Modeling Biblical Language
Modeling Biblical Language presents articles with some of
the latest scholarship applying linguistic theory to the study of
the Christian Bible. The contributors are all associated with the
McMaster Divinity College Linguistic Circle, a collegial forum for
presenting working papers in modern linguistics (especially
Systemic Functional Linguistics) and biblical studies. The papers
address a range of topics in linguistic theory and the Hebrew and
Greek languages. Topics include linguistic model building,
temporality and verbal aspect, Greek lexical semantics and
Hebrew-Greek translation, appraisal and evaluation theory, metaphor
theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and Greek clausal
structure. These various areas of linguistic exploration contribute
generally to the interpretation and analysis of the Old and New
Testaments, as well as to linguistic theory proper.
