Description:

The book investigates the qatal//yiqtol (yiqtol//qatal) verbal sequence, previously known as 'tense shifting', as found in couplets of the Hebrew Psalter, attempting an innovatory explanation by means of M.A.K. Halliday's Systemic Theory. Examples from Ugaritic poetry are also provided.
