What is The Semantics of Aspect and Modality: Evidence from English and Biblical Hebrew (Studies in Language Companion Series 34) about?
This volume provides a critical overview of research in tense, aspect and modality, as well as in the semantics of the verbal system in biblical Hebrew. The author suggests a new approach for analyzing the biblical Hebrew verb system, showing it to be tenseless. The overall approach adopted in the book is basically of truth conditional semantics and adheres closely to Kamp's DRT (Discoure Representation Theory). For each phenomenon covered, the relevant literature is surveyed and critically discussed with reference to English and, when relevant, to other languages. The conclusions arrived at are then applied to biblical Hebrew.
