A Note on Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX
Zeitschrift fur die Alttestamentliche Wissenschaft. 2026. Vol. 138. No. 3. P. 392–400.
I propose to relate the puzzling rendering of סָבְאָם as Χαναναίους in Hos 4:18a LXX to the only other occurrence of סֹבֶא “strong drink, wine, or beer”, Isa 1:22, where the term is translated in the LXX as οἱ κάπηλοι “retailers”. Given that כְּנַעֲנִי “Canaanite” functioned as a designation for “trader”, I argue that both verses ultimately reflect the same underlying interpretation of the root sbˀ in the sense “to sell wine”, which is well documented in other Semitic languages. It is plausible that the LXX translators recognised this meaning within Biblical Hebrew or derived it from Aramaic, their native linguistic milieu.

Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

Various coordinating and subordinating conjunctions that connect clauses differ in their structural properties. Such properties seem to influence dis course prominence: references to antecedents from main clauses are more frequent than from subordinate. Structurally, coordinate and subordinate clauses, as well as in-between cases, can be distinguished based on the degree of integration to the host ...

The poem Dyr bul shchyl…, unlike the two other adjacent poems in Aleksei Kruchenykh’s book Pomada (Lipstick) (1913), whose words “have no definite meaning,” became one of the most famous poetic texts of the Russian avant-garde.

Boris Pasternak’s poem “Before All That There Was Winter” (from the book “My Sister, Life”) is enigmatic in many ways: its content is obscure, its syntax is not always clear, and the boundaries of its metaphors are not obvious. It requires a thorough and detailed analysis of each line. This analysis was carried out by ...

This article presents a novel corpus-based approach to (im)politeness research, grounded in Terkourafi's theory of politeness as conventionalization, which highlights the frequent use of linguistic forms in specific contexts as key to developing politeness meanings. We propose lexical bundles – recurrent multi-word sequences – as a systematic tool for tracking (im)politeness in discourse. To illustrate ...

In his main works, René Descartes, in addition to such an impressive metaphysical construction, over and over again gives promises of happiness, which must certainly accompany the study of philosophy according to a new model. What exactly is this happiness and is the Cartesian construction capable of fulfilling this promise? For whom can it come? ...

It has long been recognised that the LXX and Targumim share common exegesis of a number of verses and words. In contrast to the hypothesis of a direct influence of the early forms of Targumim on the LXX, I believe that these versions rather reflect a common approach to the interpretation of biblical texts, as ...

In the LXX-Psalter, in about 80% of cases, the choice between past, present, and future/non-indicative (in the present paper we consider future tense and non-indicative moods together) was predetermined by the tenses of the original. As for the remaining 20%, some of these “abnormal” renderings can be explained as inheriting the tense value from the ...
