		The Jonah mentioned in 2 Kings lived during the reign of Jeroboam II (786-746 BCE), and although the book does not represent itself as Jonah's own work, it has traditionally been ascribed to the 8th century.

	Conversation Analysis and the Book of Jonah
		Jonah's emotional response to the plant's action as described in (12c) is a response to the second part (12b), but should not itself be described as the second part.
		However, is Jonah's dialogue, just after the Lord's command to go to Nineveh and cry against her, "omitted?" If "omit" refers to taking out what was originally there, it seems to me that the narrative does not necessarily suggest that the narrator has omitted Jonah's verbal response to God.
		This methodological and theoretical contribution is illustrated by a new reading of the book Jonah, emphasizing the conversations that occur between the various characters in the narrative.
