hey, bryan: how's it going, eh?
my dialectology papers, not yet a mongraph--but give me time, have direct
bearing on diachronics. in the one paper, i suggested all psalms that had
diagnostics were post-exilic, tending to the ezra-chronicles end of the
spectrum. i'm hoping the nunation studies will bear much fruit: stay
tuned. (the papers referred to are online in my papers directory.)
on a related note, i've been thinking about bob culley's 1970 paper on
metre. he proposed a taxonomy based on syllable-counting profiles, but no
one followed it up. i've been thinking that such profiles would correlate
with my dialect profiles in an interesting way... (anyone need a thesis
topic...?)
shalom,
vince
