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

Dear friends,
I'm looking for grammars of Biblical Hebrew following a pragmatic approach. I know three:
-Gary Aland Long, Grammatical concepts 101 for Biblical Hebrew : Learning Biblical Hebrew Grammatical Concepts through English Grammar, Peabody 2002.
-B.M. Rocine, Learning Biblical Hebrew. A New Approach Using Discourse Analysis, Macon 2000.
-Ch.H.J. Van Der Merwe, J.A. Naudé, J.H. Kroeze, A Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar, Sheffield 1999.
Are there any others (even dealing only with single issues, such as performative verbs, background/foreground distinction, discourse markers, presupposition, speech act, deixis and so on)?
