EffoAnyone may ask to do work on the project and need to contact the project director if interested. Participation at all levels below the sponsoring organizations is done on a volunteer basis. If sufficient funds exist the sponsoring organizations may choose to reward the directors, editors, or contributors.
Because of the difficulty of the subject and some of the subjectivity inherent in the task of syntactical analysis, standards regarding who can participate have been laid down by the sponsoring organizations. As a general rule, only those who have experience in the analysis of the Greek language can be involved. For example, those who would be generally included would be those who are teachers of Greek with experience in Greek syntax and exegesis, or those who have gone through significant training, such as a full Greek program with training in advanced grammar. Those without such training can also be involved if they have had significant exposure to the Greek language, though their work will be critiqued by the editors and will be removed if the editors have good reason to think that the contributor lacks the proper skills.
6. TEXT
What text to be used for the project is yet to be determined. More details will be made public when the decision has been made.
7. TAG SETS
The set of syntactical tags currently used in the project are based on the syntactical categories in Daniel B. Wallace’s Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament. Where we diverge from Wallace’s treatment, or where we have added to the categories because of the need for more types of syntactical tags, such divergences and additions will be displayed on The Biblical Studies Foundation and/or Lexel Software website.
It is our intention to open up the use of this software for other syntactical paradigms since there exists radically different understandings of Greek syntax and other types or related analysis, such as in the case of discourse analysis. If someone is interested in starting such a project, please contact the project director.
Editorship of the current tagging is the responsibility of the project director. Editorship of other syntactical paradigms may need to be maintained by those who wish to lead the effort.
