1 Introduction to Hebrew Linguistics (‘Inleiding Hebreeuwse Taalkunde’) UvA, Week 13 May 25, 2012 Tamás Biró Syntax

2 Word order: language typology Head + modifier or modifier + head? Noun + adjective (such as French) Also bayit echad, but shney batim. Basic Word Order: SVO, SOV, VSO, VOS, OVS, OSV Verb + complement BH: VSO: : את חמורו [אברהם] ישכם אברהם בבוקר ויחבש IH: Free? SVO? V2? (such as Dutch, German) Departure from Basic Word Order Fronting the Topic. Fronting the Focus. : הארץ בראשית ברא א׳ את השמים ואת

3 את: Differential Object Marking Many languages mark the object only in specific cases: Only pronouns (e.g. Dutch, English), only animate (e.g. Russian masculine and neutral nouns), only definite (Hebrew). Reanalysis in substandard/colloquial IH: NB: A large proportion of native IH speakers: [h] > Ø And therefore, especially in fast speech: phonological contraction: [et + ha] → [ta] Not (yet?) in written language.

4 Semantic roles, syntactic positions, morphological cases Agent of action = subject of sentence = nominative case. Undergoer of action = object of sent. = accusative case. But what about sentence expressing possession? Language type 1: possessor-NOM habeo possessed-ACC Language type 2: possessed-NOM EXISTS possessor-DAT Hebrew: יש + possessor-DAT (ל) + possessed-NOM.הזה. יש לי הספר But: יש לי אותו (and *יש לי הוא) Colloquial IH:. יש לי את הספר הזה Israeli Hebrew switching from type 2 to type 1.

5 של: Reanalysis in Mishnaic H Expressing possession In Proto-Semitic, Classical Arabic: nomen regens (in construct state) + nomen rectum (in genitive). In BH, no cases. Reanalysis in Rabbinic/Mishnaic Hebrew: BH: ל: many uses (“meanings”), among them genitive. Periphrastic construction: ašer le... Proto-RH: še le... (e.g., in Bar Kokhba-letters) Mishnaic Hebrew: birth of a new preposition šel. Proof of reanalysis (beyond orthography): še le + ha = še la, but šel + ha does not contract.

6 Expression of possession in IH Expressing possession in IH: Colloquial IH: Real possessions: use של Smichut: lexicalized expressions, and in lieu of compounding. How productive? 3 ways in formal/official/written IH: Smichut של (seen as colloquialism) Double construction: תמונתו של מיקלאנג׳לו. Don't confuse colloquialism with slang, jargon, fast speech!

7 Subordinate clause (bijzin) Complementizer (subordinating conjunction) CBH ašer, PreCBH, LBH, RH, MedH, IH: še, cf. Aramaic di. Reanalysis of ha, participle as adjective → verb of subordinate clause, reanalysis of participle to present tense: ha-yeled ha-kotev ha-yeled ha-kotev mixtav ha-yeled ha-kotev et ha-mixtav yeladim, ha-kotvim mixtavim, rocim kelev yeš yeladim ha-mesaxkim ba-derex Eyn ha-yeladim ha-mesaxkim ba-derex rocim kelev.
