Abstract

Babylonian Jewish communities possessed a Hebrew vocalization tradition in parallel to the better-known Tiberian and Palestinian traditions. Most of the available evidence regarding Babylonian Hebrew comes from vocalized manuscripts, which were produced during a late period in the history of the dialect. This article examines Jewish Babylonian Aramaic incantation bowls as earlier sources of information regarding the Babylonian Hebrew vocalization tradition. Plene spellings of Hebrew words in these texts, along with other orthographic details, attest to characteristically Babylonian features, such as the preservation of short u, o, e, and i in phonological environments that trigger lowering to ɔ and ε in the Tiberian tradition; the correspondence between Babylonian a-vowels and Tiberian sĕgōl; and non- systematic differences between the Babylonian and Tiberian traditions.

希伯来语在魔咒碗和巴比伦发声传统1

摘要

巴比伦犹太社区拥有希伯来语发声传统，与更知名的提比利亚和巴勒斯坦传统平行。有关巴比伦希伯来语的大多数可用证据来自发声的手稿，该手稿是方言历史的晚期。本文研究犹太巴比伦阿拉姆咒语碗，作为有关巴比伦希伯来语发声传统的较早信息。这些文本中希伯来语单词的全拼写以及其他正字法详细信息证明了典型的巴比伦特征，例如在语音环境中保留短u，o，e和i会触发降低到ɔ和ε在台伯利亚的传统中；巴比伦的a-元音和Tiberiansĕgōl之间的对应关系；以及巴比伦传统和台伯利亚传统之间的非系统性差异。
