Elizabeth Robar's analysis provides the best solution to this point, combining cognitive linguistics, cross-linguistics, diachronic and synchronic analysis. Her solution is brilliant, innovative, and supremely satisfying in interpreting all the data with great explanatory power. Let us hope this research will be quickly implemented in grammars of Hebrew.\' Peter J. Gentry , Donald L. Williams Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY. In The Verb and the Paragraph in Biblical Hebrew , Elizabeth Robar employs cognitive linguistics to unravel the notorious grammatical quandary in biblical Hebrew: explaining the waw consecutive, as well as other poorly understood verbal forms (e.g. with paragogic suffixes). She explains that languages must communicate the shape of thought units: including the prototypical paragraph, with its beginning, middle and ending; and its message. She demonstrates how the waw consecutive is both simpler and more nuanced than often argued. It neither foregrounds nor is a preterite, but it enables highly embedded textual structures. She also shows how allegedly anomalous forms may be used for thematic purposes, guiding the reader to the author?s intended interpretation for the text as it stands. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;$vVolume 78. 606 $aHebrew language$xVerb 606 $aHebrew language$xParagraphs 606 $aCognitive grammar 615 0$aHebrew language$xVerb. 615 0$aHebrew language$xParagraphs. 615 0$aCognitive grammar. 676 $a492.4/56 700 $aRobar$b Elizabeth$01093964 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820450903321 996 $aThe verb and the paragraph in biblical Hebrew$93917500 997 $aUNINA
