The book Biblical Hebrew and Discourse Linguistics edited by Robert Bergen
is a collection of 22 papers from The Summer Institute of Linguistics.
Three sections:  Grammatical, Syntactical, and Accent Studies; Narrative
Genre; Topics Relating to Nonnarrative Genres.  Includes the likes of
Longacre, Niccacci, etc.  Very interesting read.
