Description: "...Although the results of Discourse Linguistics investigations are still controversial and may not be accepted by all grammarians whose approaches are mainly tense, historical-comparative or aspect-based, they have added nuance and simplicity to the tangle of conflicting opinions on the uses of of verbal forms, e.g. wayyiqtol, qatal, weqatal, etc. , in Hebrew narrative.Longacre's Joseph: A Story of Divine Providence manages to convey as clearly and concisely as possible its author's methods, intent and conclusions as he applies discourse analysis to the Joseph story." -- Amazon.com.
