Penner determines whether Qumran Hebrew finite verbs are primarily temporal, aspectual, or modal. Standard grammars claim Hebrew was aspect-prominent in the Bible, and tense-prominent in the Mishnah. But the semantic value of the verb forms in the intervening period in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were written has remained controversial. Penner answers the question of Qumran Hebrew verb form semantics using an empirical method: a database calculating the correlation between each form and each function, establishing that the ancient author?s selection of verb form is determined not by aspect, but by tense or modality. Penner then applies these findings to controversial interpretations of three Qumran texts. 410 0$aStudia Semitica Neerlandica$v64. 606 $aHebrew language$xVerb 606 $aHebrew language$xGrammar 615 0$aHebrew language$xVerb. 615 0$aHebrew language$xGrammar. 676 $a492.4/56 700 $aPenner$b Ken M$0889789 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962984803321 996 $aThe verbal system of the Dead Sea scrolls$93999465 997 $aUNINA
