Abstract:

In "The Shape of Hebrew Poetry", Matthew Ayars explores foregrounding and
structural cohesion as the dual discourse function of linguistic parallelism
in biblical Hebrew poetry through a robust application of Russian Formalist
Roman Jakobson's conceptulisation of linguistic parallelism to the Egpytian
Hallel (Psalm 113–118). Other hebraists and biblical Hebrew poetry specialists
have long noted the importance of Jakobson's theory of parallelism for poetic
texts of the Hebrew Bible, however, Ayars is the first to offer an application
of Jakobsonian-based analysis to a poetic corpus of the Hebrew Bible.
