Matthew D. McDill, «A Textual and Structural Analysis of Mark 16:9-20.», Vol. 17 (2004) 27-44
The purpose of this study is to address two questions: 1) Should Mark 16:9-20 be included in biblical exegesis and 2) If so, what are the structural features of this passage that might aid in its interpretation? In order to answer the first question, the external and internal evidence concerning this passage as a textual variant and the question of its canonicity will be explored.
The second question will be answered by presenting a diagram of the passage’s syntactical and semantic structure and by making observations concerning the unit’s overall structure and development.

syntactical and semantic structure of the LE as a discourse unit.
