On page 100 Heimerdinger* concludes his critique of R. Longacre's
treatment of foreground and background in narrative with a statement which
should strike terror into the hearts of a few Ph.D. candidates:
". . . the notion of foreground cannot be seen as grammaticalized in Old
Hebrew."
Just replace the words Old Hebrew with NT Greek and go back to the drawing
board and rethink the whole problem of foreground and background in
narrative.
cheers, clay
