Description
Summary:On the basis of the recent edition of Dialogue 1 by J. C. Johnson and M. J.

The interpretation of Dialogue 1 as a verbal contest between two schoolboys of rather unequal rhetorical proficiency is based on a rhetorical analysis of the dialogue and a more systematic contextualisation within the corpus of Sumerian literary disputations and related compositions.
