TEXT ANALYSIS AND THE GENRE OF JONAH (PART 2) -
ERNST R. WENDLAND*
JETS 39/3 (September 1996) 373–395

Excerpt:
AN OVERVIEW OF THE DISCOURSE STRUCTURE OF JONAH
The structural outline presented below is only partial—in two respects.
(1) It does not include all of the patterned arrangements (or possible variations)
that are evident in the text of Jonah, especially those that are relatively minor in
scope or hypothetical in nature. In this latter respect each
of the linear and concentric patterns selected for display must be evaluated
in terms of the criteria of credibility given in part 1 of this paper.1
(2) Not all of the pertinent evidence in support of a given structure has
necessarily been cited. Such information reduction is needed due to the present
restrictions of space. It is hoped, however, that the sample provided is sufficient
to indicate the outstanding care and craft that this literary work manifests
in its local as well as global construction. --from the first page of the article
