Words and More

This volume, as part of Baker Academic's Essentials of Biblical Greek Grammar will cover the area of lexical semantics, making it essentially the first major volume to address this topic with linguistic rigour since Moises Silva's Biblical Words and Their Meaning (1983, reprinted 1994). 

In this volume, which will be tailored to the aims of the series, I will be revisiting the topic of my Master's thesis, Monosemy and Polysemy in Biblical Studies: A Minimalist Basis for Empirical Analysis of the Biblical Languages. You can also take a look at my two articles on Monosemy in Biblical Studies, which reviewed two major monographs in which monosemy played a central role, and Monosemy for Biblical Studies, which is my own proposal about how we need to think about biblical words and their meanings, and illustration of how the core idea of monosemy (which is that context modulates meaning) are already well established in the field.

This book will be forthcoming as the final volume in the series.
