Starting with chapters that provide background information on the evolution and sociolinguistic setting of the language, the bulk of the book is devoted to usage-based studies of the morphology, lexicon, and syntax of current Hebrew. Based primarily on original analyses of authentic spoken and online materials, these studies reflect varied theoretical frames-of-reference that are largely model-neutral in approach. To this end, the book presents a functionally motivated, dynamic approach to actual usage, rather than providing strictly structuralist or formal characterizations of particular linguistic systems. Such a perspective is particularly important in the case of a language undergoing accelerated processes of change, in which the gap between prescriptive dictates of the Hebrew Language Establishment and the actual usage of educated, literate but non-expert speaker-writers of current Hebrew is constantly on the rise"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHebrew language$xUsage 615 0$aHebrew language$xUsage. 676 $a492.45 702 $aBerman$b Ruth Aronson 702 $aDattner$b Elitzur 702 $aGrossman$b Eitan$f1975- 702 $aNir$b Bracha 702 $aReshef$b Yael 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815517503321 996 $aUsage-based studies in modern Hebrew$94112778 997 $aUNINA
