Matt,
There are a number of other reasons that a full noun phrase may be used.
Point of departure is one of them as discussed extensively in *Levinsohn. In
Mark 11:11 and 11:15 the impact of using a full noun phrase hO IHSOUS in
the Maj Text could be understood as a point of departure. If that is the
case then hO IHSOUS of the lack of hO IHSOUS in Mk 11:11/15 is significant
for discourse analysis. A point of departure is a disruption of discourse
coherence.
I think it is quite possible that we are talking about discourse coherence
from slightly different perspectives. I appreciate your comments. Always
good to hear from Roehampton. Not quite sure if this is the same Roehampton
that I am thinking of, you know Stephanie Black, Cindy Westfall, Gustavo
Martin, Stanley . . .
