| Summary: | Word order in Biblical Hebrew narrative is important. When a configuration other than the default or canonical word order is used, the word order is marked.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether these "marked"configurations do indeed communicate something more specific than the default word order and, if so, what effect this has on the wider discourse. |
