Dear Rolf,
Do any linguists accept your model of the Hebrew verb?

I have lectured about my verbal model for groups of scholars, and I do not expect that the model immediately should be accepted, or necessarily accepted at all. But frankly speaking, I am surprised to find how difficult it is to be able to have a meaningful discussion regarding the linguistic principles at stake. It seems to me that very few professors of Semitic languages are able to fathom that there is a distinction between semantic ( uncancellable) factors inside a language and pragmatic factors. This seems to be something they never have thought of. So it is high time that linguistics are introduced into Semitic studies.
