| Abstract | ||
| This research aims to investigate the phenomenon of "Hysteron Proteron," which involves the deliberate reversal of word order for rhetorical purposes. The focus is on exploring the significance of "Hysteron Proteron" in the Hebrew MT, its underlying motivations, and comparing its translation in the Syriac Peshitta to identify similarities and differences. The study focuses on two main aspects: Firstly, it analyzes the grammatical and syntactic functions of "Hysteron Proteron" in both nominal and verbal clauses, using functional grammar principles and dividing verses in the MT. Secondly, it delves into understanding the stylistic and pragmatic aspects of "Hysteron Proteron" in the respective languages. The research adopts a practical comparative linguistic approach, supplemented by a statistical study that examines and analyzes a sample of instances of "Hysteron Proteron". Through this investigation, the research aims to shed light on the nature and implications of this rhetorical device in Hebrew and its translation in Syriac. | ||
