Incorporating the most recent linguistic insights from both the neo-Davidsonian and Chomskyan traditions, \u003ci\u003eThe Syntax and Semantics of the Perfect Active in Literary Koine Greek\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unified, comprehensive semantic description of the perfect and pluperfect in literary Koine Greek. In addition to consolidating material from contemporary authors, noted classical scholar Robert Crellin draws on a large corpus of extant Koine Greek works--including the writings of Josephus, Polybius, Appian, and Plutarch--to address temporal problems of the perfect and pluperfect in Koine Greek, as well as linguistic issues relating to transitivity. After examining the behaviour of the perfect form from a lexical semantic standpoint, chapters incorporate syntactic and semantic frameworks to provide an account of the perfect in terms of the causative alternation and aspectual classes of predicate. Revelatory and thought-provoking, \u003ci\u003eThe Syntax and Semantics of the Perfect Active in Literary Koine Greek\u003c\/i\u003e offers illuminating insights into the precise meanings of the literary and scholarly writings of the ancient Greeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Crellin\u003c\/b\u003e works for the Greek Lexicon Project, based in the Classics Faculty at the University of Cambridge, UK, and is a former Lecturer in New Testament Greek at the Greek Bible College in Athens, Greece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127705604231,"sku":"9781119243540","price":59.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c7a160afe1ba68d7fa4dfd3d0eb9d75d.webp?v=1732590126","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-syntax-and-semantics-of-the-perfect-active-in-literary-koine-greek-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
