Abstract

Unlike its English counterpart between, the Biblical Hebrew (BH) preposition bên does not allow a conjoined object (between A and B), but it uses additional prepositions in two typologically unusual patterns: bên A wə-bên B ‘between A and-between B’ and bên A lə-B ‘between A to-B’. This article shows that these two patterns, and their equivalence with the English one, can be accounted for semantically, on the basis of the underlying filter behaviour of the ‘betweenness’ meaning.

圣经希伯来语中的“Between”结构

与之间的英语对应词不同，《圣经》希伯来语（BH）介词bên不允许（在a和b之间）联合宾语，但它以两种类型上不寻常的模式使用了额外的介词：a之间的bênAwê-bênB'和a到b之间的bünAlê-b'。这篇文章表明，这两种模式，以及它们与英语模式的等价性，可以从语义上解释，基于“介数”含义的潜在过滤行为。
