Hi Bryan,
Studies explicitly on this of which I am aware are:
Bartelmus, Rüdiger. HYH: Bedeutung und Funktion eines hebräischen
“Allerweltwortes”: Zugleich ein Beitrag zur Frage des hebräischen
Tempussystems. Arbeiten zu Text und Sprache im Alten Testament 17. St.
Ottilien: EOS Verlag, 1982.
Niccacci, Alviero. “Sullo stato sintattico del verbo hayâ.” Liber Annuus
40 (1990): 9-23.
Ogden, G. S. “Time, and the Verb היה in O.T. Prose.” Vetus Testamentum
21 (1971): 451-469.
Also:
Stipp, Hermann-Josef. “w˙=hayā für nichtiterative Vergangenheit? Zu
syntaktischen Modernisierungen im masoretischen Jeremiabuch.” Pages
521-547 in Text, Methode, und Grammatik: Wolfgang Richter zum 65.
Geburtstag. Edited by Walter Gross, Hubert Irsigler, and Helmut
Satzinger. St. Ottilien: EOS Verlag, 1991.
I'd expect it also to be covered in
Harmelink, Bryan L. “Exploring the Syntactic, Semantic, and Pragmatic
Uses of וַיְהִי in Biblical Hebrew.” PhD diss., Westminster Theological
Seminary, 2004.
and perhaps also
Michel, Diethelm. Der hebräische Nominalsatz. Vol 2 of Grundlegung einer
hebräischen Syntax. Edited by Achim Behrens, Johannes F. Diehl, Anja A.
Diesel, Reinhard G. Lehmann, Achim Müller, and Andreas Wagner.
Neukirchen-Vluyn: Neukirchener, 2004.
I'd need to check this last one as I can't remember offhand. My copy is
at work so I could get back to you after the weekend if you wanted.
Hope this is a start.
Regards,
David Kummerow.
Dear B-Haveray,
Does anyone know of literature dedicated specifically to the qtl of
HYH? Thanks much!
