Verb Position in Future Clauses in Biblical Hebrew.
Myhill, John
Language Variation and Change, v4 n3 p289-309 1992
In clauses with future meaning in Biblical Hebrew, there are consistent functional differences between clauses with verb-initial word order and clauses with non-verb-initial word order. Verb-initial clauses are associated with future events involving cooperation between the speaker, listener, and God. (16 references) (Author/LB)
