For anyone potentially interested in a technical journal for the Greek language that is a free resource, today a new (FREE) e-journal was launched (edited by Stanley Porter and Cynthia Westfall; hosted by McMaster Divinity College) titled: Biblical and Ancient Greek Linguistics. The areas of research interest are as follows:
Quote:
The following list provides an indication of some of the open questions for research that are currently being investigated or are of interest to the journal, as well as those connected with the Centre for Biblical Linguistics, Translation and Exegesis, and the OpenText.org project (http://www.opentext.org). These include:

a Systemic-Functional analysis of voice in ancient Greek
developing a discourse grammar of conjunctions
the identification and functional classification of the paragraph as a unit in Greek discourse
the identification and functional analysis of discourse units intermediate to clause complexes and the text
discontinuous constituents in Greek syntax
the quantitative and qualitative analysis of register
the morphology, grammar and discourse function of the vocative case
significant discourse analyses of books of the New Testament and of the Septuagint
thematization and word order in ancient Greek
issues and problems in discourse analysis of ancient Greek
lexicography in the light of semantic domain theory
various theories of syntax
levels of linguistic analysis including word group, clause component, clause structure, clause complex, and paragraph
the challenges of corpus linguistics related to the study of ancient Greek
the problems of the case and voice systems
textual encoding and analysis
functional hermeneutical models

I know I'll be watching for future issues and reading the journal.

I'll be awaiting future articles of this magazine.
But, frankly, I'm not impressed with the first issue. The second article, in particular, is very weak and unconvincing, and the methodology seems to me to lead you into drawing imaginary associations too easily.
The first article was very helpful, but not in the way intended; I agree fully on the objective genitive "faith in Christ." But the most useful parts of the article were parts that cite how the words are used elsewhere in Greek and standard exegesis, not the semantic analysis. That part was so one-sided, never touching on how Greek would have said it any differently if it did want to express a subjective idea. (Just substitute "love of God" instead of "faith of God" and the article would convince you that it's always objective).
