Diachrony in Biblical Hebrew is an indispensable
publication for biblical scholars, whose interpretations of
scriptures must engage the dates when texts were first composed and
recorded, and for scholars of language, who will want to read these
essays for the latest perspectives on the historical development of
Biblical Hebrew. For Hebraists and linguists interested in the
historical development of the Hebrew language, it is an essential
collection of studies that address the language's development
during the Iron Age (in its various subdivisions), the
Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods, and the Early Hellenistic
period. Written for both "text people" and "language people," this
is the first book to address established Historical Linguistics
theory as it applies to the study of Hebrew and to focus on the
methodologies most appropriate for Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. The
book provides exemplary case studies of orthography, lexicography,
morphology, syntax, language contact, dialectology, and
sociolinguistics and, because of its depth of coverage, has broad
implications for the linguistic dating of Biblical texts. The
presentations are rounded out by useful summary histories of
linguistic diachrony in Aramaic, Ugaritic, and Akkadian, the three
languages related to and considered most crucial for Biblical
research.
