Copyright © 2005, 2019 Randy A. Leedy and BibleWorks, LLC www.NTGreekGuy.com SAMPLE Introduction to the BibleWorks New Testament Greek Sentence Diagrams Documentation Package Overview The documentation provided for the BibleWorks Greek NT sentence diagrams consists of four documents. The first—this one—presents basic orientation to the diagrams and the supporting documentation. The other three parts appear and the end of the document, after the diagrams. The first of those appendixes is a primer on Greek sentence diagramming written for Biblical Viewpoint (the former journal of the School of Religion of Bob Jones University), the second presents a detailed description of the diagramming policies followed in the preparation of these diagrams, and the third presents a set of notes on grammar and diagramming issues related to specific NT passages, in canonical order. These passage notes also appear as document comments in the right-hand margin of the sentence diagrams themselves, but for easier searching and to facilitate a variety of uses of that material, I have provided them in running text form as well. I beg the reader’s indulgence regarding my extensive use of the passive voice and especially of the first person, in violation of ordinary conventionswww.NTGreekGuy.com of academic writing. My intention in this document is not to legislate a set of policies that must be followed in Greek sentence diagramming but rather to describe what I actually do in my own diagramming and what I did in these diagrams in particular. I make no claim that mine is the only way, but I want the user of the diagrams to have available a fairly full description of what I did and why. Legislation could easily be written in the third person, active voice, but non-binding description of one’s own practices cannot. Please do not construe the use of the first person as egocentric, then, but rather as implying the reader’s liberty to deal with the matters under discussion otherwise than I have done. About the Author Assuming that I may continue to write in the first person, I identify myself as a native of Mansfield, Ohio,SAMPLE a graduate of Dalton High School (Dalton, Georgia, 1978) and Bob Jones University (Greenville, SC), where I earned the B.A. in Bible in 1982, M.A. in Bible in 1984, and Ph.D. in New Testament Interpretation in 1991. Beginning in 1982 I served at Bob Jones University as a Graduate Assistant teaching Greek, a supervisor in the J. S. Mack Library, a Bible curriculum writer for the Bob Jones University Press, and, from 1994 until 2019, as Professor of New Testament in the Bob Jones University Seminary. I have also been privileged to serve local churches in the roles of Sunday School teacher, visitation director, elder, assistant pastor, and pastor. I am married to the former Katie Rymer, of Westerville, Ohio, and God has blessed us with three children (Diana, Benjamin, and Daniel) and, so far, two children in-law and five grandchildren. Since it is not possible to do the kind of work represented by these diagrams from a presuppositional vacuum, I wish to inform the reader of the theological persuasion with which I approach my work. I understand that many users of the diagrams will not share this persuasion, and the discussions included in this document do not engage in arm- twisting. Those who disagree with me will nevertheless want to know where I stand so that they may take that stance into account as they make whatever use of this work they may. I locate myself firmly within the Fundamentalist branch of Protestant Christianity, intending Fundamentalist in its classic sense when it was coined in early 1900s. Based on the Bible’s statement about itself, I believe that the sixty-six canonical books of scripture are God’s authoritative Word, given originally by a miraculous and unexplainable process by which God spoke through the human authors in such a way that their words are His words, completely infallible and inerrant in every particular, though subject to misunderstanding and imperfect transmission resulting from the fallibility of those who have handled them subsequently to the original writing, whom God did not see fit to continue to protect from all error bywww.NTGreekGuy.com an ongoing miracle. In the reading and study of those books I subscribe to the grammatical-historical school of interpretation, and I believe that God has equipped humanity with tools allowing the careful, honest reader to discern the author’s original intention with an accuracy sufficient to allow him to grasp all necessary details of the intended message. Thus these sentence diagrams are not an exercise in laying out “what this passage communicates to me” but rather “what the author’s words indicate that he intended.” Of course I am not able to eliminate my own subjectivity as an interpreter; I cannot find that God has provided any means by which I can succeed in doing so. But I am constantly doing my best to find the most objective possible bases on which to choose among the various options for construing the grammar.

    Comment Diagramming Interpretation James Durlingt Sentence diagramming a method of showing the relationship between different parts of a sentence-has long been used by judges to interpret legal texts. This Comment documents how judges employ sentence diagrams in constitutional, statutory, and contract cases. Itfinds that diagrammingplays an important role in constitutionaland statutory cases, complementing traditional canons of legal interpretation, but that diagramming is less often used in contractcases forfear of disadvantaginggrammatically unsophisticatedparties.

ISBN 978-1-941643-29-7 Proceedings of the 8th Linguistic Annotation Workshop (LAW-VIII) Lori Levin, Manfred Stede (eds.) ii Preface The Linguistic Annotation Workshop (The LAW) is organized annually by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group for Annotation (ACL SIGANN). It provides a forum to facilitate the exchange and propagation of research results concerned with the annotation, manipulation, and exploitation of corpora; work towards harmonization and interoperability from the perspective of the increasingly large number of tools and frameworks for annotated language resources; and work towards a consensus on all issues crucial to the advancement of the field of corpus annotation. The series is now in its eighth year, with these proceedings including papers that were presented at LAW VIII, held in conjunction with the COLING conference in Dublin, Ireland, on August 23-24 2014. As in previous years, more than 40 submissions have originally been received in response to the call for papers. After careful review, the program committee accepted 11 long papers and three short papers for oral presentation, together with eight additional papers to be presented as posters. The topics of the long papers revolve quite nicely around major linguistic levels of description: part of speech, syntax, semantics, and discourse; and thus we arranged them in theses groups in the program.

  • Simple Sentence Diagramming
    How to Diagram Sentences: Three 10-Minute Lessons Sentence diagramming can be a useful tool to make the abstract components of English grammar more concrete. Most students find that the visual image helps them better understand and remember grammatical terms, the parts of a sentence, and the basic rules of grammar. With practice, writers can use diagramming to diagnose their own grammatical errors and fix them. My Teaching Grammar and Mechanics Grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and High School programs include a simple sentence diagram for each lesson (plus a mentor text, error analysis, practice in the writing context, and a formative assessment). The sentence diagrams are “simple,” because instead of requiring students to construct the entire diagram of a given sentence from scratch (takes too much class time), the simple sentence diagrams provide the drawing (the lines) and the words of the sentence that are not the focus of the grammar lesson. Check out how much students can learn about grammar with these two simple sentence diagrams from my programs. Both examples focus on adverbs. Simple Sentence Diagram Examples Easy Lesson Focus: An adverb can modify a verb and answer How? An adverb may be placed before or after the verb that it modifies. Modifies means to identify, define, describe, or limit. Examples: Carefully she answered. He walked slowly. Complete the sentence diagram for this sentence: They happily played video games. They played games happily video Compare your diagram to that on the display. Use a different color pen or pencil to place a √ above each correctly placed answer and change any errors.

  • Chapter 4 Grammar and Graphical Semiotics in Early Syntactic Diagrams: Clark (1847) and Reed-Kellogg (1876)
    Chapter 4 Grammar and graphical semiotics in early syntactic diagrams: Clark (1847) and Reed-Kellogg (1876) Nicolas Mazziotta Université de Liège This paper shows that the authors who first used diagrams to represent syntactic structures chose graphical conventions that constrained the way they could repre- sent their analyses. Some graphical conventions may look similar despite following different rationales. Conversely, they may also look different and yet be grounded in the same logic. This second possibility becomes obvious when comparing the dia- gramming systems proposed by Clark (who uses aggregated bubbles) and Reed & Kellogg (who use strokes). Nevertheless, two-dimensional objects such as bubbles offer more varied layout possibilities for drawing diagrams than one-dimensional objects such as strokes do. Consequently, authors have to add the representation for abstract concepts such as inclusion by means that are compatible with the basic objects they use. 1 Introduction This paper focuses on the graphical depiction of syntactic analysis. I will com- pare two early diagramming systems in order to show how graphical formalisms put constraints on what can be expressed, because of the spatial properties of the graphical units. I will focus on two aspects: how graphical devices represent linguistic units and how these graphical devices interact on the plane. The di- agrams under study were created in the United States, and date from the 19th century (Brittain 1973), thus preceding the advent of modern syntactic trees that Nicolas Mazziotta. 2020.

On a sentence diagram, place the predicate adjective on the same line with the subject and linking verb. The predicate adjective is separated from the linking verb by a short diagonal line that does not break through the horizontal line. subject linking verb predicate adjective Examples: Elizabeth is beautiful. ↑ ↑ ↑ Subject Linking Predicate Verb Adjective Elizabeth is beautiful The pizza tastes delicious. ↑ ↑ ↑ Subject Linking Predicate Verb Adjective pizza tastes delicious The Copyright 2012 Digging Into Diagramming.

  • High School English Diagraming a Sentence Flipped Lesson
    High School English Diagraming a Sentence Flipped Lesson Objective: The learner will acquire the skills for sentence diagramming and appreciate how it helps them understand English grammar. "Diagramming gives you a tool to attack sentences globally, not in a fragmented approach. You get to see how parts interact. You see not only parts, but also their functions. When you diagram, you develop an eye for breaking down a sentence, so you can fix it more easily." – Paula H from http://www.redshift.com/~bonajo/diagram.htm The learner will be able to diagram a variety of compound and complex sentences and questions by the end of the unit, including sentences with a compound subject, compound predicate, direct object, indirect object, pronouns, appositive, adjective, adverb, prepositional phrase, gerund, understood subject, etc. Models of Instruction The Cooperative Learning Model is great for creating in students intrinsic motivation, positive interaction, and an attitude of helping each other learn. It has been proven to increase intellectual activity, mastery of material, positive feelings, social skills, and self-esteem. However, practice is needed for students to learn how to work cooperatively, efficiently, and interdependently. It is important to use fairly straightforward and familiar cognitive tasks for the initial training, to change partners for various activities, and to introduce more complex cognitive tasks and more complex cooperative sets later. The following cooperative structures are used in this lesson: Jigsaw (in groups of four): Each group member is becomes a specialist for a different part of the assignment. The specialists from each group meet together to learn the material.

  • A Case Study in Greek Syntax
    A Case Study in Greek Syntax: James 1.19-20 Logos Bible Software have commenced implementation of two different projects that encode levels of syntactic information in the Greek New Testament. One project, the OpenText.org Syntactically Analyzed Greek New Testament, provides information for the entire Greek New Testament. Another project, the Lexham Syntactic Greek New Testament, is being released in stages as it is completed. The first release will include the General Epistles (Hebrews-Jude) and likely Revelation. The first public release for both databases will likely be in the first quarter of 2006, with the next major release of Logos Bible Software. This paper works through aspects of James 1.19-20 using both Greek syntactic databases and provides a comparison of the information contained in each database.1 The Text: James 1.19-20 19 Ἴστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί· ἔστω δὲ πᾶς 19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every ἄνθρωπος ταχὺς εἰς τὸ ἀκοῦσαι, βραδὺς εἰς τὸ person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to λαλῆσαι, βραδὺς εἰς ὀργήν·20 ὀργὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce δικαιοσύνην θεοῦ οὐκ ἐργάζεται. (NA27) the righteousness that God requires. (ESV) These verses were chosen because the structure of the verses is (relatively) clear with repetition. Additionally, the verses form one sentence in the NA/UBS text. Evaluating the encoding of these verses in each database will allow a basis of comparison to see the strengths of each encoding as well as the differences between them.
