54 Paul Danove event that renders one of the logical entities redundant. Most commonly, the verbs focus exclusively on the initiation of the event. This focus makes the Theme strictly coincident with the Source but weakens the Goal to merely the direction of the Theme’s initial motion. As a result, the Theme is related to the Source and Goal much as an arrow is related to a bow and target at the initiation of its trajectory: the arrow is strictly coincident with the bow but only moving toward the target. Second, the verbs assume a perspective from which the Agent is either coincident with the Source or in the direction of the Goal. This focus and these perspectives permit the verbs to omit direct consideration of either the coincident Source or the co-directional Goal, which may be retrieved from the Agent, and to raise the three remaining logical entities to the status of required verbal arguments. This yields two usages of transference, in which verbs raise either the Agent, Theme, and Goal or the Agent, Theme, and Source as required arguments. Since these two usages require three arguments, one of which is an Agent, they are deemed “ditransitive”. They constitute “primary” usages because they permit the retrieval of all four logical entities of the event of transference. In these primary usages, the Theme always is conceived to move either from the Agent or toward the Agent: [Jesus] sent him [from Jesus] into his house (Mark 8,26) ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἷκον αὐτοῦ [You] take this cup from me [toward yourself] (Mark 14,36) παρένεγκε τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ These examples clarify that in Mark 8,26 Jesus (Agent) is coincident with the Source, the initial locale of the man (Theme); whereas in Mark 14,36 God (Agent) is only the initial direction (Goal) toward which the cup (Theme) moves. However, the cup’s ultimate locale, whether with God or elsewhere, cannot be retrieved from the Agent. The focus on the initiation of the event of transference stresses the “strong” Agent attributes of instigation, volition, and non-affectedness by the action and reduces the Theme to the entity totally affected by the action. As a result, when the Agent is verbal subject, the verb forms are active; and when the Theme is subject, the verb forms are passive: And becoming angry, his lord handed him over to the jailers… (Matt 18,34) καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν τοῖς βασανισταῖς… All things were handed over to me by my father (Matt 11,27) πάντα μοι παρεδόθη ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρός μου.
