Page "Gemara" Paragraph 6

The analysis of the Amoraim is generally focused on clarifying the positions, words and views of the Tannaim.

These debates and exchanges form the " building-blocks " of the gemara ; the name for such a passage of gemara is a sugya ( סוגיא ; plural sugyot ).

A sugya will typically comprise a detailed proof-based elaboration of the Mishna.

Every aspect of the Mishnaic text is treated as a subject of close investigation.

This analysis is aimed at an exhaustive understanding of the Mishna's full meaning.
