A Frame is somewhat morespecific and also more complex than a presupposition.Looking at Jd 5-7 MT we see several frames introduced in short succession:In Jd 5, OTI O KURIOS LAON EK GHS AIGUPTOU SWSAS introduces the Exodus as aFrame***. I am going to break some rules and claim that the topic here isthe entire O KURIOS LAON EK GHS AIGUPTOU SWSAS and that the comment overlapsthe topic. The comment being: LAON EK GHS AIGUPTOU SWSAS TO DEUTERON TOUSMH PISTEUSANTAS APWLESEN. If this analysis seems untidy, then perhaps weshould suggest O KURIOS as the topic but I have problems with that.In Jd 6, AGGELOUS TE TOUS MH THRHSANTAS THN EAUTWN ARCHN ALLA APOLIPONTASTO IDION OIKHTHRION introduces a new Frame the details of which are found inGen 6 and 1Enoch. Here the topic again is AGGELOUS . . . and the commentis: KRISIN MEGALHS HMERAS DESMOIS AIDIOIS UPO ZOFON TETHRHKEN.In Jd 7, SODOMA KAI GOMORRA KAI AI PERI AUTAS POLEIS introduces a newFrame and are also the topic. The fate of SODOMA KAI GOMORRA is the comment:TON OMOION TOUTOIS TROPON EKPORNEUSASAI KAI APELQOUSAI OPISW SARKOS ETERASPROKEINTAI DEIGMA PUROS AIWNIOU DIKHN UPECOUSAI.This analysis isn’t perfect. Perhaps the topics need to be reduced in thefirst two examples to O KURIOS and AGGELOUS. I will not argue about that.The main point is that a Frame is something more complex and subtle than apresupposition. A Frame is a whole system of concepts which are introducedto the discourse as a package. Once the frame is instantiated (brought intoaction) the whole complex system of notions associated with that Framebecome “active” in the discourse.Obviously I am still sorting all this stuff out. I am sure that the guyslike Wayne and Iver will find numerous things wrong here but progress,however slow, seems to be made over time by trying to put these ideas towork on real texts.greetings, Clay– Clayton Stirling BartholomewThree Tree PointP.O.

Am I on the right track here?Warren,Yes you are on the right track. A topos sounds like it would be a subset ofthe more abstract cognitive concept of a frame. A frame need not haveanything to do with literature. If someone walks up to me in Seahurst Parkand says “Fine Day,” and I respond “the barometer is dropping.” Barometerdoes not need to be introduction into the discourse as a new item since thestatement “Fine Day” has activated the frame Weather.Jd 4 PAREISEDUSAN GAR TINES ANQRWPOIOI PALAI PROGEGRAMMENOI EIS TOUTO TO KRIMAASEBEIS THN TOU QEOU HMWN CARIN METATIQENTES EIS ASELGEIANKAI TON MONON DESPOTHN QEON KAIKURION HMWN IHSOUN CRISTON ARNOUMENOIIn Jude we see frames within frames.Jd 4PAREISEDUSAN GAR TINES ANQRWPOIOI PALAI PROGEGRAMMENOI EIS TOUTO TO KRIMAKRIMA is a frame which stays active through out the middle portion of theletter. KRIMA is introduced in verse 4 as if it were “old information” witha demonstrative pronoun TOUTO. This raises the question, why is KRIMAreferenced as if the frame was already active? Perhaps the answer to this isthat TOUTO is not anaphoric here but is performing a presentationalfunction. Once the KRIMA frame is active then Jude cites examples (Exodus, Sodom,Angels). Each example takes advantage of the KRIMA frame being active. Judedoes not need to waste a lot of words explaining these three examples in5-7. They all function cognitively within the KRIMA frame which contains acomplex structure of shared information necessary to make sense of theexamples. Within the KRIMA frame, each example (Exodus, Sodom, Angels) points to aninformation structure including literary and historical information whichcan be thought of as shared “stories.” These stories function as frameswithin the KRIMA frame. The activation of the Exodus, Sodom, Angels framesallows Jude to abbreviate his allusions. Without the Frames these referenceswould be extremely cryptic.Keep in mind that I am just sort of muddling through here with some wildstabs in the dark so to speak. BTW, I don’t think Levinsohn actuallydiscusses Frames, at least I don’t remember seeing him use the term.Thanks for the question.Greetings,Clay — Clayton Stirling BartholomewThree Tree PointP.O.
