Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive and uniform description that accounts for the use of all the participial periphrastic constructions in Biblical Hebrew and calls into question the claim that a second (‘preterite’) function of the construction was developed in Late Biblical Hebrew. We define the syntagm and give criteria for distinguishing true participial periphrastic constructions from superficially similar constructions. We then show that close attention to situation aspect and (un)boundedess provides a unified and sound account of every occurrence of the syntagm in the Hebrew Bible. We conclude that, unless the situation is bounded by an adverbial phrase, every participial periphrastic construction is unbounded which semantically distinguishes the construction from wayyiqtol.

圣经的希伯来语中的情境方面，（UN）有界性和参与性周环结构

摘要

本文提供了一个全面统一的描述，说明了圣经希伯来语中所有参与式短语表达结构的使用，并质疑有人认为该结构的第二个（“ preterite”）功能是在晚期圣经希伯来语中开发的。我们定义了突触，并给出了区分表面上相似的结构的真正的参与性围相结构的标准。然后，我们表明，密切关注情境方面和（无）界的女巫对希伯来语圣经中每次发生的共济会语提供了统一而合理的解释。我们得出的结论是，除非情况受到副词短语的限制，否则所有参与式词组的结构都是无边界的，这在语义上将结构与Wayyiqtol区分开。
