Abstract:

This book presents the person marking system of Spoken Spontaneous Israeli
Hebrew (SSIH). It provides a systematic (morphological, syntactic, semantic,
pragmatic, and prosodic) analysis of the category of person and person markers
in SSIH and describes their morphological structure, their phonological shape,
the changes they exhibit with respect to previous layers of Hebrew, and their
syntactic behavior. It also examines the speakers’ choices of person markers
in changing contexts, and sets up an allomorphic system of person markers.
This study also discusses the theoretical question whether SSIH is a
ʻpro-drop’ or a ʻpro-add’ language.

The system of person markers that is represented in this research is based on
findings from a corpus of SSIH that was designed specifically for this
research project. The corpus includes recordings of authentic and spontaneous
Israeli speech as used by 20 native speakers and their conversation partners.
This study lays out the actual person marker system in SSIH as it arises from
this corpus, and it describes some crucial typological changes in comparison
to the previous phases of Hebrew. That is, there are three paradigms of person
markers in SSIH (rather than the two described for previous phases of Hebrew),
and there is a tri-gender rather than a two-gender person marker system. 

The research described in this book throws light on the grammatical and
syntactic system of person markers in SSIH and is another step towards
describing the complete grammatical system of SSIH.
