Naude naudej@ufs.ac.za Cynthia L. Miller-Naude naudej@ufs.ac.za <p>Acrostic poems in Biblical Hebrew are structured both by the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet at the beginning of successive&nbsp; strophes as well as by the ordinary features of poetic style. In this essay we consider how these two aspects of poetic style interact with&nbsp; the poet’s syntactic choices in the first poem of the Book of Lamentations (1:1-11) in order to determine to what extent the poetic&nbsp; constraints have hampered or warped the syntactic structures employed in the poetic lines or half-lines.</p> 2024-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024 https://www.ajol.info/index.php/splp/article/view/264144 Linguistic dualities: Deconstructible or defensible? 2024-02-05T07:11:05+00:00 Bertus van Rooy a.j.vanrooy@uva.nl <p>No Abstract</p> 2024-02-05T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2024
