10.1 | Paul L. Danove Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA The New Testament presents twenty-two verbs that
grammaticalize the resultant state of an entity undergoing change.
This article introduces the method of analysis and description and
resolves these verbs into five groups according to the manner in
which they grammaticalize resultant state. The introductory discussion
develops the method of semantic, syntactic, and lexical analysis
and description. The discussion then describes the licensing properties
of the verbs in each group, specifies the lexical realization of all
observed required complements of the verbs, clarifies the verbs’
interpretation, and illustrates their translation. Keywords: Greek, lexical, semantic, syntactic, resultant, resultative, verb |
10.2 | Nicholas List University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Corpus linguistic research often necessitates large amounts
of data (especially for Natural Language Processing tasks), yet this is
exactly where ancient language corpora are most deficient. Many
ancient language corpora increase their size by extending the
temporal coverage of the corpus, allowing for diachronic analysis
over an enlarged dataset. Because of this, less attention has been
given to the compilation of synchronic corpora for ancient languages.
Since temporal demarcation must be strictly controlled, other means
of increasing corpus size must be explored. This paper considers a
number of important theoretical considerations for the construction of
a corpus for Koine Greek, including representativeness, size, and
temporal coverage. While this study does present a corpus for Koine
Greek, its primary aim is to foreground the particular theoretical
challenges that face linguists engaged in synchronic corpus design for
ancient languages. Keywords: corpus design, corpus linguistics, Koine Greek,

10.3 | Aaron Michael Jensen Adrian, Michigan, USA This article examines passages where the typically
corrective ἀλλά and the typically explanatory γάρ are claimed by
BDAG to have an inferential sense. By demonstrating that the
inferential senses are unnecessary and that here specialized manners
of correction and explanation persist, it serves to support an approach
to conjunction lexicography which recognizes the fundamental unity
of conjunction semantics, known as the “core constraint” approach. Keywords: conjunctions, core constraint, ἀλλά, γάρ |
