The presupposed narrative/historical links between speakers, or between speakers and base text, are used to clarify the meaning of their quo _6.9. The text distinguishes the level of the base text quotations from the level of the statements, whether comments or non-comments, as follows: __6.9.1. The nature of the statements or of the lemmatic order is verbalized. __6.9.2. Base text quotations have no quotation formula, but tend to be found at the beginning of a new textual unit, marked by the appearance of an __6.9.3. The sequence of components within interpretation units is: 1. quotation from base text – 2. comment statement – 3. supporting base-text like ___6.9.3.1. This sequence is changed, or the base text quotation doubled, for any Petichah-like units. __6.9.4. The text employs terms/formulae, signals of transition, hermeneutic techniques, or separation markers, including the following: ___6.9.4.1. Specialized terminology separating quotation from comment. ___6.9.4.2. Speech reports introducing the statement, used as separator. ___6.9.4.3. Other signals of the transition between quotation and comment: []. ___6.9.4.4.

Intermediary rephrasings of the lemma leading to the comment statement (see also 6.10.3). ___6.9.4.7. Verbal links or overlapping wording between adjacent quotation-comment units, using contiguous base text segments. _6.10. Comment statements reveal hermeneutic attitudes towards the base text as follows: __6.10.1. Comment statements tend to speak directly, in object-language, about the base text’s themes. ___6.10.1.1. The perspective of any first-person speaker character of the base text segment may be reproduced in the comment statement. __6.10.2. Comment statements tend to speak about the quotation only as a verbal entity, i.e. be exclusively meta-linguistic. __6.10.3. Exclusively meta-linguistic comment statements are found alongside more frequent object language comments, or are used as intermediary rephr __6.10.4. The text implies or explicates a hermeneutic stance concerning the accuracy of the base text: ___6.10.4.1. The base text wording is tacitly or explicitly treated under the assumption that it may be inaccurate/insincere/invalid. ___6.10.4.2. The base text wording is tacitly or explicitly treated under the assumption that it cannot be inaccurate/insincere/invalid. _6.11. Within the lemmatic arrangement, extended sections of text have their own principle of progression which suspends the lemmatic progression: __6.11.1. The base text quotation becomes the starting point of a set of local thematic shifts involving further quotations plus explanation/supplemen __6.11.2. There is limited but sustained thematic, narrative or lemmatic continuity (with or without further quotations), as follows: ___6.11.2.1. Another text, or a different part of the base text, is treated thematically or lemmatically as relevant to the base text quotation. ___6.11.2.2. A different base text is treated lemmatically and as independent of the base text quotation. ___6.11.2.3. A thematic order, thematic inquiry or reflection is sustained (e.g. of the type 5.6.1). ___6.11.2.4. A narrative order is sustained. ___6.11.2.5.

After one or more initial quotation-comment unit with manifest or explicit hermeneutic dependency (6.1.1/3). ___6.11.3.2. Immediately succeeding the base text quotation (with later units exhibiting hermeneutic dependency on the quotation). ____6.11.3.2.1. There are cases where a non-comment statement constitutes the only treatment of the base text quotation. _6.12. There are marked imbalances in the distribution or positioning of base text quotation-statement units at certain strategic points in a 6.1 t __6.12.1. Higher density is found at the beginning of the base text, or the beginning of the commentary/rendering text. __6.12.2. Higher density is found at the end of the base text, or the end of the commentary/rendering text. __6.12.3. Higher density is found at some other defined or strategic text position of the base text, the commentary or the rendering text. __6.12.4. The imbalance coincides with other changes: ___6.12.4.1. The occurrence of literary forms which are rare or unique for the text. ___6.12.4.2. The recurrence of units from elsewhere in the text. ___6.12.4.3. The absence of the comment component from quotations of other texts (not the base text). ___6.12.4.4. A change in the pattern of coverage of the base text by quoted segments. _6.13.

The text tends to use the sentence structure of the base text to accommodate any additional or modified object information. __6.13.4. The text creates new syntactic structures within which the words of the base text can be recognized. __6.13.5. The text places sentences which have no corresponding wording in the base text at all alongside sentences which do. __6.13.6. The text also thematizes its base text or some part of it as a verbal entity, e.g. by quoting its wording. ___6.13.6.1. Such meta-linguistic components are verbally integrated into the text’s narrative or thematic continuity, so that no lemmatic structuring of ___6.13.6.2.
