Biblical Hebrew Language and Linguistics

Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: We invite paper proposals for one open session on any topic pertaining to Biblical Hebrew language and linguistics, and for two thematic sessions. Thematic session #1: “Biblical Hebrew and translation and interpretation in Africa”. Both translation and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible depend upon linguistic analyses of various sorts. We welcome papers that investigate the interpretive implications of such analyses and their application to Bible translation, especially within the African context. Thematic session #2: “Biblical Hebrew and literary genres in the Hebrew Bible.” We welcome papers that explore linguistic features of Biblical Hebrew within the context of literary genres such as narrative, poetry, legal materials, proverbial sayings, etc.
