In Biblical Hebrew Grammar Visualized, Andersen and Forbes approach
the grammar of Biblical Hebrew from the perspective of corpus
linguistics. Their pictorial representations of the clauses making
up the biblical texts show the grammatical functions (subject,
object, and so on) and semantic roles (surrogate, time interval,
and so on) of clausal constituents, as well as the grammatical
relations that bind the constituents into coherent structures. The
book carefully introduces the Andersen-Forbes approach to text
preparation and characterization. It describes and tallies the
kinds of phrases and clauses encountered across all of Biblical
Hebrew. It classifies and gives examples of the major constituents
that form clauses, focusing especially on the grammatical functions
and semantic roles. The book presents the structures of the
constituents and uses their patterns of incidence both to examine
constituent order ("word order") and to characterize the relations
among verb corpora. It expounds in detail the characteristics of
quasiverbals, verbless clauses, discontinuous and double-duty
clausal constituents, and supra-clausal structures. The book is
intended for students of Biblical Hebrew at all levels. Beginning
students will readily grasp the basic grammatical structures making
up the clauses, because these are few and fairly simple.
Intermediate and advanced students will profit from the detailed
descriptions and comparative analyses of all of the structures
making up the biblical texts. Scholars will find fresh ways of
addressing open problems, while gaining glimpses of new research
approaches and topics along the way.
