Tiberian vocalization, diachronic linguistics, reading traditionsAbstract
In an appreciable number of instances, the Tiberian Hebrew vocalization of words or forms in the Hebrew Bible differs between the early and late sub-corpora. This phenomenon suggests that the oral reading tradition issuing in the received text of the Hebrew Bible reaches back further than is commonly envisaged.
