Paul Danove, «The Licensing Properties of New Testament Verbs of Non-Spoken Communication», Vol. 24 (2011) 41-58

This article resolves the semantic, syntactic, and lexical requirements for the grammatical use of the twenty-nine New Testament verbs that designate communication without a necessary reference to speaking. The discussion establishes criteria for distinguishing verbal usages, identifies four basic usages of non-spoken communication, and examines the conditions for the permissible omission of required complements. The presentation of the licensing properties of verbs with the four basic usages clarifies the similarities and dissimilarities in the realizations of complements for verbs of non-spoken and spoken communication and illustrates two further usages that are restricted to verbs of non-spoken communication. The concluding discussion considers patterns in the distribution of complements and usages among verbs of non-spoken communication.

Derived Usages Verbs of non-spoken communication also appear with two usages derived from the basic usages through the suppression of the second required complement. With these usages, the verbs still require comple- tion by the three arguments of their corresponding basic usages (ACE 21 AE/T, N+acc/DNC: ἀπατάω (3), Eph 5,6; 1 Tim 2,14; Jas 1,26; ἐπαναμιμνῄσκω (1), Rom 15,15; νουθετέω (6), Acts 20,31; Rom 15,14; Col 1,28; 3,16; 1 Thess 5,12.14. 22 AE/T, DNC/DNC: νουθετέω (2), 1 Cor 4,14; 2 Thess 3,15.
