Dr. Randall Buth recently gave a presentation at SEBTS (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 26 April 2019) on Linguistics and New Testament: Pronunciation. SEBTS has posted the session on youtube. While the lecture ends up on Greek pronunciation, the introduction addresses an important and wide-reaching note for pedagogy: why speech is vital for development of high level reading skills.

The lecture makes use of a handout, with can be downloaded here. (For an additional discussion regarding historical Greek pronunciation, see this post.) Enjoy!
