Dear Prof. van der Merwe, Kirk, et al,

Are such works on general discourse linguistics imperative for the second
or third year student of BH or Gk?  Will seminaries require a course or two
in general linguistics?  Let me put it another way  ;-)   Would *you*
require seminary students to take a couple linguistics courses as part of
their Biblical languages strand?

Thanks,
Bryan
