Johnstone identifies and discusses repetitive features on every level of analysis. Writers in Arabic use lexical couplets consisting of conjoined synonyms, which create new semantic paradigms as they evoke old ones. Morphological roots and patterns are repeated at close range, and this creates phonological rhyme as well. Regular patterns of paraphrase punctuate texts, and patterns of parallelism mark the internal structure of their segments. Johnstone offers an explanation for how repetition of all these kinds can serve persuasive ends by creating rhetorical presence, and discusses how the Arabic language and the Arab-Islamic cultural tradition especially lend themselves to this rhetorical strategy. She suggests, however, that discourse repetition serves a crucial function in the ecology of any language, as the mechanism by which speakers evoke and create underlying paradigmatic structure in their syntagmatic talk and writing. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/pbns.18.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027250285.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027250285.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/pbns.18.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/pbns.18.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/pbns.18.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/pbns.18.hb.png 01 01 JB code pbns.18.01ack 06 10.1075/pbns.18.01ack Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Acknowledgments Acknowledgments 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.02not 06 10.1075/pbns.18.02not Miscellaneous 2 01 04 Note on Transliteration Note on Transliteration 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.03int 06 10.1075/pbns.18.03int 1 Introduction 3 01 04 Introduction Introduction 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.04par 06 10.1075/pbns.18.04par 11 Chapter 4 01 04 Paradigmatic Structure and Parallelistic Discourse Paradigmatic Structure and Parallelistic Discourse 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.05lex 06 10.1075/pbns.18.05lex 37 Calendar 5 01 04 Lexical Couplets and Semantic Paradigms Lexical Couplets and Semantic Paradigms 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.06mor 06 10.1075/pbns.18.06mor 53 Chapter 6 01 04 Morphological Repetition Morphological Repetition 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.07par 06 10.1075/pbns.18.07par 77 Chapter 7 01 04 Paraphrase and rhetorical Presentation Paraphrase and rhetorical Presentation 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.08par 06 10.1075/pbns.18.08par 97 Chapter 8 01 04 Parallelism and Parataxis Parallelism and Parataxis 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.09rea 06 10.1075/pbns.18.09rea 109 Chapter 9 01 04 Reasons for Repetition: Sources of Constraints on Arabic Discourse Reasons for Repetition: Sources of Constraints on Arabic Discourse 01 eng 01 01 JB code pbns.18.10ref 06 10.1075/pbns.18.10ref 123 Miscellaneous 10 01 04 References References 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/pbns.18 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 19910816 C 1991 John Benjamins Publishing Company 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 6 22 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 99.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 83.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 6 22 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 149.00 USD 197013748 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code P&bns 18 GE 15 9789027282941 06 10.1075/pbns.18 00 EA E133 10 01 JB code P&bns 02 JB code 0922-842X 02 18.00 01 02 Pragmatics & Beyond New Series Pragmatics & Beyond New Series 01 01 Repetition in Arabic Discourse Repetition in Arabic Discourse 1 A01 01 JB code 783 Barbara Johnstone Johnstone, Barbara Barbara Johnstone Texas A & M University 01 eng 11 142 03 03 viii 03 00 130 03 24 JB code LIN.AFAS Afro-Asiatic languages 24 JB code LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB code LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB code LIN.SOCIO Sociolinguistics and Dialectology 10 LAN009000 12 CF 01 06 03 00 In this examination of expository prose in contemporary Arabic, structural and semantic repetition is found to be responsible both for linguistic cohesion and for rhetorical force.
