Certainly a subject I would avoid for a dissertation. I would think that any new player in the field is open to get pulled to pieces on the basis of scholarly opinions rather than facts.
I still like to say - "until we find Moses tape recorder".
See last paragraph on page 21.
This is why I do not use Arabic as a guide. I am very wary of diachronic order of supposed cognates and whether they are genuine cognates.
I think the general view of his work has been positive or it's been taken quite seriously, but there will be criticisms, no matter what the dissertation is about.
Pairing cognates has its difficulties, but some cognates seem pretty well established.
"While the Neogrammarian hypothesis itself is not without problems, Suchard’s work ably brings this perspective to bear on the text of the Hebrew Bible for scholars in the field." - https://cbs.mbts.edu/2020/10/22/book-notice-the-development-of-the-biblical-hebrew-vowels/
I see what you're saying now. I did post the same link though that was not my intent. It was supposed to be a different link that illustrated how scholars have responded to Suchard's dissertation and his subsequent book. But the comment you posted about his book echoes what others have said elsewhere.

Thanks for providing the link for Suchard's other work. I had not seen that one.
Was that supposed to be a different link?
ReplyDeleteI think you posted the right link; it's Suchard's work on Daniel and loanwords.
ReplyDeleteYou posted the same link?
