The review is quite positive and I will look forward to reading the book
sometime in the future.
For 'discourse-grammarians', this sounds like analysis carried out on a
broader level than syntactic 'discourse analysis', that is, more on a
"macro-discourse" level.
Anothyer note, because of the discussion on Koine pronunciation last month:
As one might assume, the 'listening' appears to refer to a strategy of
communication that was based on spoken communication. However, the "oral
patterning" appears to refer to the rhetorical (written) macro-structures
and does not relate to Koine sound patterns. That is, the book apparently
doesn't go into tiny details like the LOIPOS // LUPOS example we had on
list two months ago, but deals with larger questions like kinds and
patterns of repetition and of rhetorical questions. (based on
abstract/review) This should complement other monographs on the Greek
letter form and Pauline style.
In this sense, 'listening to the text' becomes a metaphor/double-entendre,
and a nice one at that.
