Examples

“Near-synonyms: exegetical, exegetic”
“Meditation on reader-response and meaning seems tedious by comparison, and not always free from jargon: do we need to speak of a reader's 'ideational activity'? (p. 173); why do we need to 'actualize ourselves as a second and extratextual audience'? (pp. 110f.). Do we have to be told that ‘Eliciting the hermeneutical activity of characters and readers alike, oneirography like pictorial descriptions invites the inferential walk’? (p. 81).”
