Summary:

"Offers a comprehensive and unified account of the Greek perfect that considers its behaviour in terms of tense and aspect, as well as voice (or diathesis) - Features insights from the neo-Davidsonian and Chomskyan semantic traditions while addressing the perfect tense in Koine Greek - Incorporates syntactic and semantic frameworks to provide an account of the perfect in terms of the causative alternation and aspectual classes of predicate - Utilizes a large corpus of material that has not been previously discussed in a linguistic sense relating to the question of the semantics of the Greek perfect; Primarily for linguists, academics, and researchers specializing in Koine Greek; also for scholars of New Testament Greek linguistics, Classical Greek linguistics, and linguists working on Old Indo-European languages" -- Provided by publisher
