A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
Could somebody please point me in the direction of a glossary of Hebrew grammatical terms?

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
Here is one on Amazon specifically for Hebrew (note that it is not a lexicon but a dictionary of grammatical terms).Stephen Hughes wrote:Could somebody please point me in the direction of a glossary of Hebrew grammatical terms?

Be sure to use the "look inside" feature on Amazon to see if this is the type of book you're needing.

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
I've had a good look through the "look inside" feature. It is a dictionary of both general language, grammar and linguistic things and about the specifically Hebrew grammatical terms too. Do you have a copy yourself? Do you recommend it to your students?markofcain wrote:Here is ... on Amazon ... a dictionary of grammatical terms

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
No I don't have a copy and therefore can not recommend it. I suggested it to you as no one had responded to your request and I thought that this might help. BTW, I don't have any Hebrew students but have often thought that it would be fun!Stephen Hughes wrote:Do you have a copy yourself? Do you recommend it to your students?

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
I would like to have a set of basic grammar terms in Hebrew to use in my own studies, preferably from a free or public domain source. Those of you who teach Hebrew and use communicative approaches, do you use any of these? If so, do you use the Modern Hebrew terms, or draw from the medieval Hebrew grammarians?

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
I own a copy, and used it myself quite a bit when expanding beyond my initial studies in Weingreen, and finding that other grammarians used very different terminology. I still find myself consulting it from time to time. I believe the O.P. would find it helpful for the indicated purpose.Stephen Hughes wrote:I've had a good look through the "look inside" feature.

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
But are the terms there actually in Hebrew, or just English (and the usual Latin ones, like jussive and matres lectionis)?
Ideally, I'd like some that go back as far in history as possible, say, to the Mishnaic period if they existed that far back.

Dewayne,
Have you seen a copy of Weingreen's A Practical Grammar for Classical Hebrew? Circa 1939. While he still uses words like "jussive" and "matres lectionis," many of his grammatical terms are in Hebrew.
I just looked at the price on Amazon.com, ouch! I bought mine for $1.50 at Goodwill.

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
I've hear of Weingreen but haven't seen it. Thanks for the tip. If I were to buy one, it would have to be cheap, too.

Re: A glossary of Hebrew Grammatical terms?
That is an interesting suggestion. Weingreen was my text when I learned Hebrew, and I have taught from Weingreen, but I don't recall his using particularly Hebrew terminology. He does refer to Pe Waw and Lamed Gutteral, as opposed to the I-Waw and III-Gutteral of more recent grammars, but I believe that's about the extent of it.markofcain wrote:talmid56 wrote:But are the terms there actually in Hebrew, or just English (and the usual Latin ones, like jussive and matres lectionis)?

I have seen some others that make it a point to use almost exclusively Hebrew terminology--Cook and Holmstedt's grammar comes to mind, although I don't know that I would necessarily recommend it for any other reason.
