She also examines the tradition of interpretation for these words in the early versions (Septuagint, Vulgate, Targum, Peshitta), modern translations, and standard dictionaries, revealing that meanings are not always straightforward and that additional work is needed in biblical semantics and lexicography. The traditional approach to comparative Semitics, with its over-simplistic assumption of semantic equivalence in cognates, is also challenged. The surprising conclusion of the work is that there is no single concept of silence in the biblical world; rather, it spans multiple semantic fields". 410 0$aStudies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics;$vvolume 100. 606 $aHebrew language$xSemantics 606 $aSilence in the Bible 615 0$aHebrew language$xSemantics. 615 0$aSilence in the Bible. 676 $a492.4/0143 700 $aNoll$b Sonja$01718764 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956732003321 996 $aThe semantics of silence in biblical Hebrew$94115987 997 $aUNINA
