A. Berlin | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

For years scholars of biblical poetry have defined parallelism as thesimple correspondence of one verse, phrase, or word with another. In this book, Adele Berlin approaches biblical parallelism as a linguistic phenomenon, as acomplex interplay among all aspects of language. Her goal is to get at the basics ofwhat biblical parallelism is and how it works. Berlin's examination of thegrammatical, lexical, semantic, phonetic, structural, and psychological aspects ofparallelism yields an elegantly simple model that reveals the complex workings ofthis phenomenon. Her book will be a valuable guide for both scholars and students ofbiblical poetry.
