	[No title]
		Prolepsis is an English word that comes from the Greek, as you might have guessed, and it means to throw forward, like a forward pass in football.
		So a prolepsis is something that comes before its time, something that comes before it's supposed to.
		What we're asking is a prolepsis: Give us today, we're praying, the gifts we normally wouldn't get until tomorrow, until heaven, that is. Spin out the meaning of that and your mind begins to boggle.

	PICA - Toni Wilkinson - Prolepsis (2005)
		Toni Wilkinson has found an apt title for her latest exhibition of photographic work; Prolepsis is “the representation of something happening before it actually does, as in, he was a dead man when he entered”.
		‘Prolepsis’ is a rhetorical device in which an expected future event or characteristic is presented as though it was an already accomplished fact.
		Those high-minded slogans, usually matched with a crest and emblazoned on the hats, bags, chests and ideally, the hearts of dutifully dressed school children, are designed to portray the ideals and values that these students will aspire to live by.

	Definition: Analepsis and Prolepsis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In other words, these are ways in which a narrative's discourse re-order's a given story: by "flashing back" to an earlier point in the story (analepsis) or "flashing forward" to a moment later in the chronological sequence of events (prolepsis).
		The classic example of prolepsis is prophecy, as when Oedipus is told that he will sleep with his mother and kill his father.
		However, as we learn at the very end of the film, that scene also doubles as a prolepsis, since the dying man the boy is seeing is, in fact, himself.

	Refutation
		Refutation is a two-part mechanism, then, starting first with the anticipation of the opposition (Prolepsis) and, second, with the actual dismantling of that viewpoint.
		Prolepsis is really the simple marriage of anticipation and summary--anticipate a camp (Paper 3, remember?) and summarize one particularly good example of that camp.
		From our Prolepsis paragraph, you will notice the that we have "Responded" to the assumption of the text (Daschele's answer to an interviewer) and have gone on to show how and where this is an invalid assumption on the part of the many who would disagree with us.

	"A Letter from the Artistic Director on The Well-Appointed Room" by Martha Lavey (Backstage magazine, 2005-2006 Vol. 2) ...
		The occupants of âthe well-appointed roomâ are two married couples: in âNostalgia,â a playwright and his wife; in âProlepsis,â and accountant and his pregnant wife.
		That date was a moment that divided time in the American consciousness, a moment that produced a distinct sense of âbeforeâ and âafter.â It was a moment that encouraged both nostalgia (a wistful yearning for return to some past period or irrecoverable condition) and prolepsis (the assumption of a future act as if presently existing).
		The couple in âProlepsis,â Mark and Gretchen, meet in the year 2000, in New York City, at a bus stop in the rain.

	Books In Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I had thought that Pannenberg intended his notion of prolepsis as a piece of revisionary metaphysics, as integral to a reconstrual of time itself.
		Pannenberg's notion of prolepsis, I now realize, is fully coherent with usual understandings of time and eternity.
		So in the present volume Pannenberg uses the notion to deal with the gospel's claim that the cross of Christ made atonement for the whole world, and with the contrary present state of the world, which does not look to be at one with God or itself.

		Prolepsis is the on-line book review journal for English studies.
		Prolepsis publishes reviews of new and recent work in English studies, a field we consider to be spacious and varied.
		Many of these studies deserve to be acknowledged internationally; a review in English, available world-wide and with the speed we intend to make our hallmark, can help generate interest in work that would otherwise be confined to one country's academic community.

		Of course, it was also true that the national record industry hadn't come looking for them, either, and their recognition of this was apparent in the record's title.
		Give Us a Break, of course, had had two possible meanings, one of which was the desire for the opportunity that would give Arrogance success; Prolepsis is a word referring to something that is anachronistic or not in its proper time, usually because it anticipates what is going to happen.
		On the basis of these songs, Arrogance could be thought of a throwback in the sense that their music still recalled the country-rock of Buffalo Springfield and Poco, to the extent that, for example, "North End of Town" was a square-dance hoedown.

	-yourDictionary.com - Word of the Day
		"Prolepsis" means: (1) the presentation of a future potentiality as an accomplished fact, (2) a response to criticism in advance of hearing it, and (3) placing a redundant descriptive phrase, that refers to a term in the middle of the sentence, at the head of the sentence.
		Has anyone ever told you, "If you touch my beer, you're toast!" They are not lying, even though you are not toast at the time, but they are displaying their proleptic (the adjective) side.
		Etymology: Late Latin prolepsis from Greek prolambanein "to anticipate" based on pro- "before" + lambanein, lep- "to take." The Greek root is ostensibly akin to English "latch" but few other relationships have been established.

		The pictures in this commercial serve as prolepsis for what the country would be like if Kerry were to be President.

		Analepsis is the narratological term for what is more commonly called "flashback." It is thus one way in which a narrative's discourse re-order's a given story.
		The corresponding term is prolepsis, which refers to those instances when a later event in a narrative is presented before it has actually happened in the story.
		The classic example is prophecy, as when Oedipus is told that he will sleep with his mother and kill his father.

		My necktie is, you might say, a preview of coming attractions, discernable only to the eyes of faith.
		Now that is at least part of the meaning of prolepsis, as I understand the word: something that arrives ahead of time, before it's supposed to come.
		And an eschatological prolepsis would relate that splendid notion to the coming of the Dominion of God, that "Kingdom" which "comes indeed of itself, without our prayer; but we pray...that it may come also to us..."

		The desire to map the quantum function of consciousness, as we map a wave function or particle, becomes the principal obstacle between consciousness and science.
		In my judgment, this becomes difficult because consciousness works as a rapid “prolepsis,” or future reality now.
		It refers to how the author may tell the reader in summary form what the argument will be that follows, as a brief abstract at the beginning of a technical report.

		Steven Schaufele, Query: French prolepsis vs. Italian topicalization

		The latter he notes is quite com- mon in all Romance languages including both French and Italian, but for the former his examples are all from English.) Am i right in thinking that prolepsis is easier/more common than topi- calization in French and that the opposite tendency is characteristic of Italian?

		For Cioffi, the entire essay should be guided by a process of questioning.
		Borrowing from classical Greek terminology, he uses the term erotesis to describe the opening up of "a wide variety and a large number of questions of all kinds," while he uses the term prolepsis for the act of "anticipating--inferring what kind of questions, and even exactly what questions, might interest the audience" (92).
		Where erotesis casts a wide net over the kinds of issues to explore, as in brainstorming, prolepsis eventually reins in ideas and promotes audience oriented rhetorical choices.
