Since the time of Gesenius, scholars have rightly grounded their determinations of linguistic dating of the biblical texts on the comparison of pairs of features that can be contrasted as early and late. However, at times Hebraists also identify terms as indicative of either Classical Biblical Hebrew (CBH) or Late Biblical Hebrew (LBH) on account of their relatively exclusive occurrence in either one corpus or the other. In this study I demonstrate the propensity of scholars to identify such terms in an impressionistic manner and unwittingly fall victim to a probability illusion long known by cognitive psychologists as the small sample fallacy. Conversely, I will show that in seeking lexical terms that are indicative of CBH and LBH respectively, they overlook other terms that are far more indicative and significant from a statistical perspective. To arrive at these conclusions, I employ data generated by the recently launched Tiberias Stylistic Classifier for the Hebrew Bible. Tiberias marshals cutting edge advances in the field of machine learning and computational linguistics to empower users to easily conduct their own experiments analysing and classifying the texts of the Hebrew Bible through the measurable features of linguistic data, and providing them with verifiable results. As an illustration of what is at stake, I reference the debate surrounding the linguistic profile of Genesis 24.
自格塞纽斯以来,学者们正确地将圣经文本的语言年代确定建立在早期和晚期可以对比的成对特征的比较上。然而,有时希伯来语学者也会将术语视为古典圣经希伯来语(CBH)或后期圣经希伯来语(LBH)的指示,因为它们在一个语料库或另一个语料库中相对排他地出现。在这项研究中,我展示了学者们倾向于以一种印象主义的方式识别这些术语,并无意中成为认知心理学家长期称为小样本谬论的概率错觉的受害者。相反,我将表明,在寻找分别指示CBH和LBH的词汇术语时,他们忽略了从统计角度来看更具指示性和重要性的其他术语。为了得出这些结论,我使用了最近推出的希伯来圣经的提比里亚文体分类器生成的数据。Tiberias汇集了机器学习和计算语言学领域的前沿技术,使用户能够通过语言数据的可测量特征轻松地进行自己的实验,分析和分类希伯来圣经的文本,并为他们提供可验证的结果。为了说明什么是利害攸关的,我引用了围绕《创世纪》第24章语言侧面的争论。

The Meaning of Qatal Qatal的含义
Pub Date : 2022-01-27 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/9299
Kevin Grasso
This study proposes a novel semantics for the Biblical Hebrew qatal form that includes both perfective and perfect/anterior meanings. I begin by evaluating other theories of qatal and give six criteria with which they might be evaluated, showing past analyses to be inadequate. These criteria are given as an external check on what makes a satisfactory analysis more generally, and though we can learn from past contributions, they ultimately fall short in one of these six areas. In contrast, I show that my theory meets these six criteria for what makes an adequate theory. The single meaning that I give for the qatal form is labelled a “perfect,” which I define as an aspectual form that refers to a temporal interval in which either a state holds with a possible preceding event or an event takes place that potentially precedes a state. This is qatal’s particular contribution to the context, though it may have different interpretations as it interacts with various verbal predicates and syntactic and discourse contexts. With this meaning, I account for all the temporal uses of qatal as well as the more difficult optative/precative and counterfactual interpretations. While qatal’s varied uses are recognised and explained, we are able to hold to a single meaning for the form, which is the simplest explanation possible, and this meaning is shown to be typologically and historically plausible.
本研究为《圣经》希伯来语qatal形式提出了一种新颖的语义,包括完全意义和完全/前义。我首先评估了qatal的其他理论,并给出了六个可以用来评估它们的标准,表明过去的分析是不充分的。这些标准是作为一种外部检查,以确定是什么使分析更普遍地令人满意,尽管我们可以从过去的贡献中吸取教训,但它们最终在这六个领域中的一个方面达不到要求。相比之下,我证明了我的理论符合这六个标准,即什么是一个充分的理论。我给出的卡塔尔形式的唯一含义被称为“完美”,我将其定义为一种方面形式,指的是一个状态与可能的前一事件保持一致或一个事件发生在一个状态之前的时间间隔。这是qatal对语境的特殊贡献,尽管它可能会有不同的解释,因为它与各种言语谓词、句法和话语语境相互作用。有了这个意义,我解释了qatal的所有时间用法,以及更困难的选择/前置和反事实解释。虽然qatal的各种用法都得到了认可和解释,但我们能够坚持这种形式的单一含义,这是最简单的解释,而且这种含义在类型学和历史上都是合理的。

A Re-examination of Verb Agreement with Conjoined Subjects in Biblical Hebrew 《圣经》希伯来语连词动词一致性再考
Pub Date : 2022-01-26 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/9295
Jesse Scheumann
Partial agreement refers to sentences that have conjoined subjects but a singular verb. Although word order is commonly cited in the Biblical Hebrew literature as affecting partial agreement, there is no consensus regarding such an effect. This syntactic study of all clauses with a compound subject in Genesis–2 Kings reveals that a singular verb always agrees with the initial conjunct. The results are incorporated in a cross-linguistic typology of partial agreement. Other key results are that only a coordinate compound headed by an R-expression (rather than a pronoun) is a subject, and that partial agreement is the dominant pattern when the verb and first conjunct are contiguous. A two-step process of Agree—first in syntax and then in phonology—is able to produce the optional partial agreement patterns, laying a better foundation for future studies to analyse the semantic and discourse-analysis effects on verb agreement.
部分一致是指主语连词但动词单数的句子。虽然在圣经希伯来文学中,词序通常被引用为影响部分一致性,但对于这种影响没有共识。对创世记-列王纪下所有复合主语从句的句法研究表明,单数动词总是与初始连词一致。结果被纳入部分一致的跨语言类型学。其他重要的结果是,只有以r表达式(而不是代词)为首的并列复合词才是主语,当动词和第一个连词相邻时,部分一致是主要模式。先句法后语音的两步一致过程能够产生可选择的部分一致模式,为今后分析动词一致性的语义和语篇分析效应奠定了更好的基础。

Defining Collective Nouns: How Cognitive Linguistics Can Help Hebrew Grammarians 定义集合名词:认知语言学如何帮助希伯来语语法学家
Pub Date : 2022-01-26 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/9288
Dougald W. McLaurin
In previous studies of the collective noun in Hebrew, collectives have been treated as a homogeneous group of nouns. Collectives have been defined as a noun that refers to a group of real-world entities and is grammatically singular. Sometimes included in this discussion are mass nouns and proper nouns. This article argues that mass nouns and proper nouns should not be included as part of the discussion about collective nouns. Then it seeks to apply the research of Joosten et al. on Dutch collective nouns to Biblical Hebrew. Joosten identifies three types of collective nouns. First, Type 1 nouns focus on the collection as a whole. On the other end of the spectrum are Type 3 nouns which focus on the members of a collection. Type 2 nouns have the flexibility to refer to the collection in one context, while in others it can have a member focus. Using a sampling of collectives that appear in Deuteronomy, this article uses attributives, demonstratives, and cardinal numbers to help identify collective nouns in Biblical Hebrew using Joosten’s categories. Observing these syntactical elements alongside collectives this article shows that Type 1 nouns will have agreement between adjectives and collectives. Type 3 nouns will have disagreement. Type 2 nouns will, depending on the focus, have either agreement or disagreement.
在以前对希伯来语集体名词的研究中,集体被视为一组同质的名词。集合被定义为一个名词,指的是一组现实世界中的实体,在语法上是单数。有时包括在这个讨论中的是大众名词和专有名词。本文认为,不应将大众名词和专有名词作为集体名词讨论的一部分。然后试图将Joosten等人对荷兰语集合名词的研究应用到圣经希伯来语中。乔斯滕确定了三类集合名词。首先,第1类名词侧重于整个集合。在光谱的另一端是第3类名词,它们集中在一个集合的成员身上。类型2名词可以灵活地在一个上下文中引用集合,而在其他上下文中可以有成员焦点。本文通过对《申命记》中出现的集体名词的抽样,使用定语、指示词和基数来帮助识别《圣经》希伯来语中的集体名词。本文将这些句法元素与集体一起观察,表明第一类名词在形容词和集体之间会有一致性。第三类名词会有分歧。根据焦点的不同,第2类名词会有同意或不同意的意思。

Partnership Remembered: Erets Canaan as Co Provider and Co-Enforcer in H 合作记忆:让迦南成为H的共同供应商和共同执行者

The article contrasts two views of “land” in two texts which both originated in priestly circles. The first text is the Priestly creation narrative, and here the article leans heavily on the work of Norman Habel and the Earth Bible Project. For Habel, Genesis 1 is the story of the loss of partnership between God and Earth. The article then describes the portrayal of the “land of Canaan” or “Erets Canaan” in the Holiness Legislation and shows how the old partnership is remembered and rekindled. In the second part of the article the earlier work of Esias Meyer is used. The objective of this article is to contrast these two views of relationship to land and to make clear that the Holiness Legislation is much less anthropocentric than its Priestly predecessor in Genesis 1.
这篇文章对比了两个文本中关于“土地”的两种观点,这两个文本都起源于牧师圈子。第一个文本是普里斯特利的创作叙事,文章在很大程度上依赖于诺曼·哈贝尔和地球圣经计划的工作。对哈贝尔来说,《创世纪1》讲述的是上帝和地球失去伙伴关系的故事。然后,文章描述了神圣立法中对“迦南地”或“埃雷兹迦南”的描述,并展示了旧的伙伴关系是如何被铭记和重新点燃的。文章的第二部分使用了埃西亚斯·迈耶的早期作品。这篇文章的目的是对比这两种关于土地关系的观点,并明确《圣洁立法》远没有《创世纪1》中的《祭司》那样以人类为中心。

Unipolar Conceptual Metaphors in Biblical Hebrew 圣经希伯来语中的单极概念隐喻
Pub Date : 2022-01-12 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/9563
At Lamprecht
The cognitive approach to metaphor has faced many challenges: one of these challenges is a lack of more cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research that needs to be done to better understand the claim of the cognitive approach that abstract concepts and abstract reasoning are partly metaphorical. This paper provides evidence that a universal spatial metaphorical system exists (the claim of Cognitive Linguistics) and shows that the theory of conceptual metaphor accommodates the findings to a certain extent. However, this theory of conceptual metaphor does not account for the entire Biblical Hebrew conceptual system and needs to be rethought. This study extends the existing knowledge of conceptual metaphor. Specifically, it expands the knowledge concerning verbs conflating a bipolar conceptual component, that is, MOTION and PATH. This study discusses evidence from the Hebrew Bible, and argues that the Biblical Hebrew verbs (yrd) (descend) and ('lh)(ascend)’s bipolar lexical concepts MOTION DOWN and MOTION UP, respectively, may split into two unipolar lexical concepts MOTION and DOWN and MOTION and UP, respectively, and in which only one unipolar lexical concept, that is DOWN or UP, respectively, is used for metaphorical conceptual mapping.
隐喻的认知方法面临着许多挑战:其中一个挑战是缺乏更多的跨语言和跨文化研究,需要更好地理解认知方法的主张,即抽象概念和抽象推理部分是隐喻的。本文提供了一个普遍的空间隐喻系统存在的证据(认知语言学的主张),并表明概念隐喻理论在一定程度上适应了这一发现。然而,这一概念隐喻理论并没有解释整个《圣经》希伯来语概念体系,需要重新思考。本研究扩展了概念隐喻的现有知识。具体而言,它扩展了关于将两极概念成分(即运动和路径)混为一谈的动词的知识。本研究讨论了《希伯来圣经》中的证据,并认为《圣经》中希伯来语动词(yrd)(下降)和('lh)(上升)的两极词汇概念MOTION DOWN和MOTION UP分别可以分为两个单极词汇概念MOTIONS和DOWN以及MOTION和UP,用于隐喻概念映射。

A Love Triangle Between God, Sophia, and the Righteous Interwoven in the Retelling of the Pentateuchal Stories in Wisdom 10 上帝、索菲亚和正义之间的三角恋交织在《智慧》一书中重述的五经故事中

Ananda B. Geyser-Fouché
In the Wisdom of Solomon, with special reference to chapters 6 to 10, wisdom is personified as a woman. This image is quite often found, especially in the wisdom literature. In the Wisdom of Solomon, Sophia is portrayed as a person who can speak, act, and feel, but most of all someone who can be loved and desired. She is portrayed as someone that is loved alternately by God and by the righteous. In Wisdom 10 Sophia is interwoven in the retelling of the Pentateuchal stories. She is the reason the righteous forefathers made the correct decisions, she protected and preserved them and gave them power, while the unrighteous are portrayed as leaving her and consequently making the wrong decisions. It is also interesting to notice the development in the concept of both wisdom and retribution from the traditional perspectives.
在《所罗门的智慧》中,特别提到了第6到10章,智慧被化身为一个女人。这一形象经常被发现,尤其是在智慧文学中。在《所罗门的智慧》中,索菲亚被描绘成一个会说话、会行动、会感觉的人,但最重要的是,她是一个可以被爱和被渴望的人。她被描绘成一个被上帝和正义交替爱着的人。在《智慧10》中,索菲亚与重述摩西五经的故事交织在一起。她是正义的祖先做出正确决定的原因,她保护和保护他们并赋予他们权力,而不义的人则被描绘成离开她,因此做出了错误的决定。同样有趣的是,从传统的角度来看,智慧和报应概念的发展也很有趣。

Leviathan, Rebuffing the Notion of Being Identified as a Natural Animal? 利维坦,拒绝被认定为自然动物的概念?
Pub Date : 2022-01-12 DOI: 10.25159/2663-6573/9108
Allan Dyssel
Leviathan and other sea-monsters in the Hebrew Bible have caused great dissonance amongst biblical scholars. No consensus exists amongst them on how to translate the Hebrew words referring to these mythical monsters. Therefore, a tendency developed amongst exegetes to transfigure these mythical beasts into ordinary animals, to translate them in a vague and general way, or to interpret them as mere symbols. This article investigates ways in which the assumed existence of Leviathan is identified and denied. To gain a better understanding of the nature and function of Leviathan, similar creatures in the ancient Near East are highlighted with a focus on sea-monsters and dragons associated with the primeval sea. These findings propose not only a more distinct epitome of Leviathan, but also of other monsters associated with the primeval waters (Rahab, tanninim, behemoth, and dag gadol), as depicted in the Old Testament. These beasts, interpreted against the magico-mythical cosmology of the ancient Near East and the Old Testament, should be seen as mythical creatures assumed to be real by the ancient audience of the biblical text. In striving for fidelity and loyalty to both the text and the current reader, translations should reflect the foreignness of Leviathan and other monsters or dragons to the contemporary reader.
利维坦和其他希伯来圣经中的海怪在圣经学者中引起了巨大的分歧。关于如何翻译希伯来语中提到的这些神话中的怪物,他们之间没有达成共识。因此,在注释者中出现了一种倾向,把这些神话中的野兽变成普通的动物,用一种模糊和一般的方式翻译它们,或者仅仅把它们解释为符号。本文探讨了认定和否定利维坦存在的方式。为了更好地理解利维坦的本质和功能,古代近东的类似生物被重点强调了与原始海洋有关的海怪和龙。这些发现不仅提出了利维坦的一个更独特的缩影,而且还提出了旧约中描述的与原始水域有关的其他怪物(拉哈卜,tanninim,巨兽和dag gadol)。这些野兽,与古代近东和旧约的魔法神话宇宙论相违背,应该被视为神话中的生物,被古代圣经文本的读者认为是真实的。在力求对文本和当前读者的忠实和忠诚的同时,翻译应该反映利维坦和其他怪物或龙对当代读者的异域性。

In striving for fidelity and loyalty to both the text and the current reader, translations should reflect the foreignness of Leviathan and other monsters or dragons to the contemporary reader.","PeriodicalId":42047,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Semitics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43270042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
