- Double-weighted statement
- The monography merits double weight in the REF by virtue of its length (516 pp.; 3 indexes), scope, and complexity of analysis. To periodize the Hebrew of the biblical book of Jeremiah, the study meticulously examines 46 diachronically significant linguistic features representing multiple domains (orthography/phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon) in conversation with (a) Ancient Hebrew’s broader diversity (chronolects, regional dialects, registers, preserving traditions) and (b) its literary formation and textual development (with special focus on the book’s substantially divergent Hebrew and Greek versions).
