Enter the Dragon

English has the phrasing “enter <character>”, originally and I guess
still used as a stage direction, but also metaphorically in all
sorts of contexts--including the movie title I used in the subject.

But what _is_ “enter”, grammatically speaking, in “enter the dragon”,
“enter Hamlet” etc.?

(1) A verb in the imperative. Faites entrer le dragon.
Semantically a straightforward command.

(2) A verb in the subjunctive. Que le dragon entre.
A hortative use of the subjunctive.

(3) A fossilized expression that can no longer be analyzed as a
verb synchronically and is best taken sui generis.

Ideas?

I vote for this one. A transitive meaning of 'to enter'. Push the
actor on stage in spite of his stage freight, he HAS to act NOW.

[Stage freight? Stage fright. Freight train. Vrachtwagen,
*vrachttrein, vrachtwagon, goederenwagon, goederentrein.]

I'm inclined to reject this one because "enter" isn't transitive in
that sense:

We entered Spot in the dog show. -- OK
We entered Spot. -- syntactic but not nice

(2) A verb in the subjunctive. Que le dragon entre.
A hortative use of the subjunctive.
I agree with this one.

I agree with this one too, derived from (2).

Good point, & now that you mention it, those are not subjunctive.
"Exeunt Rosencrantz & Guildenstern" just means "R & G go out"
(indicative).

So why have we half-translated (preserving Latin word order) one of
them ("enter Hamlet" for "introit Hamlet")?

As a fundraiser, the New York Classic Theatre (which does Shakespeare in various

shows run about six weeks, so that was presumably about 30 hefty contributions.

The way it's done in French churches -- especially the special-dispensation pre-Vatican II

Even Paul did not found a church - he founded churches.

I think Ignataios was the person that brought the very idea of
bishops to Rome and the bishop of Rome was mere one among many
for several centuries. It is a bit more uncertain but I feel
First Corinthians was sent by bishop-free Rome to urge the
Corinthians to give up their newly-created bishop and go back
to the good old ways. But Ignataios converted the church in
Rome to the new way of thinking.

Getting even more speculative I see the Romans electing
Telesphoros pope and the bishop of Rome and bishop of
Asia (Ignataios) dying together as martyrs in the
Colosseum. A historical romance never written.

Right, so I take it you do not believe in religious freedom, in
freedom of the conscience. You are a religious dictator. Everybody has
to bow for the Pope and the Spanish Inquisition.

Believe me, we won't. You are out of luck.

Do you also not allow me to be an atheist now, by my own free choice?

There too, you are out of luck. Your will means nothing, I and we will

That's our freedom, now within the EU.

This is funny. You present yourself as a devout catholic, a

support and recognise your own pope, the successor of Saint Pierre
who, in your words, founded the church on behalf of Jesus Christ in

Bergoglio, by the way, is clearly an Italian name (Spanish spelling
would be: Bergollo, Portuguese Bergolho), so he's back in the homeland

Bergoglio is a Leftist, gnosticist and Satanist.
He'll end up into the Cloacum Maximum of the Church.
I do not even consider him a Christian, in the first place.

This is funny. You present yourself as a devout catholic, a
protestants hater and Bartholomew night supporter, but you don't even
support and recognise your own pope, the successor of Saint Pierre
who, in your words, founded the church on behalf of Jesus Christ in
person.
Really funny.
Bergoglio, by the way, is clearly an Italian name (Spanish spelling
would be: Bergollo, Portuguese Bergolho), so he's back in the homeland
now. So many Argentians are originally Italian: Piazolla, etc.
yes, his parents were Italians.
I think Bergoglio speaks Italian, but not the standard form, some northern dialect.

There's nothing funny.
The Church is completely derailed since Vatican 2 horrible council.
And this pope Bergoglio is one of the worse in history.
Some people are worried that the Bergogliesque aberrations might cause a conservative backlash.

So why have we half-translated (preserving Latin word order) one of
them ("enter Hamlet" for "introit Hamlet")?
The motet (or sentences, or whatever) sung during the procession at the start
of Mass is called the introit (two syllables, doesn't rhyme with Detroit because
the stress is on the first syllable).
Normally, the introit is sung *after* the procession is finished.
The way it's done in French churches -- especially the special-dispensation pre-Vatican II
ones you apparently prefer -- is not relevant to the usage in American RC churches or the English language.
I agree these people have nothing to do with Catholicism and the Church, founded by Jesus Christ.
Like a good Catholic, you seem never to have read the Bible. Jesus did not
"found a church."
Even Paul did not found a church - he founded churches.
of course, Jesus gave St Peter the mission of guiding the Church.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Peter

According to Catholic teaching, Peter was ordained by Jesus in the
"Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18.

CATHOLIC teaching, mind you.

En Ik zeg u ook, dat gij zijt Petrus, en op deze petra zal Ik Mijn

==
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
it.

What was the Greek word, which in English is church, but in Dutch not
kerk but gemeente?

I think Ignataios was the person that brought the very idea of
bishops to Rome and the bishop of Rome was mere one among many
for several centuries. It is a bit more uncertain but I feel
First Corinthians was sent by bishop-free Rome to urge the
Corinthians to give up their newly-created bishop and go back
to the good old ways. But Ignataios converted the church in
Rome to the new way of thinking.
Getting even more speculative I see the Romans electing
Telesphoros pope and the bishop of Rome and bishop of
Asia (Ignataios) dying together as martyrs in the
Colosseum. A historical romance never written.

St Matthew 6-18
Jesus talking to Simon-Peter: I say to thee, Simon son of Jonas, that thou art Peter (= Stone) and upon that rock I will build my Church.

So, obviously, Jesus states that he puts Simon-Peter in charge of the Church.
Note that there's a reference to the Hebrew word tzur "rock", that is used in the psalms as another name of God. So there's an equivalence God = Jesus = My rock = The Church.

Quite absurdly, Protestants who don't understand (or pretend not to) what the Church is, write my church (with little c) as if it were some kind of mundane building. Nonsense, of course.
The Church, put in the hands of Simon-Peter, is of course the Gathering of the Faithful: the Church, founded by Jesus. Chrystal clear.

No, they don't. Protestant translations (like the Dutch
Statenvertaling that I quoted) translate Greek ekklesia as something
like "communinity" (Dutch: gemeente, cognate with German Gemeinde),
which is what the Greek word meant before the Christian era:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecclesia_(ancient_Athens)>

It was more of less a parliament, a congregation, like Congress in the
US.

So Jezus commanded Petrus to establish a democratic church?

Gathering. Vergadering, bijeenkomst, meeting, assembly. All valid
word. There is something to say for all interpretations and they are
not contradictory.

OED has a note on this theatrical use:
-----------------
As to the grammatical character of ‘enter’ as a stage direction,
cf. the Latin directions in Calisto & Melibœa 1520, which has
frequently intret, exeat, and those in Udall's Roister Doister
1553, where exeat, exeant, cantent, etc. appear throughout;
also Bales' Kynge Johan: ‘Here the Kyng delevyr the crowne
to the Cardynall’, ‘Her go owt Sedwsion’, ‘Here the Pope go out’,
‘Here cum Dyssimulacyon syngyng of the letany’, etc.
-------------------
If I'm drawing the correct inferences from the forms they cite,
they are suggesting that "enter" may have originally been a subjunctive,
though as others have noted "exit" and "exeunt" are not.

them ("enter Hamlet" for "introit Hamlet")?
And why not "enters Hamlet"?
Third person -s only got tenure recently.
So why not "enterth Hamlet"?
I did not mean as opposed to -th, but as opposed to nothing at all.
What? Flipping through the verb paradigms in a textbook on Old
English, it looks like all the 3rd-person singular *indicative* forms
end in þ or vowel+þ.
Yes, the indicative 3s forms have -þ in OE, which is gradually replaced by -s.
But there is never a *zero* (unmarked) indicative 3s. That's why "enter"
requires some explanation.

That's what I thought --- thanks for the confirmation.

Yes.

English has the phrasing “enter <character>”, originally and I guess
still used as a stage direction, but also metaphorically in all
sorts of contexts--including the movie title I used in the subject.
But what _is_ “enter”, grammatically speaking, in “enter the dragon”,
“enter Hamlet” etc.?
(1) A verb in the imperative. Faites entrer le dragon.
Semantically a straightforward command.
(2) A verb in the subjunctive. Que le dragon entre.
A hortative use of the subjunctive.
(3) A fossilized expression that can no longer be analyzed as a
verb synchronically and is best taken sui generis.
Ideas?
It represents something in Latin, because they still say Exit and Exeunt.
great question!

What about
Come Christmas, we meet Santa Claus at every street corner? <<<

---- I don't think that's related.


My 1st thought about [Enter the Dragon]
was that it could be Pidgin or
Calque (like [Long time no see] ).

It sounds as though it comes from theatre, where scripts tend to read 'enter [name of character]' to signal that this character appears on stage. Hence the character name is a proper noun, even if it is one that usually functions as a normal noun, which explains the omission of the article. <<<
I guess he's talking about [Enter fool] or [Enter knave] ?

...... It seems to be a phrase taken from drama scripts that has moved into every day speech. Another example of the verb + name construction would be "Exit Gratuitous, stage left".

Historically it’s a third person indicative, even if it lacks the -s (it
may be considered to have entered English already as a fossil, but still a
third person indicative).

Oldest domicile had no entryway to enter, it was lifted for entry/egress.

This is going to be understood as: "Let the termagan in" by French speakers.
Here *entrer* is just the infinitive and *le dragon* is the postposed subject of *entrer*.
