Bill Rea wrote, inter alia:
   
   
   "I often found it difficult to understand why he [Lemkhe]  and 
  TLT  [Thompson] used the words they did to describe their views
  as they were often using them in very non-standard ways,
  ways which would be almost certainlymisunderstood by the 
  causal reader "
   
    Both of these gentlemen spent paractically their entire careers
  in an effort to denude the historical narratives of the HB, till
  Neo-Assyrian times, of any scholarly value. They made their
  position clear in dozens of publications. Their views and
  specific arguments  were refuted, sometimes one by one,
  by many scholars.
   
    I don't know what what you mean by describing their words as 
  "very non- standard". It is true that Thomas Thompson often
  uses an opaque style, but this is far from being "non standard", 
  neither is it confined to some biblical scholars. Some consider
  a bombastic and convoluted style  an inadequate cover for 
  paucity of thought.

shalom,

has anyone spotted anything relatively recent on the following, or know of 
someone currently researching in the specific area:

(1) word-counting algorithms, subsequent to vance's literature review in 
his 2001 opus "the question of meter in biblical hebrew"?

(2) on the clitic and/or maqqef in tiberian hebrew morphophonology?

(3) on Jonah 2? (doesn't necessarily have to be on the poetry as such.)

any and all references will be greatly appreciated. in the case of ongoing 
research, any contact info will be helpful.
