| Publisher Description: Ce livre est l'aboutissement d'une these doctorale soutenue en fevrier 2006 a l'Institut Orientaliste de l'Universite Catholique de Louvain. Cette recherche porte sur les formes verbales finies de l'hebreu ancien et la logique de leur emploi tel qu'il est atteste dans la Bible hebraique. Apres quelques reflexions sur la problematique et la methodologie, ainsi que sur la valeur du texte massoretique en tant que temoin de la langue hebraique ancienne (pp. 7-22), l'ouvrage presente une esquisse critique des theories explicatives proposees jusqu'a present et fondees pour la plupart sur le systeme verbal traditionnel quadripartite qatal, yiqtol, weqatalti et wayyiqtol (pp. 23-200). Cette deuxieme partie s'acheve sur les principaux problemes qui rendent inadequates ces approches qui comportent beaucoup trop d'exceptions a leurs regles. La troisieme et principale partie de l'ouvrage (pp. 201-375) propose une remise en question du point de depart de la recherche en adoptant un systeme tripartite (qatal, yiqtol long et yiqtol court) fonde sur une prise de distance par rapport a certains elements massoretiques et sur la grammaire comparee des langues semitiques. Ce systeme tripartite permet ainsi d'aboutir a une description du systeme verbal de l'hebreu ancien beaucoup plus adequate que le systeme quadripartite. This book is the outcome of a doctoral thesis presented in February 2006 at the Institut Orientaliste of the Universite Catholique of Louvain. This work investigates the finite verbal forms of ancient Hebrew and the logic of their use as is attested in the Hebrew Bible. After some reflections on the problems and the methodological issues involved, as well as on the value of the Masoretic text as a witness to the ancient Hebrew language (pp. 7-22), the book presents a critical sketch of the theories advanced until now and shows that most of these are built on the traditional quadripartite system (qatal, yiqtol, weqatalti and wayyiqtol) and involve too many exceptions to the rules (pp. 23-200). The second part of the book ends with the main problems of these theories and shows their inadequacy. The third and main part of the book (pp. 201-375) challenges the starting point of much contemporary research by adopting a tripartite system (qatal, long yiqtol and short yiqtol) based on a somewhat different approach than some masoretic elements and on the comparative grammar of the Semitic languages. This tripartite system leads to a description of the Hebrew verbal system which is much more adequate than the quadripartite system. |
