Requirements for Participation

Biblical Greek Language and Linguistics


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite paper proposals for one open session which will be dedicated broadly to the application of linguistics to the biblical Greek language, consistent with the description of the section. In addition, the Section is sponsoring one theme session on the “Pragmatic Effect of Word Order on Hellenistic Greek.” Commentators and scholars often appeal to word order to explain patterns in the text such as prominence, focus or theme, but more work needs to be done to substantiate or nuance claims or assumptions such as default word order and the significance of variation. Papers may explore any of the various aspects and claims concerning the significance of word order in the heavily inflected language of Hellenistic Greek. For more information on the sessions, please contact Cynthia Long Westfall at westfal@mcmaster.ca or Randall Tan at randall@opentext.org
