RT Article T1 The Licensing Properties of New Testament Verbs of Non-Spoken Communication JF FilologĂ­a neotestamentaria VO 24 SP 41 OP 58 A1 Danove, Paul L. 1953- LA English YR 2011 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1821472926 AB This article resolves the semantic, syntactic, and lexical requirements for the grammatical use of the twenty-nine New Testament verbs that designate communication without a necessary reference to speaking. The discussion establishes criteria for distinguishing verbal usages, identifies four basic usages of non-spoken communication, and examines the conditions for the permissible omission of required complements. The presentation of the licensing properties of verbs with the four basic usages clarifies the similarities and dissimilarities in the realizations of complements for verbs of non-spoken and spoken communication and illustrates two further usages that are restricted to verbs of non-spoken communication. The concluding discussion considers patterns in the distribution of complements and usages among verbs of non-spoken communication. K1 non-spoken K1 Communication K1 Verb K1 Verbal Aspect
