Peter,

    In addition to Danove's Linguistics and Exegesis in the Gospel of Mark, I have found the following helpful, each in their own way. Many of them address the issue of Mark's redactional style and so may be of limited help depending upon what you are looking for with respect to the style of Mark's greek. That being said, even if you do not buy into their particular theories of what does and does not constitute Markan redaction, they are often filled with "raw" data, esp. Neirynck and Peabody, that highlights Markan style.

Neirynck, Frans. Duality in Mark: Contributions to the Study of the Markan Redaction. Bibliotheca ephemeridum theologicarum lovaniensium 31. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 1972.

Peabody, David Barrett. Mark as Composer. New Gospel Studies 1. Macon, Ga.: Mercer University Press, 1987.

Pryke, E. J. Redactional Style in the Marcan Gospel. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1978.

Also, if you get into Danove's Linguistics, I would recommend the following which gives more of a fleshing out of how his method can be used. And look into the articles he has written. 

Danove, Paul L. The Rhetoric of the Characterization of God, Jesus, and Jesus' Disciples in the Gospel of Mark. Journal for the Study of the New Testament: Supplement Series 290, 2005.

I'm in a hurry right now but if you would like more information regarding the above, please let me know and I can provide some descriptions.

Sincerely,

Ted

Subject: [GMark] Language and Style of Mark

What would people recommend on the subject of the language and style of
Mark's Greek?
I'm looking at Hawkins, Horae Synopticae; N. Turner, Style (Moulton's
Grammar); C.H. Turner's 'Notes on Marcan Usage' and the standard
commentaries. But there must be some more recent monographs out there.

Cheers

Peter
