Erik van Halsema asked:

>Hebrew.
>She asked me whether I know of this kind of study done in the field of New
>Testament Greek. As I do not know of any such work (I am more of an 'Umwelt-

First, Vincent DeCaan (Univ. of Toronto) has done a lot of work on aspect
in the OT. In addition, here is a brief bibliography of some relevant
material re. aspect. The most helpful are the works by Fanning and Porter,
and Porter is one of the few that explicitly considers the link between
aspect and syntax. (I have not seen all of these yet.)
