A review by lpm100
How the Hebrew Language Grew by Edward Horowitz
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
This is a brilliant book, and one to which I have returned time and time again.
Of course, it works fine as a book to read all the way through from start to finish.
But, it also works as a reference book for when a person is looking for deeper information about some obscure spelling/conjugation in the context of Torah reading.
I also believe that this book is helpful for professional students (Yeshiva bochurim/Kollel penguins) because even though they study this language all day everyday, very very VERY if you have them have thought about the grammatical structure of the Hebrew. (It's to the point where if somebody talks too much in the Beit midrash, you can get them to be completely silent if you ask them a question about any grammatical aspect of the Hebrew.)
