Daniel B.

Top Highlights

“κόσμον. 1:10 ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἦν, καὶ ὁ κόσμος διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ ὁ” (Page 16)

“If the question is asking about the semantic category of the article, consult Basics 97–103 or ExSyn 216–31. If the question is asking about the structural category, consult Basics 103–8 or ExSyn 231–43. Further, there are two kinds of structural categories: function markers and substantivers. Unless otherwise specified, the structural category for all non-nouns that take an article is ‘as a substantiver’ and the structural category for all articular nouns is ‘function marker.’” (Page 52)

“ ἐν² indicates that the second ἐν in the verse is the one about which there is a question.” (Page 9)

“εἰμί when referring to one who exists eternally, and γίνομαι to refer to one who has a beginning” (Page 17)

“Syntax, far more than translation or parsing, relies heavily on the context” (Page 7)
