, / ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν. A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel IS weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more. (...

Re: ὶνα πας ὸ πιστευων
Mike, I am sure you have read GGBB. In one footnote, Dan Wallace says that the (incomplete?) ὸ πιστευων, for example, is likely continuous, ongoing (maybe even in a salvific context), in the particular verse he was addressing. I'm sure everyone who read that footnote must have been frustrated. Now, ...

Re: Deixis
Well, it's a moot point now; there doesn't appear to be much interest to this post. The Deictic problem was: Specifically, deixis represents the speech event itself: deictic expressions reference the speaker, the speaker’s utterances, the speaker’s location, and the time at which the speech event oc...

Deixis
I ran across this definition of Deixis by a non-scholar; there seems to be a common mistake in defining Deixis, and I think the quote below captures this offense. Specifically, deixis represents the speech event itself: deictic expressions reference the speaker, the speaker’s utterances, the speaker...

Re: Dionysios Thrax
Mike,
I guess what I meant was on what basis do these books/authors make the assertion that Thrax is likely the author of only the initial portion. What is the concensus based on, perhaps is a better way of asking? I hope I've clarified myself well enough for you or others to answer.

The Terminology of Aspect & Aktionsart
Is anyone opposed to using the terms Grammatical Aspect and Lexical Aspect , and dispensing of the words " Aspect & Aktionsart "? I really don't know what using the term "Aktionsart" buys us... or a non-Germanic student. I think if we use the more simplified terms, we can qui...

Re: Matt 3:2 μετανοεῖτε
Carl, Where exactly do we disagree? I believe I am in agreement with your answer. I agree they are to get started (Present Tense Imperative). Here are my words: all of you get started immediately . I did not get the sense that Stephen was asking about the definition of μετανοεῖτε. However, I can see...

Re: Matt 3:2 μετανοεῖτε
Stephen, What's your hunch? This seems pretty straight forward. I take the Present Tense Command of μετανοεῖτε to be something as simple as, " there is no time to waste, all of you get started immediately ." It would then follow that the Aorist is " Be Done with it, Complete the Actio...
