Stanley E. Porter's suggestions for the perfect tense-form have challenged traditional understandings of the perfect. The traditional understanding is that the perfect is chosen to indicate the dual feature of a present state resulting from anterior activity, functioning as background for main events or themes on a discourse level. However, Porter has argued that the perfect is chosen to deliver the author's stative conception of a process, disregarding anterior activity. He has also argued that the perfect functions as a third level of "frontground," which denotes the highest prominence on a discourse. In order to prove the third level of "frontground" on a discourse level, Porter adopts a certain understanding of the theories of markedness and grounding. This dissertation explores the theories of markedness and grounding in order to evaluate Porter's suggestions for the perfect tense and argues that the theories of markedness and grounding are not solid foundations for explaining the perfect. It finds that there is no unified understanding of markedness values. It demonstrates that Porter mismatches the concept of foreground of "deviation from a norm" in poetic texts to "supportive material" in non-poetic texts, and he mismatches "a foreground device (or a prominence device)" in poetic texts to "the perfect tense form'" in non-poetic texts (ch. 2). Thus, this dissertation shows that it is unlikely that the perfect is chosen to indicate the highest prominence on a discourse level. This dissertation supports the validity of a traditional understanding of the perfect, which is rooted in a dual feature, especially pointing out that the perfect has developed towards anterior activity. Based on a traditional understanding of the perfect, Three Rules are formulated as a means of discussion for the perfect in actual Greek texts (ch. 3). Three Rules are created with two bases. One is based on the frame of a binary opposition between the perfect and the present or between the perfect and the aorist. The other is based on the assumption that the author or writer chooses the perfect to express its dual feature. With these two bases, Rule 1 and Rule 2 are formulated for the perfect working as a finite verb. Rule 3 is formulated for the perfect participle working as an adjective. The Three Rules are applied to the perfects in the Gospel of Mark and the Epistle to the Romans. With them, I demonstrate that the perfect is chosen to indicate the dual feature of a present state resulting from anterior activity in an immediate context, functioning as background for main events or themes in a larger context. (chs. 4 and 5). This dissertation concludes that a traditional understanding for the perfect has more explanatory power than Porter's suggestions of "frontground" (the highest prominence) in a larger context.
