Workspace on Trible

• Questions about Trible's chapter

Claims

• NPOV
• Normative

Evidence/reasoning

• intanalysis of social norms -- woman has less power or status, man has the power and status (last para 69) (KK)
  • legally and socially not equivalent of wife... slave... 66

Methods

• p.66-67 literary about desertion, how the sentences are formed, man and woman in opposition and dissonance,
  • polarities in content of parallel sentences that have the same structure
  • polarity in grammar, man as subject, woman as object (HG)
    • switch -- highlights her active -- only time (what page?)
      • p.77, first time female as subject of a verb, she collapses
  • see also p.77, contrast in day/night content of clauses/sentences --> different conclusion, method (SL)
  • word choice -- from plural to singular -- how the woman is not safe (TW)
• 67 different literary analysis -- vocabulatory (GR)
• intra-lingual analysis of verbs -- choice of verbs demonstrate intensity (3rd para, 80) (DM)
• inter-lingual (?) -- comparisons of Greek and Hebrew versions, eg p.79 3rd paragraph -- concubine died, Heb ambiguous (DM
• Hebrew nuance due to the gendered character of the grammatical forms (DM SL)
