Explorations in Semantic Parallelism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922144690)

This collection of eighteen papers explores issues in the study of semantic parallelism - a world-wide tradition in the composition of oral poetry. It is concerned with both comparative issues and the intensive study of a single living poetic tradition of composition in strict canonical parallelism. The papers in the volume were written at intervals from 1971 to 2014 - a period of over forty years. They are a summation of a career-long research effort that continues to take shape. The concluding essay reflects on possible directions for future research. Explorations in Semantic Parallelism also offers an enhanced epub: a downloadable ebook format with embedded video.
