Bergström applies diachronic typology and a redefined concept of aspect to demonstrate that Biblical Hebrew verbal forms have basic aspectual and derived temporal meanings and that communicative appeal, the action-triggering function of language, affects verbal semantics and promotes the diversification of tense meanings. Bergström’s overarching explanation of the semantic development of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system is an important contribution to the study of the evolution of the verbal system and meanings of individual verbs in the Hebrew Bible. Accessibly written and structured for seminar use, Bergström’s study brings new perspectives to a debate that, in many ways, had reached a stalemate, and it challenges scholars working with TAM and the Biblical Hebrew verb to revisit their theoretical premises. Advanced students and scholars of Biblical Hebrew and other Semitic languages will find the study thought provoking, and linguists will appreciate its contributions to linguistic theory and typology.Linguistic Studies in Ancient West SemiticHebrew languageSemanticsHebrew languageTenseHebrew languageAspectHebrew languageVerbHebrew languageSemantics.Hebrew languageTense.Hebrew languageAspect.Hebrew languageVerb.492.45/6Bergström Ulf1502844MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910795546903321Aspect, Communicative Appeal, and Temporal Meaning in Biblical Hebrew Verbal Forms3730860UNINA02768nas 2200745-a 450 991089587330332120240413022952.0(CKB)110978978741779(CONSER)sn-87007756-(DE-599)ZDB2048864-6(EXLCZ)9911097897874177919871125a19879999 --- aengtxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMarketing library services MLSHarrod's Creek, KY Riverside Data, Inc.1987-1 online resourceTitle from caption.Imprint varies: Harrod's Creek, KY, 1987-198 ; Sudbury, MA, <1990->; Medford, NJ <1991->Vols. for <2007-> published by Information Today, Inc.Print version: Marketing library services : 0896-3908 (DLC)sn 87007756 (OCoLC)17061891 MLSML SMark. libr. serv.LibrariesMarketingPeriodicalsInformation servicesMarketingPeriodicalsLibrariesPublic relationsPeriodicalsAdvertisingInformation servicesPeriodicalsLibrary ScienceBibliothèquesMarketingPériodiquesServices d'informationMarketingPériodiquesBibliothèquesRelations publiquesPériodiquesServices d'informationPublicitéPériodiquesAdvertisingInformation servicesfast(OCoLC)fst00797665Information servicesMarketingfast(OCoLC)fst00972723LibrariesMarketingfast(OCoLC)fst00997415LibrariesPublic relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00997423LIBRARY INFORMATION SERVICESunbistMARKETINGunbistPeriodicals.Periodicals.fastPeriodicals.lcgftLibrariesMarketingInformation servicesMarketingLibrariesPublic relationsAdvertisingInformation servicesLibrary ScienceBibliothèquesMarketingServices d'informationMarketingBibliothèquesRelations publiquesServices d'informationPublicitéAdvertisingInformation services.Information servicesMarketing.LibrariesMarketing.LibrariesPublic relations.LIBRARY INFORMATION SERVICES.MARKETING.658JOURNAL9910895873303321exl_impl conversionMarketing library services4240835UNINA
