Where standard Hebrew reference grammars have traditionally worked to describe the relationships between words and phrases within discrete clauses (micro-syntax), discourse analysis works to describe the relationships that exist between clauses and texts (macro-syntax). This resource fills a needed gap for intermediate Hebrew students and gives them the tools to work with Hebrew syntax on the macro-level, making clear the relationships between clauses, paragraphs, and larger units of text in Hebrew prose and poetry. Professors and pastors working with Hebrew will also find this one-of-a-kind resource highly valuable."
