Requirements for Participation

Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew


Program Unit Type: Section
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: The Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew section solicits papers for three sessions. 1) The thematic session is open to papers which linguistically define the notion of "emphasis" in Biblical Hebrew and apply this notion productively to texts. Papers may include treatment of such phenomena as markedness, saliency, argument structure, discourse prominence, theme-rheme, topic-focus, and/or word order. 2) The second session is general and open to any paper that applies a well-articulated modern linguistic theory to some aspect of Biblical Hebrew. 3) The third session, held jointly with Biblical Hebrew poetry, is entitled "Word Order Variation in Ancient Hebrew Poetry." Papers are welcome that explore the value of approaches to word order variation, information structure, topic-focus, etc. -- approaches that are both linguistically competent and sensitive to poetics as understood in literary theory.
