Call For Papers: 2024 Annual Meeting The Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew Section solicits papers for FIVE sessions: The FIRST SESSION is non-thematic and open to a range of linguistically informed papers. We invite papers that address the study of Biblical Hebrew using a well-articulated linguistic theory and/or apply linguistics to particular Biblical Hebrew constructions or corpora. The SECOND SESSION is a thematic session entitled ‘Syntax of Deverbal Nominals’. We invite proposals for papers for a Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew thematic session. We welcome papers that explore the syntax of deverbal nominals in Biblical Hebrew and the complex relationships with the verbs from which they derive. The THIRD SESSION, co-sponsored with the Masoretic Studies section is entitled ‘Contemporary Theoretical Perspectives on Masoretic Phenomena'. We invite paper proposals for a Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew joint session with Masoretic Studies. We welcome papers that explore a Masoretic phenomenon through a contemporary theoretical perspective and the implications of such an analysis on the interpretation of the Masoretic data. The FOURTH SESSION is a joint open session with NAPH, entitled ‘Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew’. Papers that address the study of Biblical Hebrew using a well-articulated linguistic method are welcome, and those that apply linguistics to particular Biblical Hebrew constructions or corpora are especially encouraged. The FIFTH SESSION is a joint thematic session with NAPH, entitled 'The Linguistic Profile of the Pentateuch'. Converging lines of evidence indicate the early recognition of certain biblical corpora, among them the books of the Torah. We invite papers that apply well-articulated linguistic theory to the Hebrew of the Pentateuch and/or apply linguistics to particular Biblical Hebrew constructions in the Pentateuch, especially in contradistinction to other biblical corpora and/or non-biblical sources.
