- Abstract
- Whereas scholarship has engaged in depth with the formulaic struc-ture of non-literary texts such as private letters, less attention has been paid to the variations we can find to that fixed structure. In this contribution, I propose a framework to describe such variations, distinguishing between reformulations, additions, omissions, repetitions, combinations, and displacements. My discus-sion of these procedures will be embedded in an approach that is not only more quantitative than has been the case in previous research, but also more aware of the different levels involved in the description of epistolary patterns. An im-portant distinction in this regard is that between discourse structure and the formulaic realization of discourse structure.
