Greek Conjunctions Resource?
Looking for a work on the functions of Greek conjunctions (cue the Saturday morning cartoon somebody!) such as “continuative,” “connective,” “contrastive,” etc. Or, perhaps a
I already own virtually every Lexicon known to mankind so I‘m already aware of what they have to say.
I suspect that I won’t find better material dealing specifically with the varying conjunctions such as KAI, DE, GAR, etc.—but just wanted to check to see if y’all knew of anything in this vein (sort of like Harris’s tome on proper & improper Greek prepositions...only for conjunctions).
Thank you in advance!

What about Greek Grammars like "Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics" which has a 12 (paper) page discussion?

You might want to review chapter 2 of this if you have it:
Runge, Steven E. Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament: A Practical Introduction for Teaching and Exegesis. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2010.

More toward the practical impact, and you may already have this volume. I've enjoyed it:

1. Author is incorrect for this resource--look at the cover and the book description StephanIE, not Stephan.
2. This work opened my eyes to consider continuation/contrast and the understanding that Matthew's use of conjunctions in Narrative may not be consistent with other genre and other authors.
3. Some of Stephanie's work is available in good journals.
a review of Stephanie's dissertation is available in Themelios (available in Logos) at https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/review/sentence-conjunctions-in-the-gospel-of-matthew-kai-de-tote-gar-oun-and-asyndeton-in-narrative-discourse/

Okay—Excellent.
Didn’t even think about the grammars (Can you tell I’m rusty in original languages?).
Also looking into the work posted by Denise & David (a tad $$ but definitely has my interest piqued).
Thank you again.
