<<This coming November there will be a panel at ETS discussing
bilingualism, biglossia, and the Greek NT. My paper is on
penteglossia [high and low Greek, high and low Hebrew, Aramaic
(we don't high a high/low situation with Aramaic, they were writing
close to what they were speaking, it appears. Greek and Hebrew, on the
other hand had both literary registers and spoken registers that were
distinct and recognizable even if inevitably on some kind of scalar cline.)]
All y'all come now ta N'Orleans.

What sort of speech, then, bewrayed Simon Peter? Was it not a backwoods spoken variety of Aramaic that differed from the more official standard of Jerusalem?
