| Summary: | For some time now there has been an urgent need for a new reference grammar for the Greek new Testament, utilising the insights of recent developments in linguistics and semantics. In the same way as the Louw-Nida Lexicon utilised these insights with reference to lexical units, the new grammar should utilise them with reference to larger units of text (i e word, proposition, sentence, sentence cluster, paragraphs, chapter, book). It should move from a traditional morphologically- based syntactic approach to a syntactic-based semantic approach. In this article different aspects of a possible methodology for a part of such a grammar are explored: the necessity for a new grammar is indicated (1); various theoretical linguistic points of departure are discussed (2); the state of the art concerning Greek reference grammars is ascertained, and the methodology of different grammars compared (3); exploratory remarks concerning the approach in such a new grammar are made (4). The article closes with a possible sheme for the relevant part of the envisaged grammar (5), and a summary of research which needs to be done (6). |
