Aspect and the Biblical Hebrew Niphal and Hitpael
What it is about
The Niphal and Hitpael overlap heavily (passive, middle, reflexive) and grammars define neither stem cleanly. Benton defines the passive functionally as demotion of the primary argument, either syntactically or topically, and argues that cross-linguistically a language may have two passives split by situation aspect: a state-oriented (resultative) one and an activity-oriented (middle-like) one. He examines all Niphal, Hitpael, Hitpolel, Hitpalpel and Nitpael forms in the Bible, comparing minimal pairs from the same root and context, with Pual for contrast. Both stems function as passives, which explains the overlap; the Niphal is the state-oriented passive and the Hitpael the activity-oriented one. Diachronically (through Ben Sira) the Niphal keeps its resultative sense while the Hitpael spreads to new roots but stays activity-oriented. Reflexive and passive are not distinguished morphologically without an explicit reflexive pronoun.
Ideas
- I1. Map stems to voice for FEATS: Niphal, Hitpael (and Hitpolel, Hitpalpel) →
Voice=MidorVoice=Passas a family, with a MISC hint (e.g.VoiceAspect=Statefor Niphal,VoiceAspect=Activityfor Hitpael; UD has no such Aspect value), instead of separate passive/reflexive guesses. - I2. For roots attested in both Niphal and Hitpael in the Torah, list the pairs and check, with the JPS alignment, whether the Niphal is rendered as a state or result ("was …ed", "became") and the Hitpael as an activity.
- I3. In the event reader, a Niphal predicate yields a resulting state of its subject (patient) with an unexpressed agent; a Hitpael predicate yields an activity of the subject; the agent of either is not invented unless a מִן / בְּ phrase names it.
For Mova
I1 is part of the planned Voice feature in tools/macula (13-mova-tools.md lists Voice as not yet carried); I2 a measure for The verb (the binyanim); I3 a rule for the world reader. NC licence: ideas may be used, the text is never copied or shipped.
