I wish somebody would have told my 1st year Greek prof that!! Sigh. Do the
educators on this list use closed-book exams? It seems to me [having been an
educator in another venue] that people are best evaluated in a real-life
situation, and so I've never given a closed-book exam except over material that
would have to be recalled accurately in a life-and-death situation. [I taught
nursing.] When I'm reading, I have at least one grammar and one lexicon handy,
and it always upset me to take closed-book tests when I knew I could do much
better with resources.

Can somebody give me a quick and dirty definition of "semantic domain" and
explain what Louw and Nida offer above and beyond BAGD? Also, is there a book
that discusses linguistic principles at a basic level, especially those
pertinent to translation and exegesis?
