The chapter opens with a description of “the Semitic family of languages”, then describes
characteristically Semitic facets of Hebrew morphology with reference to the consonantal root, the pronominal,
nominal, and verbal systems, and the lexicon. It concludes
with comments on the controversial status of MH, viewed by some as an independent “Ísraeli” as against a language
still closely affiliated with its Semitic roots.
