In recent decades, the study of Biblical Hebrew has profited enormously from the application of methodologies derived from general linguistics. During the 16th World Congress of Jewish Studies, Adina Moshavi and Tania Notarius organized sessions devoted to exploring new developments in Biblical Hebrew linguistics, bringing together many of the world’s experts in the field. The papers in this volume are based on research presented at those sessions, along with additional articles specifically written for this volume. The essays included here address topics in philology, language contact, text-linguistics and linguistic pragmatics, syntax, and applied linguistics. The collection showcases Biblical Hebrew linguistics as a dynamic and innovative endeavor that is making important contributions to the study of the Bible, Hebrew language, and modern linguistics.
“In most edited volumes, one or two essays stand out. I found Miller-Naudé and Naudé as well as Doron and Dubnov extremely helpful, and I will return to them regularly for reference; these two articles alone would be worth the price of the volume. What sets this book apart, however, is that there are at least half a dozen other valuable articles, which testifies to the overall quality of a volume that deserves to be on every Hebrew scholar’s shelf.”
