In this volume Andrew Chin Hei Leong shows that the concepts of balance, alliance, and completeness form the basic semantic structure of שׁלם. Previous studies on שׁלם employed either historical or textual methodology, which has been dominant in biblical lexical studies. In addition to these methods, in Leong develops a systematic semantic methodology from Cognitive Semantics and Frame Semantics, to demonstrate that it is balance, rather than completeness, that is the most central concept in holding the semantic network together.Studies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;Volume 104.Shlm (The Hebrew root)Shlm (The Hebrew root)492.456Leong Andrew Chin Hei1690143MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816635103321A cognitive semantic study of biblical Hebrew4065692UNINA
