Description
This study of the syntactic constructions of extraposition and pronominal agreement in Semitic languages--Arabic, Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Aramaic, Syriac, Akkadian, and Amharic--examines both structure and function, using a method of discourse analysis to demonstrate how syntactic constructions are used to mark boundaries in the semantic structure of texts.
