Book Description
Developed by Ronald J. Williams over fifteen years in a formal course on Hebrew syntax at the University of Toronto, Williams Hebrew Syntax has since been widely used as an intermediate textbook in biblical Hebrew. First published in 1967, with a second edition issued in 1976, this substantially revised and expanded third edition is designed as an intermediate textbook for students of Biblical Hebrew. The guide explains the meanings of morphological categories and the way that words, phrases, and clauses relate to one another to create meaning. Expanded to meet the demands of contemporary classroom use, John C. Beckmans third edition also functions as a grammatical reference, providing updated analysis and thoroughly up-to-date cross-references to literature in the field. By providing interlinear translations and final translations for examples, the latest edition better enables students with modest vocabulary and knowledge of parsing to understand the examples and grammatical points.
Williams' Hebrew Syntax (3rd Edition)
Author: John C. Beckman
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 144269209X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Although the morphology and lexicon of Hebrew are reasonably well understood, its syntax has long been a neglected area of study. Syntax, the relationship of words to one another, forms, together with morphology, the material of grammar. Its relative importance varies according to the language considered. This is particularly true of word order, for when an inflected language loses its case endings, word order assumes many of the functions of the former cases. This outline by Professor Williams re-emphasizes the significance of word order in Hebrew. Developed over fifteen years in a formal course on Hebrew syntax at the University of Toronto, it treats the syntax of the noun, the verb, particles and clauses, with a selection of illustrative examples. Its contents are based on classical Hebrew prose, but some account is also taken of the deviations in later prose and poetry. In this new edition English translations have been provided for all Hebrew phrases and sentences, and the bibliography has been expanded.

An Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax
Author: Bruce K. Waltke
Publisher: Eisenbrauns
ISBN: 9780931464317
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 792
Book Description
Meeting the need for a textbook for classroom use after first year Hebrew grammar, Waltke and O'Connor integrate the results of modern linguistic study of Hebrew and years of experience teaching the subject in this book. In addition to functioning as a teaching grammar, this work will also be widely used for reference and self-guided instruction in Hebrew beyond the first formal year. Extensive discussion and explanation of grammatical points help to sort out points blurred in introductory books. More than 3,500 Biblical Hebrew examples illustrate the points of grammar under discussion. Four indexes (Scripture, Authorities cited, Hebrew words, and Topics) provide ready access to the vast array of information found in the 40 chapters. Destined to become a classic work, this long-awaited book fills a major gap among modern publications on Biblical Hebrew.

The Syntax of the Verb in Classical Hebrew Prose
Author: Alviero Niccacci
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567390071
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Syntax of verbs in Hebrew is fraught with problems. According to classic grammars, many Hebrew words can be translated by virtually all the finite tenses of modern languages. Such grammars include lengthy catalogs of special cases and rules for exceptional uses, which illustrate how difficult the problem of verb syntax is. In turn, translators select the equivalent tense of modern languages based more on their own interpretation than on the rules of Hebrew syntax itself. In this landmark study on the syntax of Hebrew verbs, Niccacci reexamines the fundamental linguistic categories of prose and provides a systematic classification of the forms and constructions of Hebrew verbs. A final chapter deals with tense in poetry.

A Guide to Biblical Hebrew Syntax
Author: Bill T. Arnold
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521533485
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This introduces and abridges the syntactical features of the original language of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament. Scholars have made significant progress in recent decades in understanding Biblical Hebrew syntax. Yet intermediate readers seldom have access to this progress due to the technical jargon and sometimes-obscure locations of the scholarly publications. This Guide is an intermediate-level reference grammar for Biblical Hebrew. As such, it assumes an understanding of elementary phonology and morphology, and defines and illustrates the fundamental syntactical features of Biblical Hebrew that most intermediate-level readers struggle to master. The volume divides Biblical Hebrew syntax, and to a lesser extent morphology, into four parts. The first three cover the individual words (nouns, verbs, and particles) with the goal of helping the reader move from morphological and syntactical observations to meaning and significance. The fourth section moves beyond phase-level phenomena and considers the larger relationships of clauses and sentences.
