Culley discusses dynamics involved in oral composition of poetry, particularly regarding Biblical poetry, including the characteristic of parallelism, both as a composition device and as a framework within which other compositional aids would be necessary for a poet "writing" orally. Formulas, together with such devices as standard word-pairs, aided poets in composing regular lines within a literary tradition whose primary characteristic was parallelism of ideas. "Poets use formulas to build lines," Culley explains; "the line and the colon, of which the line generally has two, are the most common formal divisions of Hebrew poetry to which possible formulas and formulaic phrases would conform."Near and Middle East series ;4.POETRY / Subjects & Themes / Inspirational & ReligiousbisacshElectronic books.POETRY / Subjects & Themes / Inspirational & Religious.223.206Culley Robert C.649095MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149429903321Oral formulaic language in the biblical psalms1158947UNINA
