55 Distinguishing Goal and Locative Complements of New Testament... that characterizes entities as either animate (+animate) or inanimate (–animate)8. In general, the attribution of animacy in Greek is straightforward. Di- vine and demonic beings, forces of nature that can function as the Agent of verbs, and living human beings and animals are +animate. In contrast, concepts, places, structures, and dead human beings and animals are –animate. Entities that otherwise are –animate may function as +animate entities in contexts in which they serve as the semantic Agent of verbs. The study notes occasions in which Greek grammar deems +animate entities that English speakers would deem –animate. The study distinguishes the three lexical realizations of required com- plements as either Goal or Locative based on the animacy of the verb’s non-Agent required complements. 3. The πρός Prepositional Phrase Required Complement (69 occu- rrences) The required πρός complement appears on 69 occasions with twelve verbs of transference: ἄγω (bring); ἀναπέμπω (send up); ἀπάγω (lead away); ἀπολύω (send away); ἀποστέλλω (send); ἁρπάζω (take up; κατασύρω (drag); παραλαμβάνω (take along); πέμπω (send); προστίθημι (add); προσφέρω (offer, bring); and φέρω (bring). This discussion re- solves the distribution of the Theme and πρός complements according to the animacy of the entities that they designate, develops a descriptive rule for distinguishing Goal and Locative πρός complements, and investigates the contribution of occurrences with indefinite null Theme complements. In order to clarify the application of the ±animate distinction, this dis- cussion explicitly notes the entities designated by the Theme and πρός complements. The +animate Theme appears with a +animate πρός complements on 55 occasions with eleven verbs; and the πρός complements consistently function as a Goal. In these, the Theme designates the Paraclete (1), an ples, (trans. J. Smith) (Rome 1963) 24; N. Turner, A Greek Grammar of the New Testament, Vol. III: Syntax (Edinburgh 1963) 233-4; R. Kühner and B.
