| Summary: | The first problem regarding the Biblical Hebrew "genitive" - as understood in traditional (classical) grammar - is a terminological one. If the term genitive is used to denote a surface structure case, it can not be used for Hebrew. The term "construct state" is not used consistenly. The whole construction could be called the "construct-phrase", in which the first element is the construct state and the second the post-construct. Other workable terms are semikut, nismak and somek. Traditional grammar uses the same name for different categories of genitives and vice versa. Different single categories are distinguished, and the main divisions of the categories differ extensively. Only the second element is usually named, although both elements fulfil a semantic role. The linguistic levels of morphology, syntax and semantics are mixed. The separation of these probably provides the best solution for the problem of the "genitive". |
