Abstract:

What are the elements of Biblical Hebrew (BH) verse? Much headway has been
made in terms of describing the features and devices that find expression in
BH verse, but there is more to be said particularly about the distinction
between verse and prose. Though BH verse is governed by a terse poetic line,
it also exhibits "relaxed" syntactic structure, wherein certain syntactic
constructions that would be unviable in prose are acceptable. One such
construction is the occurrence of constituent postponement in the verbal
clause, such as postverbal subject- and object-postponement as well as
verb-postponement. This cross-disciplinary study evaluates statistical
evidence from a broad sample of BH verse, investigates the instances of actual
constituent postponement, and employs the work of the Russian Formalist critic
Victor Shklovsky on defamiliarization to explain the function of constituent
postponement in the sample texts. (Harrassowitz Verlag 2014)
