Λύχνις Δαν Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi ya, We have this passage : Πράξεις 7·40 εἰπόντες τῷ Ἀαρών· ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος, ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ἐγένετο αὐτῷ. Now in the syntax ὁ γὰρ Μωϋσῆς οὗτος is a dislocation which is fine, but I am wondering if Μωϋσῆς ought to be tagged as a subject in the syntax. It's currently only tagged as a casuspend and proper noun. In other rather similar cases the D phrase handles the dislocation and the subject is tagged as such. Thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco V. Fabbri Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Here the verb is οὐκ οἴδαμεν, whose Subject can only be an understood "we". This is why Μωϋσῆς can't be the Subject. As it is nominative, it will be a Nominativus pendens, that makes for most of left dislocations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Yes that makes perfect sense. Thanx for clearing that up. Seems obvious now you point it out - oh well - live and learn Incidentally, I re-read Wallace on this and see that I really mis-read him on this passage I believe. Ooops. Many thx D Edited February 18, 2017 by דָנִיאֶל Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
