Hebrew OT Syntax

Verbless clauses in biblical Hebrew come in several syntactical varieties. One such example are clauses where one finds a subject and subject complement juxtaposed together with no stated verbal element. The search for this syntactical pattern appears below (restricted to Genesis; 243 occurrences). I’ve restricted the search somewhat by requiring that the first part of the verbless clause (subject or subject complement, depending on the word order) must be the first child of the parent node (CL = clause) and there can be no other clause immediate constituent between the two search items. You can download this search HERE, and a search for this pattern through the whole Hebrew Bible HERE. If you have Libronix, put the search in My Documents>Libronix DLS> SyntaxQueries to run it yourself in a syntax search.

Here’s an example of a particular sequence that illustrates how a syntactical database can assist scholars looking for this kind of discourse pattern. The search below asks, “Where in the Hebrew Bible will I find three consecutive wayyiqtol clauses [no expressed subject] followed by a waw conjunction + expressed subject [noun] + qatal that disrupts […]

This is a wonderful search for illustrating how something as powerful as morphological searching in the Greek New Testament is dramatically inferior to searching the Greek NT with a syntactically-tagged database.
Those who have Greek will know that the subject of an infinitive is in the accusative case, not the nominative, as is the normal case […]

Here’s a brief explanation / illustration of a New Testament database markup for meta-comments.
