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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Culley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442639598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442639591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Robert Culley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45481935667455,"sku":"9781442639591","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cba98c7d-7c58-4217-8e11-b9944e66ea3b.jpg?v=1715988107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oral-formulaic-language-in-the-robert-c-culley-9781442639591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
