This study arose from what had been thought to be a settled question: "Does the imperfect tense in the Greek of the New Testament grammaticalize time?" The possibility that Greek might be a tenseless language emerged from Porter's study Verbal Aspect in the Greek of the New Testament, with Reference to Tense and Mood.The dissertation is composed of five chapters. Chapter 1 gives a short introduction and background for the study. Chapter 2 reviews a selection of relevant grammars focusing on the usage of the imperfect, mainly in the New Testament. A select few classical works are included as they are referenced by those holding to a tenseless view of Greek. Chapter 3 discusses the construction, normalization, and tagging of a digital corpus following the recommendations of O'Donnell and Pang. Quantitative analysis methods are used in the chapter to perform collostructional analysis for the identification of significant collocations between the imperfect, present, and aorist tenses and temporal markers. The collocations demonstrating a significant (p < 0.05) collocation strength are then evaluated along with the similarities and differences of specific temporal markers between each of the tenses under study. Chapter 4 presents a review of some recent approaches to tense analysis from Reichenbach through Klein. Klein's pragmatic approach is then applied to a selection of New Testament passages that have been identified as demonstrating that Greek is a tenseless language by those holding to a tenseless view of Greek. Chapter 5 summarizes the findings of the study and suggests avenues for future research. The results of the quantitative analysis show a significant (p < 0.05) collocation strength between temporal markers identifying past tense situations and the imperfect tense form. Klein's pragmatic approach of analyzing tenses addresses inadequacies in the standard approach to tense analysis and provides a better approach to understanding so-called past-referring imperfects. Leveraging Klein's approach, it appears that the supposed conflict between the semantic (past) meaning of the imperfect tense form and the pragmatic (non-past) meaning of the so-called past-referring imperfects is due to either the insufficiency of the standard view of tense or the injection of English language usage/concepts into the understanding of the propositions.
