Reference to Quantification in Gaza; The Survival of Obsolete Hebrew in Idiomatic Expressions
This is a sociolinguistic analysis of some very common ways in the dialect to refer to concepts of time and space on one hand, and other types of quantification on the other. Those concepts of time and space do not depend so much upon any one system within the grammar, as they do upon the ways of analyzing and reporting experiences which have become fixed in the language as integrated fashions of speaking. Those fashions of speaking are shown here in relating major events of the past, to time when and duration, in reference to age, place, space, etc. Through some very interesting loosetypes of adverbial constructions we report and analyze the oblique, indirect, approximated and circumstantial manner by which reference is made to those concepts in the language.
