Penner determines whether Qumran Hebrew finite verbs are primarily temporal, aspectual, or modal. Standard grammars claim Hebrew was aspect-prominent in the Bible, and tense-prominent in the Mishnah. But the semantic value of the verb forms in the intervening period in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were written has remained controversial. Penner answers the question of Qumran Hebrew verb form semantics using an empirical method: a database calculating the correlation between each form and each function, establishing that the ancient author’s selection of verb form is determined not by aspect, but by tense or modality. Penner then applies these findings to controversial interpretations of three Qumran texts.Studia Semitica Neerlandica ;Volume 64.Hebrew languageVerbHebrew languageGrammarElectronic books.Hebrew languageVerb.Hebrew languageGrammar.492.456Penner Ken M.889789MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910494608703321The verbal system of the Dead Sea scrolls2467691UNINA
