Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb

by William Watson Goodwin

Publisher:

Macmillan and Co.

, 1889

Overview

In Greek, like many languages, the verb is where a lot of the nuance—the linguistic heavy lifting—is done. Verbal theory is where the hottest debates in Greek studies are. Goodwin was one of the main actors in the debate about the nature of the Greek verb, and his Syntax of the Moods and Tenses of the Greek Verb is a vital part of the discussion. Indeed, Wallace’s Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics dedicates an entire section to the lively dialogue between Goodwin and Gildersleeve.
