Summary:

""The Development of Biblical Hebrew Prepositions" presents an analysis of the sources and diachronic developments of forty-one simple and multiword prepositions in the Hebrew Bible from the viewpoint of grammaticalization within a historical-linguistics framework. The study contributes a detailed corpus-based accounting of the variation evidenced by the usages of Biblical Hebrew preositions and provides a descriptuve model of the emergence of this linguistic subsystem. Furthermore, it demonstrates the value of integrating dichronic linguistics and philological approaches in the investigation of grammar, providing for an exhaustive language-internal description."--Back cover
