Homonymous Roots Between Exegesis and Textual Criticism: The Case of חבלי־מות and חבלי שאול in Ps 18,5-6
Biblica. 2024. Vol. 105. No. 4. P. 494–505.
Discussing the variants חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 and משברי־מות in 2 Sam 22,5 I join Talmon in considering them not transmission errors, but synonymous readings. However, I demonstrate that the equating of these two terms as both denoting “birth pangs” is not attested in the Hebrew Bible but is a later exegetical development. I argue that חבלי־מות in Psa 18,5 should be interpreted as “destructions of death” (from the root ḫbl). In this sense, it constitutes an appropriate synonymous pairing for משברי־מות “breakers of death”, and its juxtaposition with the expression חבלי שאול “cords of Sheol” in verse 6 is an intended wordplay.

The paper addresses the phenomenon of polygrammaticalization based on data from Udi, a lesser-studied language of the Nakh-Daghestanian family. In Udi, two function words sal and saal share the same source structure and represent combinations of the numeral ‘one’ with the additive clitic ‘also, even’. Synchronically, the two words are both formally and functionally distinct: whereas sal is an emphatic negative ...

Sukhovo-Kobylin (1817-1903), a playwright, was ahead of his time; his harsh laughter, descriptions of absurd reality in the trilogy "Pictures of the Past" (1869) and prophecies turned out to be consonant with the turning points of the twentieth century.

While Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized NLP, they remain prone to hallucinations, reasoning “mode-collapse” in open-ended generation, and a lack of factual provenance. The Automated Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) workshop addresses a key missing piece of the generative era: structured knowledge.

Typologies of possessive systems usually distinguish lexical and semantic splits between inalienable and alienable possession. Much less attention has been paid to the next boundary on the extended scale, namely the boundary between alienable and super-alienable possession.
