Revisiting presentative particles
The present study explores the Israeli Hebrew particle hine , traditionally classified as a presentative particle, through a pragmatic-interactional lens using mostly video-recorded data. Our findings challenge the conventional view that hine primarily serves to draw attention to a referent. Instead, we argue that hine indicates a change in the speaker’s or interlocutor’s (or both) perceptual access to a relevant entity within the interaction’s i…
Turn-initial ki ‘because’-clauses as a rhetorical responsive practice in Hebrew Facebook comments
This study examines the pragmatic-rhetorical functions of turn-initial Hebrew ki ‘because’-clauses in readers’ comments on politicians’ Facebook posts. An analysis of 100 ki -clauses, responding to either politicians’ posts or comments by other commenters, reveals that they provide explanations and justifications for claims and positions regarding a particular action, general conduct or way of thinking of the previous speaker, or a third party. I…
Eye closures in spoken Hebrew
The present study focuses on eye closure (EC) as a communicative facial gesture in Israeli Hebrew media talk and pays particular attention to its coordination with co-expressive verbal, prosodic, and embodied resources. Drawing on the interactional approach to language and embodied action, the study demonstrates that EC can convey four contextual meanings — concentration, hedging, negation , and totality — depending on the context in which it occ…
Orienting to knowledge as remarkable
Does being pretty help
The article analyzes debut interviews of female Israeli politicians, in which the interviewees are faced with questions or statements that imply that their gender, ethnicity or background prevent them from fulfilling their function as politicians successfully, in accordance with the “Gendered mediation thesis” (GoodYear-Grant 2013). We focus on the interviewees’ responses to these questions, and particularly on how grammatically negative utteranc…
Revisiting “verbal agreement”
This paper questions the adequacy of the notion ‘verbal agreement’ with respect to the inflectional marking of person in verbal paradigms, using Israeli Hebrew (IH) as a case study. With regard to IH, the paper argues against the agreement interpretation of the inflectional affixes of the person-inflected paradigms in general, and against the assumption that third person verbs are not marked for person in particular. Adopting a corpus-based and a…

Reassessing the third person pronominal "copula" in spoken Israeli Hebrew
This paper reassesses the widespread claim in Hebrew linguistics that the medial third person pronoun in the "subject NP + pronoun + predicate" construction in Israeli Hebrew functions either as copula, or as a referential subject in an extrapositional sentence. Based on the examination of this construction in Hebrew conversation, as represented in The Corpus of Spoken Israeli Hebrew (CoSIH), and based on theoretical considerations, the paper arg…
