A Study of Latin Words in the Greek New Testament

Benjamin, Esther Laverne 01 January 1949 (has links)
The primary purpose of this work is to call attention to the existence of Latin words in the Greek New Testament and to present an objective study of them. As a corollary to this study, the impact of Graeco-Roman culture upon Judea in terms of these words, their synonyms, and related words is pointed out. Glimpses of the background of the New Testament figures afforded through this study lend perspective to the New Testament pages.

A Critical Examination of the Hebrew Word [ruach] as it Occurs in the Masorectic text of the Old Testament Studied in the Light of the Septuagint

Hoffman, Donald L. 01 January 1942 (has links)
It will be the purpose of this thesis to critically investigate the word [ruach] in its occurences in the Massoretic Text and to attempt to determine in each case the true meaning which the original author wished to convey.

Apostolos in the New Testament

Bragg, James Maynard 01 January 1962 (has links)
In this study we will attempt to discover the background of [apostolos] among its pagan ancestors. In addition to this area, we will also be concerned with the Jewish background which exerted a formative influence on the meaning of the word. Finally, an attempt will be made to see the result of this combination of backgrounds as it came to be reflected in the New Testament.

Recherches sur le génitif en tokharien / Researches on the Tocharian genitive

Meunier, Fanny 22 May 2015 (has links)
Ce travail a pour objectif de décrire et de classer les emplois du génitif à partir des textes publiés en tokharien A et en tokharien B. La description synchronique des emplois du génitif, qui constitue en quelque sorte une syntaxe normative de ce cas, conduit à des comparaisons avec des faits syntaxiques connus à partir d'autres langues indo-européennes (en particulier les langues dites « classiques », sanskrit, latin et grec), et place également cette étude dans une perspective comparatiste, et typologique. Le génitif tokharien est étudié dans ses trois emplois : adnominal, adverbal et régi par une adposition (pré- ou postposition). Le génitif adnominal présente les mêmes valeurs que le génitif reconstruit classiquement pour l'indo-européen ; on met cependant en lumière sa particularité à ne transposer qu'un élément sujet lorsqu'il est génitif de procès, et ses critères de commutation ou de distribution complémentaire avec l'adjectif dérivé. Le génitif adverbal présente des emplois qui sont exprimés dans d’autres langues indo-européennes par le datif, alors que l’inventaire des cas tokhariens ne comporte pas de datif. On envisage donc l’hypothèse d’un syncrétisme entre génitif et datif. L'étude du génitif régi par une adposition met en lumière le fait que, malgré la refonte du système casuel en tokharien, certaines formes adverbiales ou schémas de formation sont hérités. Dans l'ensemble de cette étude, on tient compte des paramètres qui sont propres au tokharien telle l'influence de la syntaxe sanskrite sur celle du tokharien (la plupart des textes bouddhiques étant traduits ou adaptés d’originaux sanskrits). / The purpose of this study is the description and classification of the uses of the genitives attested in the Tocharian A and B published texts. A second purpose is comparison : the synchronic description of the genitive (a normative syntax of this case) is compared to the syntax of other Indo-European languages (so-called “classical languages”, such a Sanskrit, Latin and Greek). Three uses of the Tocharian genitive are investigated: the adnominal genitive, the adverbal genitive and the genitive after and adposition (pre- or postposition). The adnominal genitive behaves the same as the (traditionally reconstructed) Indo-European génitive. Nonetheless we emphasize two things : firstly, the Tocharian genitive cannot transpose a verbal phrase [vb + direct object] into a noun phrase. Secondly, very precise criteria rule the competency between genitive and derived adjectives. The uses of the Tocharian adverbal genitive are assumed by the dative in other Indo-European languages. The hypothesis of a syncretism is thus proposed. The study of the genitive after and adposition shows that some adverbial terms or some methods of forming are inherited. In the whole study, one always considers specific parameters of the Tocharian languages, which syntax is widely influenced by Sanskrit, as most part of the Tocharian material is translated from Sanskrit.

A Semantic Study of Ecclesia before 100 A.D.

Cline, Harold Edwin 01 January 1959 (has links)
In studying the background and origin of meaning for this word [ecclesia], this paper will seek to investigate the pagan, the Jewish, and the Christian literature in this order. Of couse, as the preliminary discussion has so far indicated, the primary weight and burden of study will be upond the Septugintal influence. The three stages to be developed are reminiscent of the comment of R.C. Trench in his opening comments concerning ecclesia. He named them as heathen, Jewish, and Christian. The development of these stages will be united and brought together to make some pertinent conclusions in the final chapter of this thesis. At all points, this study will seek to limit itself to this one Greek word, [ecclesia], and words which have a direct relationship with it, rather than dealing with the many images used by the New Testament and theology to understand and to explain the church.

Le neutre adverbial en grec ancien : morphologie, syntaxe et sémantique / Neuter Adjectives used as Adverbs in Ancient Greek : Morphology, Syntax and Semantics

Mathys, Audrey 23 November 2013 (has links)
Cette étude porte sur l'emploi d'adjectifs neutres en fonction adverbiale en grec ancien, sur un corpus constitué de l'ensemble de la poésie archaïque, d'Homère à Pindare. Les données recueillies ont été, autant que possible, confrontées aux données des auteurs classiques et des poètes alexandrins, et replacées dans la perspective de la linguistique indo-européenne. Une étude morphologique montre le caractère récent des adverbes en ως en grec homérique, alors que le neutre adverbial semble constituer un procédé d'adverbialisation ancien et courant. Un examen sémantique des neutres adverbiaux et des adverbes en ως fait apparaître que ces derniers présentent des traits sémantiques typiques d'une catégorie d'adverbes en cours de développement, puisqu'il s'agit presque exclusivement d'adverbes de manière, alors que les neutres adverbiaux apparaissent, chez Homère, dans presque toutes les catégories d'adverbes, ce qui est le propre d'un procédé d'adverbialisation qui a déjà connu une forte productivité. Enfin, une étude syntaxique souligne les limites de la thèse traditionnelle qui voit dans nombre d'adjectifs neutres employés comme adverbes des accusatifs d'objet interne : cette hypothèse ne tient pas compte de l'existence de nombreux neutres adverbiaux qui ne sauraient s'expliquer ainsi, et elle suppose que l'on ait pu substantiver sans restriction des adjectifs au neutre singulier, ce qui n'est pas le cas chez Homère. Cette étude syntaxique met enfin en lumière les étapes du développement des adverbes en ως : ceux-ci sont d'abord apparus dans des contextes où le sujet avait un contrôle sur l'action, ainsi que dans des contextes où l'adverbe est orienté vers le sujet. / The object of this work is to describe and explain the use of neuter adjectives as adverbs in Ancient Greek. It is based on a corpus comprising all archaic Greek poetry, from Homer to Pindar. Whenever possible, this data is compared with the data of the Classical and Hellenistic periods, and put into an Indo-European perspective. The examination of the morphology of adverbs in archaic Greek shows that the adverbs in ως are a recent development in Homer, whereas adverbial neuters seem to have been the default way of deriving an adverb from an adjective shortly before the archaic period. The semantics of the adverbs in ως displays typical features of a relatively new adverbial formation: in Homer, the suffix ως is only found in adverbs expressing manner. On the other hand, neuter adjectives used as adverbs are found in almost every adverbial function, which is the expected behaviour of a very productive adverbial formation. Finally, a syntaxic study of the adjectives in archaic Greek shows that the use of neuter adjectives as adverbs cannot be explained as a special case of internal accusative: this hypothesis is unable to account for numerous neuter adjectives used as adverbs, and implies that neuter adjectives could be used as substantives in singular without any restriction, which is not the case in Homer. This syntaxic study also sheds light on the development of the adverbs in ως: they first appeared in contexts where the subject controlled the process, and in contexts where the adverb is subject-oriented.

The Enchanter's Spell: J.R.R. Tolkien's Mythopoetic Response to Modernism

Gorelick, Adam D. 12 November 2013 (has links)
J.R.R. Tolkien was not only an author of fantasy but also a philologist who theorized about myth. Theorists have employed various methods of analyzing myth, and this thesis integrates several analyses, including Tolkien’s. I address the roles of doctrine, ritual, cross-cultural patterns, mythic expressions in literature, the literary effect of myth, evolution of language and consciousness, and individual invention over inheritance and diffusion. Beyond Tolkien’s English and Catholic background, I argue for eclectic influence on Tolkien, including resonance with Buddhism. Tolkien views mythopoeia, literary mythmaking, in terms of sub-creation, human invention in the image of God as creator. Key mythopoetic tools include eucatastrophe, the happy ending’s sudden turn to poignant joy, and enchantment, the realization of imagined wonder, which is epitomized by the character of Tom Bombadil and contrasted with modernist techno-magic seeking to alter and dominate the world. I conclude by interpreting Tolkien’s mythmaking as a form of mysticism.
