Paul Danove, «Distinguishing Goal and Locative Complements of New Testament Verbs of Transference.», Vol. 20 (2007) 51-66

This study develops a rigorous method for distinguishing the Goal or Locative function of dative case noun phrase and ei0j and pro/j prepositional phrase required complements of NT verbs that designate transference. The discussion examines the manner in which Greek verbs grammaticalize the event of transference and proposes a semantic feature, ±animate, which specifies whether the entity designated by the complement is or is not attributed with the characteristics of a living being. An investigation of all occurrences of the dative case, ei0j, and pro/j required verbal complements then permits a distinction in their function as either Goal or Locative based on their animacy. The study concludes with an investigation of the constraints that these verbs place on the interpretation of their required complements.

66 Paul Danove This is a distinctive characteristic of verbs of transference. Thus, Legion (Mark 5,12), whose transference terminates in the stable area bounded by the pigs, enters (Îµá¼°Ïƒá½³ÏÏ‡Î¿Î¼Î±Î¹) them not by a verb of transference but by a verb of motion. Third, the absence of occurrences of these verbs with â€“animate Theme and +animate Ï€Ïá½¹Ï‚ complements, except when motivated by other gram- matical considerations (cf. Heb 5,7), would indicate that the Ï€Ïá½¹Ï‚ Goal complement is reserved for the description of the relationship between +animate Theme and Goal entities.
