Understanding biblical Hebrew verb forms : distribution and function across genres / Robert E. Longacre and Andrew C. Bowling. Dallas, TX ; SIL International; c2015. xii, 642 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm. SIL International publications in linguistics ; 151 Includes bibliographical references (pages 629-632) and index. "This work is the first thorough study of tense, aspect, and modality (TAM) in light of the discourse functions of biblical Hebrew. Commonly used grammars of biblical Hebrew treat each verb tense or aspect form with little attention to their different functions in different discourse genres in which they occur. Building on classical and recent studies of Hebrew grammar, this volume presents more than 375 examples from 28 Old Testament books that demonstrate correlations between discourse genre and verb function. These show that every Hebrew verb tense or aspect has a natural home in certain types of discourse, and when that form is used elsewhere than its natural context, it marks some special point. This book helps Bible translators and newcomers to Hebrew studies toward a well-grounded understanding of the functions of verb forms, while challenging advanced specialists to reassess and refine their understanding of biblical Hebrew texts."--Back cover.
