Abstract:

In A Discourse and Register Analysis of the Prophetic Book of Joel, Colin M.
Toffelmire presents a thorough analysis of the text of Joel from the
perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. While traditional explorations
of Joel generally engage the book from an historical or literary perspective,
here Toffelmire examines syntactic and semantic patterning in the book, and
builds from there toward a description of the linguistic register and context
of situation that these linguistic patterns suggest. This work also showcases
the usefulness of discourse analysis grounded in Systemic Functional
Linguistics for the analysis of ancient texts.
