In this volume Andrew Chin Hei Leong shows that the concepts of balance, alliance, and completeness form the basic semantic structure of ''whole``. Previous studies on ''whole`` employed either historical or textual methodology, which has been dominant in biblical lexical studies. In addition to these methods, in Leong develops a systematic semantic methodology from Cognitive Semantics and Frame Semantics, to demonstrate that it is balance, rather than completeness, that is the most central concept in holding the semantic network together''--", note="by Andrew Chin Hei Leong", note="Includes bibliographical references and index", isbn="9789004469778", doi="10.1163/9789004469778", url="https://brill.com/abstract/title/60860", url="https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004469778", language="English" }
