Sentences are miscellaneous
September 20th, 2007 by David Weinberger
Rico at RicoBlog intersects EiM with discourse analysis and discourse grammar, about which I know nothing. He refers to Stephen h. Levinsohn’s The Relevance of Greek Discourse Studies to Exegesis, which talks about the tendency for sentences to place the non-verbal elements that convey established info before the ones that convey new info. (I don’t know which non-verbal elements Levinsohn is referring to since the article is about the Greek version of the New Testament.) Rico relates this to what EiM says about going through one’s mail. So, even though I don’t know enough to understand it, I enjoyed Rico’s leap.
