Abstract

Unlike the traditional formation of Hebrew verbs by extracting roots from existing words, new four consonantal roots in Modern Hebrew are formed by addition of the initial consonants t, ˀ and š to existing roots and by duplication of consonants. The newly formed roots can be explained by historical development, but they might also hint towards the interaction between morphological and functional elements. Verbs formed by initial consonants carry agentive, transitive, and causative meaning whereas root duplication carries repetitive, weakened, derogatory or negative meaning. The conclusion is that the structure of the four-consonantal root modifies meanings rather than the template.
