Abstract

This paper examines the term Tripartite Nominal Sentence in Biblical Hebrew, questions its justification, and supports analysis of it as involving extraposition. The paper reviews the so-called Tripartite Nominal Sentence in several Semitic languages and Semitic Bible translations in comparison to Biblical Hebrew, and suggests that its basic structure is not tripartite but bipartite. It is also suggested that analysis of it as bipartite should occur on two levels: one of an extraposed subject and a predicate clause, together forming a bipartite construction, and another of a subject and a predicate within the predicate clause, together forming a bipartite construction again.
