THE VERBAL SYSTEM OF BIBLICAL ARAMAIC - MICHAEL...

Grammarians have been unable to provide a sufficient explanation for the verbal system of
Biblical Aramaic by means of the standard categories of tense and aspect. Michael B. Shepherd
exposes this situation and suggests a way out of the present impasse through distributional
analysis by proposing that Biblical Aramaic has a primary verbal form for narration and a
primary verbal form for discourse. This simple yet comprehensive proposal holds true not only
for Biblical Aramaic but also for extra-Biblical Aramaic texts. This volume is an indispensable
resource for courses in Biblical Aramaic and for anyone who wishes to read and understand the
Biblical Aramaic corpus.
