The 'Grammar' of Sacrifice: A Generativist Study of the Israelite Sacrificial System in the Priestly Writings with A 'Grammar' of S
Meshel, Naphtali S. (Assistant Professor of Religion and Judaic Studies, Assistant Professor of Religion and Judaic Studies, Princeton University)
Focusing on S--the idealized sacrificial system represented in the Priestly laws in the Pentateuch--this study demonstrates that a ritual system is describable in terms of a set of concise, unconsciously internalized, generative rules, analogous to the grammar of a natural language.
