In this book Adele Berlin analyzes parallelism, a major feature of Hebrew poetry, from a linguistic perspective. "This new edition of Berlin's study features an additional chapter, "The Range of Biblical Metaphors in Smikhut," by late Russian linguist Lida Knorina. Berlin calls this addition "innovative and instructive to those who value the linguistic analysis of poetry." It is a fitting coda to Berlin's adept analysis."--Jacket ER -
