A Discourse Style of Jesus of Nazareth

Abstract

This paper investigates the discourse style of Jesus of Nazareth. The features of style of his discourse that will be investigated in this paper are the logical, the journalese, the scheme of verbal repetition, the jurisprudence and the discrete and selective use of diction. 
The paper argues that the linguistic structures, which the Great Reformer has used in teaching his audience, significantly contribute to his success as a great and respected teacher as well as the greatest man who ever walked our earth. It therefore calls on the 
classroom teacher to emulate his fine example as a skillful and versatile teacher, who is knowledgeable and master of his discipline. This essay is a sociolinguistic study because sociolinguistics, among other things, has to do with language and society and society in 
language. Some recommendations are made, which we hope will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of teachers at all levels of education.
