Inhaltsangabe

'Studies in Adverbs. Encounters in the Written Register of News and the Bible Books' challenges the notion of adverbs as marginalized elements within sentences. In the domain of persuasive writing, where trust may be inherently fragile, adverbs play a pivotal role in engendering a sense of credibility and authority, assuming a pivotal role in shaping discourse by emphasizing evidence, imparting authority, and influencing reader perceptions. The book investigates the pragmatic functions of adverbs, focusing on their distinctive patterns in not only tabloid and traditional journalistic formats, but also in the books of the Bible. While acknowledging the Bible's distinct nature as a literary and religious text, the author bridges the realms of linguistics and biblical scholarship, revealing how the strategic placement of adverbs within the gospels and other books may encode subtle layers.
