Formulaic phraseology presents the epitome of words worn and
weathered by trial and the tests of time. Scholarship on weathered
words is exceptionally diverse and interdisciplinary. This volume
focuses on verbal art, which makes Oral-Formulaic Theory (OFT) a
major point of reference. Yet weathered words are but a part of
OFT, and OFT is only a part of scholarship on weathered words. Each
of the eighteen essays gathered here brings particular aspects of
formulaic language into focus. No volume on such a diverse topic
can be all-encompassing, but the essays highlight aspects of the
phenomenon that may be eclipsed elsewhere: they diverge not only in
style, but sometimes even in how they choose to define "formula."
As such, they offer overlapping frames that complement one another
both in their convergences and their contrasts. While they view
formulaicity from multifarious angles, they unite in a Picasso of
perspectives on which the reader can reflect and draw insight.
