Trevor asked:

Any idea whether there's a distinction in Hebrew that would parallel the
philologist/linguist distinction in English?

Charles answers: Not in my personal dialect of spoken Hebrew. But again,
others on the list may have different ranges of usage than I. I have always
heard and used the same word. But I have actually heard philologya for
philology, comparable to philosophya for philosophy.
Anyone else?
Charles
