Mounce posts about the Greek language, exegesis, and related topics on the ZA Blog. In the sentence, “The black cat chased the little mouse,” we know the cat is black and the mouse is little because “black” is close to “cat” and “little” is close to “mouse.” But this does not work in Greek. English, on the other hand, uses word order and proximity to indicate relationships. Because Greek uses endings (for the most part) to convey the relationships among words, Greek can insert words and even phrases between two related words (or phrases). We look at case and tenses and the meanings of words, but not how punctuation can help convey the meaning of the passage. I don’t think I have ever been in a Greek class - either as a student or a teacher - in which punctuation was discussed as a tool for translation. Most translators, he says, use English punctuation sparingly however, some phrases that are tricky to translate might be helped by some punctuation, such as dashes. In today's post from the archive, Bill Mounce suggests we use punctuation to aid in Greek translation. Meanwhile, we’ve hand-picked some classic, popular posts from the “Mondays with Mounce” archive for your Greek-studying pleasure.
