| Summary: | From surveys descriptionbing the development of Hebrew lexicography, from the first known Hebrew dictionary of Saadia Gaon to the most recent revisions of Koehler-Baumgartner, it appears that little has changed regarding methods of arranging the entries and determining and reflecting meaning. In our commonly known lexica words are listed alphabetically and original meanings are assigned on the strength of etymological evidence. From the original meanings additional meanings are extrapolated. In the project, an Old Testament Dictionary of Semantic Domains, a new approach is attempted in which words of closely related meaning are grouped together (and distinguished from each other) and etymologising disregarded. |
