Hi Bryan,
I'm interested both in reference grammars and learning grammars. I'm 
actually making a research on BH grammar books and trying to understand how 
frequent is the use of pragmatic and discoursive categories in BH grammars.
Do you think Niccacci's work could be considered a grammar?
I would appreciate very much if you could send me bibliographical references 
on pragmatics and BH.
Shalom,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

I am not sure exactly what you are looking for.  Teaching grammars (in
contrast to reference grammars)?  If so, for what level?

Alviero Niccacci used his grammar for intermediate level classes, _The
Syntax of the Verb in Classical Hebrew Prose_ trans. W.G.E. Watson.
Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1990.

If you want reading materials for an intermediate class a bibliography
for personal study we can give you ten or twenty titles.

Shalom,
Bryan
