Reihe: Linguistic Biblical Studies

This book is to study the New Testament from the insights of modern linguistics. Its principal concern, above all, is to examine how the Gospel of Mark procuded in oral-aural cultures may be illuminated by frame theory from cognitive linguistics, a linguistic theory which the meaning of a word, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph and a thematic unit can only be properly understood against the background of a particular body of knowledge and assmptions. The reason this theory is particulary useful for understanding Mark's ancient text is because as an oral-aural narrative it heavily relies on human memory(cognitive) resources; and so the cogntive theory leads us into a better understanding of ways in which the text is communicated in terms of cognitive processing.

Zielgruppe

All those interesed in modern linguist theory and its application into biblical text, and the oral-aural features of Mark's Gospel.
