Recent advances in cognitive linguistics provide new avenues for
reading and interpreting Biblical Hebrew prophetic text. This
volume utilises a multi-layered cognitive linguistics approach to
explore Jeremiah 1:1-6:30, incorporating insights from cognitive
grammar, cognitive science and conceptual blending theory. While
the modern reader is separated from the originators of these texts
by time, space and culture, this analysis rests on the theory that
both the originators and the modern reader share common features of
embodied experience. This opens the way for utilising cognitive
models, conceptual metaphor and mental spaces theory when reading
and interpreting ancient texts. This volume provides an
introduction to cognitive theory and method. Initially, short
examples from Jeremiah 1:1-6:30 are used to introduce the theory
and method. This is followed by a detailed comparison of
traditional and cognitive approaches to Biblical Hebrew grammar.
These insights are then applied to further examples taken from
Jeremiah 1:1-6:30 in order to test and refine the approach. These
findings show that Jeremiah 1:1-1:3 establishes perspective for the
text as a whole and that subsequent shifts in perspective may be
tracked using aspects of mental spaces theory. Much of the textual
content yields to concepts derived from conceptual metaphor studies
and from conceptual blending theory, which are introduced and
explained using examples taken from Jeremiah 1:1-6:30. The entire
analysis demonstrates some of the strengths and weaknesses of using
recent cognitive theories and methods for analysing and
interpreting ancient texts. While such theories and methods do not
obviate the need for traditional interpretive methods, they do
provide a more nuanced understanding of the ancient text.
