Dear Colleagues,

Of those of  you who are knowable about discourse grammar, I would like 
to inquire what profile scheme you find for expository discourse.  In 
Bryan Rocine's grammar (Learning Biblical Hebrew, p.319), he proposes a 
tentative scheme:

1. Verbless clause
    2. hyh clause
          3. x-qatal
              4. participle as predicate
                  yiqtol with present time
                  lo-yiqtol
                   5. qatal and yiqtol in dependent clauses
                        6. embedded discourse

1) Do you agree?
2) Where would you place x-yiqtol and weqatal in this scheme?  (I would 
imagine that x-yiqtol would be equal with #1 or between 1 and 2, and 
weqatal would fit with #4.)

Thanks!
