Paul Danove presents a case frame grammar and lexicon for the Gospel of Mark, with three major goals. He first provides a step-by-step introduction to case frame analysis, incorporating various adaptations and extensions to address the needs of the study of the Greek of the New Testament. He then provides a comprehensive introduction to the most frequently observed predicator usages in the New Testament, finally combining all syntactic, semantic, lexical, and further descriptive grammatical information in a manner that guides the interpretation and translation of predicators in their grammatical contexts. Danove begins with the method of analysis and description, with an overview of case frame grammar, an analysis of the events grammaticalized by the predicators in the Gospel of Mark, descriptions of the usages of these events, and further specification of these descriptions. He then provides illustrative examples of the predicators with each usage, discusses the distinctive grammatical characteristics of the Gospel, sets forth the protocols for generating lexicon entries, and concludes with the case frame lexicon for predicators in the text of Mark.
