| Summary: | Johannine style has been discussed by some scholars mainly in terms of Semitisms and related grammatical peculiarities. Should these features be classified as stylistic, however? Other scholars have restricted their remarks to the relative absence of rhetorical figures of speech, such as advocated by the earlier Greek orators. But figures of speech are merely one aspect of style. Style involves a much wider range of items, for style pertains to an author's choice from among the various possibilities of expression offered by the language. Style also extends beyond sentence boundaries; it involves the structure of the total discourse. |
