Description: "Paul Danove presents a case-frame grammar and lexicon for the Book of Revelation, with three major goals. He first provides a step-by-step introduction to Case Frame analysis, incorporating various adaptations and extensions to address the needs of the study of the Greek of the New Testament. He then supplies a comprehensive Case Frame grammar and description of the syntactic, semantic, and lexical requirements that each predicator imposes on its complements. Finally, Danove generates a Case Frame lexicon that guides the interpretation and translation of each predicator occurrence in its grammatical contexts. Danove begins with the method of analysis and description, with an overview of case frame grammar, an anaylsis of elements of events, the nature of usages and further specification of valence descriptions. He then presents the usage of various predicators, the examination of events with a theme, experiencer, or occurrence, and a discussion of distinctive grammatical characteristics of Revelation; and finally he examines lexicon entries, demonstrating the move from valence descriptions to lexicon entries while also presenting the case frame lexicon for predicators in text of Revelation"--
