Dear Dr. Vance,
Thank you for the term.
Fortunately, my paper does not require that the use of the "cognate accusative"
constructions be emphatic.
I'm merely tracking the recurrence of the cognate accusative construction in
Zechariah.
In other words, your observation is very helpful because it provides the
correct term, but I won't have to go back to the drawing board. In fact, if the
use of cognate accusative is not emphatic, it gives me one less feature to
address in my paper. That's great, because I was wondering WHY these cognate
accusatives would be emphatic: That is, what was the author trying to
emphasize? If there's no emphasis, I can ignore that question. That's good news.
I appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Chris Lovelace
