520 |a This text-linguistic study focuses on a pair of particularly vivid militaristic pericopes in the prophecy of Joel, namely 2:1-11 and 3:9-16. Both of these passages are prominent for their dynamic poetry, graphic imagery, and corresponding pragmatic function within the book, namely, as a dramatic prelude to a momentous, and at the same time thematically contrastive pronouncement by the Lord God. However, the historical setting as well as the theological meaning of these two texts, among others in Joel, is strongly debated by many commentators. After a brief theoretical introduction and summary of the discourse organization of Joel, a detailed literary-structural analysis of these pericopes is presented. Their interrelated rhetorical function within the prophecy of Joel as a whole is then investigated in somewhat greater depth from the perspective of "mental space" metaphoric theory. In conclusion, several salient implications of this holistic analysis for intercultural communication are discussed, with special reference to south-central Africa.
