Book excerpt: "Corpus Linguistics, now a burgeoning field, studies those aspects of a language that are susceptible to computer processing once a sizable electronic corpus of the language has been assembled. In this work, O'Donnell takes the unusual step of applying the techniques of corpus linguistics to Hellenistic Greek and especially the Greek of the New Testament, and in three areas shows, with a multitude of worked examples, how it could sharpen our appreciation of the language." "This book, though technical in many parts, opens up a new field to many biblical scholars, who may be surprised to discover how much they still have to learn about the Greek of the New Testament."--BOOK JACKET.
