periphrastic imperfect in Luke

I would like to return briefly to the discussion of a week or 
so about the HN DIDASKWN in Luke.  Over the bank-holiday weekend I 
have been reading the latest volume by the Griesbach crowd - Alan 
McNicol et al, *Beyond the Q Impasse: Luke's Use of Matthew* 
(Valley Forge: TPI, 1996).  They repeatedly mention HN DIDASKWN as a 
characteristic of Luke and refer to a dissertation on Luke's 
linguisitic usages by F. Collison.

Has anyone else, out of interest, seen the Collison thesis (which is 
unpublished)?  Or this latest volume by McNicol and co.?  And has 
anyone else drawn attention to periphrastic imperfects as a 
characteristic of Luke?  I do not have my own copy of Cadbury's 
*Style and Literary Method* which is what I would really like to be 
able to consult.

Kind wishes to all

Mark. [ PS May I add my voice to those appreciative of Carl Conrad's 
exposition of the use of voice?  I found this most helpful and 
interesting.]
