Title: The Word Order of the Gospel of Luke: Its Foregrounded Messages By: Ivan Shing Chung Kwong Format: Hardcover Number of Pages: 251 Vendor: T&T Clark Publication Date: 2005 | Dimensions: 9.46 X 6.18 X 1.02 (inches) Weight: 1 pound 3 ounces ISBN: 0567030512 ISBN-13: 9780567030511 Series: Library of New Testament Studies Stock No: WW030511 |
This work studies the word order of the Gospel of Luke and some of its prominent messages with consideration of systemic functional linguistic theories.
The first part of the work focuses on the relative positions of four constituents (subject, predicate, complement and circumstantial adjunct) of different types of Lukan clauses (independent, dependent, infinitival, participial and embedded clause). The result gives some unmarked (typical or common) word order patterns and some marked word order patterns of all Lukan clauses.
The second part traces the foregrounded messages of the Gospel based on their related marked word order patterns incorporated with functional linguistic phenomena. The result highlights the messages of Jesus' disciples and his parents' failure in understanding him, Pilate's crime of handing over Jesus and Jesus' predictions of his future sufferings and Peter's future failure.
