A Grammar of Samaritan Hebrew is a comprehensive scholarly study of the distinctive Hebrew pronunciation and linguistic tradition preserved by the Samaritan community.
Based on the Samaritan recitation of the Torah, Ze’ev Ben-Hayyim examines Samaritan Hebrew in comparison with the Tiberian and other Jewish traditions of Hebrew. The book provides a detailed linguistic analysis covering phonology, morphology, pronouns, nouns, numerals, particles, and aspects of syntax, along with an extensive inventory of forms.
An important reference work for scholars and students of Hebrew linguistics, Biblical Hebrew, Samaritan studies, and the textual and linguistic traditions of the Torah, this volume offers an in-depth examination of one of Hebrew’s most distinctive surviving reading traditions.
