Many New Testament Greek grammarians assert that the Greek
attributive participle and the Greek relative clause are
"equivalent." Michael E. Hayes disproves those assertions in An
Analysis of the Attributive Participle and the Relative Clause in
the Greek New Testament, thoroughly presenting the linguistic
categories of restrictivity and nonrestrictivity and analyzing the
restrictive/nonrestrictive nature of every attributive participle
and relative clause. By employing the Accessibility Hierarchy, he
focuses the central and critical analysis to the subject relative
clause and the attributive participle. His analysis leads to the
conclusion that with respect to the restrictive/nonrestrictive
distinction these two constructions could in no way be described as
"equivalent." The attributive participle is primarily utilized to
restrict its antecedent except under certain prescribed
circumstances, and when both constructions are grammatically and
stylistically feasible, the relative clause is predominantly
utilized to relate nonrestrictively to its antecedent. As a result,
Hayes issues a call to clarity and correction for grammarians,
exegetes, modern editors, and translators of the Greek New
Testament.
