Abstract

AKTIONSART IN NEW TESTAMENT GREEK: INFINITIVE AND IMPERATIVE by JOHN THORLEY Charlotte Mason College, Ambleside, U.K. In my earlier article on Subjunctive Aktionsart in NT Greek I attempted to re-survey the ways in which the present and aorist subjunctive are used.' I proposed some revisions to the generally accepted paradigms of usage, and identified distinctive usages by different authors. In this present article I have tried to complete the re-assessment of Aktionsart in NT Greek by a survey of infinitive and imperative usage.' It may not be inappropriate to insert a brief comment here on methodology. In surveying subjunctive Aktionsart usage I was helped by the fact that nearly all subjunctive usage is prefaced by some introductory particle (t'va, Ö1tC.ùç, [IT), etc.). Using J. B. Smith's Greek-English Concordance to the New Testament (Herald Press 1955) I was able to locate subjunctives without too much labour; and the few cases which have no introductory particle (imperatival and deliberative) are easily located from lists in e.g. J. H. Moulton's Grammar of NT Greek. For infinitives and imperatives, however, there is no such short cut. I went through the text of the 1 John Thorley, Nov. Test. XXX, 3 (1988), pp.
