The Complexity of Verbal Semantics — An Intricate Relationship Between Qatal and Wayyiqtol
What it is about
The author reviews four traditional views of how qatal and wayyiqtol relate (identical, opposed, unrelated, similar but distinct) and replaces them with a frequency-weighted "kinetic map" of each form's senses. Every qatal and wayyiqtol in Genesis was classified by sense from context (not from translations), with half points for ambiguous cases. Qatal: taxis senses (present perfect, indefinite perfect, pluperfect, future perfect) make 55.5% (468 cases; pluperfect alone 18.9%), perfective past 26.7%, plus present (stative/resultative), performative and modal uses. Wayyiqtol: perfective past 89.7% (1831 cases), durative past 6%, taxis only 4%. Both are read as waves on the same resultative grammaticalisation path, wayyiqtol the older and further advanced; at the coarsest level qatal is the form of taxis/anteriority and wayyiqtol the form of the perfective past, with about a 90/10 split of each domain between them.
Ideas
- I1. A default gloss rule from the sense profile: wayyiqtol → English simple past; qatal in narrative after a wayyiqtol chain or with X-qatal (subject or אֲשֶׁר first) → pluperfect ("had"); qatal in direct speech → present perfect. Measure agreement with JPS 1917 tense in the Torah, per text type (narrative vs speech).
- I2. Stative roots in qatal → present ("I know", "he is old"): a small list of stative lemmas (ידע, זקן, אהב, כבד …) with a rule; count how often JPS renders them as present.
- I3. Reproduce the Genesis table on our trees: share of qatal vs wayyiqtol by clause type (0-qatal, X-qatal, אֲשֶׁר-qatal, לֹא-qatal) and by voice (narrator/character from
prag), as an objective proxy for the paper's sense counts. - I4. Keep the 0.5/0.5 convention for ambiguous readings in any hand-checked sample of verb senses.
For Mova
I1–I3 belong in The verb (qatal, wayyiqtol, the aspect–tense debate) with counts measured on our Torah trees, and in 09-discourse.md for the narrative/speech split; the voice column of tools/macula/src/prag.rs supplies the split. I1 also feeds the English glosses of the Torah dictionary's examples. I2 is a lemma list in 10-lexicon.md.
