Old ways die hard.
🚩that the "Semitic influence" explanation for NT Greek usage isn't all that it's cracked up to be. If the so-called influence must, in the same sentence, be said to also strengthen existing Greek usage, it isn't Semitic influence. It's just regular Greek usage.
We are pleased to announce that our article, “Force Dynamics, Image Schemas, and Constructional Polysemy in the Prepositions ἐπί and κατά in Postclassical Greek,” has been published in the Journal of Translation. #biblicalgreek #linguistics

Hey, @ChristophHeilig, really hope this is what you found in Greece!
A pelican, around 37 years old, shows up every day at a Greek restaurant to get its portion of fish. The bird has become a well-known local figure along the seafront

Writing to profs is a joy—even if its just "I'm looking for a copy of this thing you wrote." I had one mailed me physical photocopy of an obscure article from the 1970s. Another, I asked a question about a claim in his book. He answered and mailed a signed copy across the ocean.
My new thing is emailing professors whose Great Courses lectures I especially liked. My favorite reply was the historian I told about listening to his series on Charlemagne during my morning walks along the Tiber. He said, "Yes, I suspect that would make for pleasant listening"

Can I just add regarding Huff on *that* podcast:
We *absolutely* know how Ancient Greek was pronounced. We know how it was pronounced in multiple dialects. We know how it was pronounced across multiple centuries. I cannot believe Huff said we don't know how Greek was pronounced.

Just started Julia Falk's Women, Language and Linguistics. It's incredible & disappointing how standard modes of historiography obscure the work of women in the field from the start of the LSA, but really pleased to discover this fascinating history.

We're a little quiet this month because there's just too much else happening, but regular writing is coming back soon!
