Abstract

This study presents a new suggestion as to the fundamental disagreement between the morphological theories of Menaḥem b. Saruq and Dunash b. Labraṭ, two tenth-century Hebraists with non-triliteral perspectives of the Hebrew root. A framework detailing the possible analyses of Hebrew verbal morphology without a priori assuming the triliteral perspective is first developed. It is noted that the multiplicity of possible analyses in this framework parallels the ‘Segmentation Problem’ of Romance languages due to thematic vowels. Based on analysis of their treatises it is then argued that Menaḥem generally follows one identified method of analysis, and Dunash another. Finally it is suggested that these different methods of analysis are rooted in two different models of morphology, with Menaḥem holding a morpheme-based model and Dunash holding a word-based model. An English translation of a lengthy relevant section of the introduction to Menaḥem’s treatise is given as an appendix.

Menaḥem与Dunash之争及非三音节希伯来语词形的框架*

摘要本文对两位十世纪希伯来语学者Menaḥem b. Saruq和Dunash b. labraha在希伯来语词根的非三位制观点上的根本分歧提出了新的看法。一个框架详细介绍了可能的分析希伯来语词法没有先验假设的三位一体的观点是第一次发展。值得注意的是，在这个框架中可能分析的多样性与罗曼语中由于主题元音而产生的“分割问题”相似。基于对他们论文的分析，然后认为Menaḥem通常遵循一种确定的分析方法，而Dunash则遵循另一种方法。最后指出，这些不同的分析方法是基于两种不同的形态学模型，Menaḥem采用基于语素的模型，Dunash采用基于词的模型。一个英文翻译的一个冗长的相关部分介绍Menaḥem的论文是作为一个附录。
