introduction
> can be had by reading Longacre's _Joseph_ and Niccacci's _Syntax_ but
> neither is in print any longer, so you will have to get them from a

> theoretical approach(which does not focus on Hebrew), you may want to
read
> Longacre's _The Grammar of Discourse_ or the works of Grimes or van Dyke.

> Alter, Berlin, and Sternberg are writing from the perspective of literary

others

> As for my book, you can have a bound photo-copy for $25.  Mail checks to
me

> short-lived offer because S.I.L. will publish the book soon.  And
remember,
