Linguistic approaches to Form Criticism and Genre Analysis - suggestions for scholars to invite to present a paper
SBL Annual Meeting, San Antonio 2023. The Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew Section solicits papers for four sessions:
The SECOND SESSION is a thematic session entitled ‘Linguistic Approaches to Form Criticism and Genre Analysis’. This topic touches on the most traditional issues of biblical studies—form criticism, textual growth, and literary genre of biblical compositions. Many of these issues should be approached from a linguistic point of view: the digital corpus analysis of lexicon, phraseology, and grammatical constructions opens new perspectives on the analysis of the linguistic profile of texts and their interrelations; the definition of literary genres correlates with text-linguistics and discourse analysis. We invite papers that combine linguistic and literary methods of text analysis.
I am a member of the Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew unit at SBL and we are soliciting for scholars to invite to present papers to this session. If you have some suggestions, kindly notify me and include their email address. Mine is bjamisheck@biblesocieties.org.

Thanks, writing you to your email address. There are several unidentified genres in the Bible because Biblical criticism is led by western people and their own languages did not have those genres.
