28 Paul Danove one who transfers, something that is transferred, the locale from which something moves, and the locale to which something moves3. These four entities have the semantic functions, Agent (the entity that actively insti- gates an action), Theme (the entity moving from one place to another or located in a place), Source (the literal or figurative entity from which so- mething moves), and Goal (the literal or figurative entity towards which something moves)4. Although the conceptualization of transference places four entities into relationship with each other, Greek and English verbs can requi- re completion by at most three complements with different semantic functions5. The disparity in the number of logical entities of transference that must be addressed (four) and the number of required complements that verbs may license (three) is overcome by assuming a perspective on the initiation of transference, in which the Agent is either coincident with the Source or coincident or at least co-directional with the Goal. These perspectives permit verbs to grammaticalize conceptualizations of transference by omitting consideration of either the coincident Source or the coincident / co-directional Goal, which may be retrieved from the Agent at initiation, and to raise the remaining three entities of trans- ference as required complements. The two possible perspectives on the initiation of transference are illustrated in the following examples, which introduce the omitted Source or Goal within brackets, []: At the proper time he sent [from himself] to the farmers a slave (Luke 20,10) καιρῷ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς δοῦλον [You] take this cup from me [toward yourself] (Mark 14,36) παρένεγκε τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ According to the conceptualizations grammaticalized by these verbs, the slave (Theme) in Luke 20,10 initially moves away from the vineyard owner (Agent / Source); and the cup (Theme) in Mark 14,36 initially moves toward God (Agent / Goal).

Greek and English verbs also may license adjuncts that further specify the conceptual- 5 ization of events but are not required for the correct grammatical use of verbs.
