Studied linguistics with Wycliffe Bible Translators (cooperative program with the Dallas campus of Summer Institute of Linguistics). Learned linguistic principles and methodology so that I could apply them to the study of Biblical Languages (namely Biblical Hebrew and New Testament or Koine Greek). My area of focus was Discourse Analysis. Instrumental influence was Robert E. Longacre. My thesis was \"A Salience Scheme Approach to the Narrative of Matthew's Gospel.\""]
