The discussion behind this change has continued for decades, but lacks proper linguistic footing. Parlance in grammars, dictionaries, commentaries and textbooks is often confusing. The present book seeks to remedy this defect by treating all relevant expressions from a linguistic point of view. To do this, it also discusses the understanding of Hebrew construct phrases, and finds that while there is a morphological category of genitive in Akkadian, Ugaritic and Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac do not display it. The use of this term as a syntactical category is unfortunate, and the term should be avoided in Hebrew grammar. Metaphor theory and the use of irony are also tools in the discussion of the phrases. As a result of the treatment, the author finds that there are some Hebrew construct phrases where nomen regens describes the following nomen rectum, and the description may be metaphorical, in some cases also ironical. This seems to be the case with "Daughter of Zion" and similar phrases. This understanding calls for a revision of the translation of the phrases, and new translations are suggested.Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;447.Construct state (Grammar)Hebrew languageNounWomen in the BibleConstruct state (Grammar)Hebrew languageNoun.Women in the Bible.792.4/554492.40141Kartveit Magnar1946-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911150743703321UNINA04237nam 2200637Ia 450 991114884060332120251117115327.097808157323340815732333(CKB)111087027973536(OCoLC)614570337(CaPaEBR)ebrary10063897(SSID)ssj0000136541(PQKBManifestationID)12053659(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000136541(PQKBWorkID)10082554(PQKB)11122167(OCoLC)1132226911(MdBmJHUP)muse73281(Au-PeEL)EBL3004421(CaPaEBR)ebr10063897(MiAaPQ)EBC3004421(Perlego)872380(EXLCZ)9911108702797353620041017d2002 my 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrDemocracy by disclosure the rise of technopopulism /Mary Graham1st ed.Washington, D.C.

Instead of strict rules and harsh penalties to reduce those risks, the Institute called for a system of standardized disclosure of medical errors. If it worked, it would create economic and political pressures for hospitals to improve their practices. Since the mid-1980s, Congress and state legislatures have approved scores of new disclosure laws to fight racial discrimination, reduce corruption, and improve services. The most ambitious systems aim to reduce risks in everyday life--risks from toxic pollution, contaminants in drinking water, nutrients in packaged foods, lead paint, workplace hazards, and SUV rollovers. Unlike traditional government warnings, they require corporations and other organizations to produce standardized factual information at regular intervals about risks they create. Legislated transparency has become a mainstream instrument of social policy. Mary Graham argues that these requirements represent a remarkable policy innovation. Enhanced by computers and the Internet, they are creating a new techno-populism--an optimistic conviction that information itself can improve the lives of ordinary citizens and encourage hospitals, manufacturers, food processors, banks, airlines, and other organizations to further public priorities. Drawing on detailed profiles of disclosure systems for toxic releases, nutritional labeling, and medical errors, Graham explains why the move toward greater transparency has flourished during a time of regulatory retrenchment and why corporations have often supported these massive raids on proprietary information. However, Democracy by Disclosure, sounds a cautionary note. Just as systems of financialdisclosure have come under new scrutiny in the wake of Enron's collapse, systems of social disclosure deserve car.Disclosure of informationGovernment policyUnited StatesDisclosure of informationGovernment policyUnited StatesStatesUnited StatesSocial policy1980-1993United StatesSocial policy1993-Disclosure of informationGovernment policyDisclosure of informationGovernment policyStates.361.6/1/0973Graham Mary1944-1074260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911148840603321Democracy by disclosure4844764UNINA
