Document Summary

Ff bible - performance criticism of the hebrew bible. The hebrew bible has been criticised of being variations of the original compositions in terms of performance and orality. Performance can be a particular type of orality and so the first step in determining the applicability of performance criticism to a literary text is detecting the clues of orality that remain in the literary text. Some of those clues include the language of immediacy, dialogue, spontaneity, and face-to-face" constructions that employ a denser number of verbs when compared to more distant and formal linguistic characteristics common in literary texts.
