The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton's Callirhoe and The Acts of The Apostles

This document summarizes Adrian T. Smith's book "The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton's Callirhoe and the Acts of the Apostles". The book applies cross-linguistic research on how narrators introduce direct speech to the works of Chariton and the Acts of the Apostles. Smith finds that narrators vary quotation formulae for pragmatic purposes like tracking conversational dynamics using "marked" and "unmarked" devices. The book provides insights into Koine Greek language, discourse analysis, and comparative linguistics.

The Representation of Speech Events in

Chariton’s Callirhoe and the Acts of the


Apostles
Author: Adrian T. Smith

In The Representation of Speech Events in Chariton's Callirhoe and the


Acts of the Apostles, Adrian T. Smith summarizes cross-linguistic
research on how and why narrators vary the formulae that introduce
direct speech. This research is applied to Chariton and to Acts. The
ndings demonstrate that narrators vary quotation formulae for
numerous pragmatic purposes, including the tracking of conversational
dynamics via a set of 'marked' and 'unmarked' quotation devices.
