Anaphora and Deixis in Tiberian Hebrew: Semantically Mapping the Case for a Distance-Neutral Demonstrative
What it is about
Grammars usually say Hebrew has a near demonstrative (זֶה "this") and a far one (הַהוּא "that", the third-person pronoun with the article). Using the typology of Diessel and Himmelmann, the author builds a semantic map of demonstrative and anaphoric functions (situational deixis, recognitional, anaphora to topics and non-topics, focus and contrastive anaphora, cataphoric and anaphoric discourse deixis) and sorts every Pentateuch occurrence of both paradigms, with the deictic examples listed verse by verse. Finding: the זֶה paradigm is distance-neutral, pointing to near and far things alike; deixis is 35% of its Pentateuch uses, and much of the rest is discourse deixis, especially closing or opening lists ("these are the sons of Ham", 22% cataphoric, 35% anaphoric discourse deixis). The הוּא paradigm has no deictic use left: it is anaphoric (82%), mostly topic anaphora (53%) and non-topic anaphora (23%), plus anaphoric discourse deixis ("after these things") and a rare recognitional use ("that great wilderness", Deut 1:19).
Ideas
- I1. Gloss rule: do not translate זֶה/אֵלֶּה as "this/these" by distance; and read הַהוּא/הַהִיא adnominal as anaphoric ("the aforesaid"), resolving it to an earlier mention in the world, never to something in the speech situation.
- I2. A coreference rule: adnominal הַהוּא (בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, הָאִישׁ הַהוּא) → link to the most recent mention of the same noun; measure link accuracy on a sample against JPS and the context.
- I3. Discourse deixis at list edges: אֵלֶּה at a clause start followed by a list (אֵלֶּה תּוֹלְדֹת, אֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת) opens a section; וְאֵלֶּה/אֵלֶּה closing a genealogy refers back to the whole list. Mark these as section boundaries for the discourse layer.
- I4. Reproduce the paper's Pentateuch percentages on our trees as a dated table, using the tree position (det vs nsubj, verbless clause) as a first proxy for the function.
For Mova
I1 and I4 go into Pronouns, particles and prepositions (demonstratives). I2 is a resolver rule for the world reader and for tools/macula/src/prag.rs participant tracking (09-discourse.md). I3 is a segmentation cue for 09-discourse.md and the Torah course. The paper's verse lists are a ready gold sample for checking I2 and I3.
