Variations of this hypothesis and its uses have been investigated by Bochner 1993, Soukka 2000, Luís and Spencer 2005, and Stump 2017a, b, 2023, among others. The relevant phenomenon is illustrated for derivational suffixes in (1), see Stump 2017b for the demonstration that (1) involves a complex suffix rather than iterative addition.

A variety of these approaches have led to important insights for the analysis of Biblical Hebrew, especially with regard to the study of its meaning. This expert meeting brings together leading international specialists to present and discuss current research at the intersection of Cognitive Linguistics and the Hebrew Bible.

The term itself goes back to the Latin finitus, the perfective participle of the verb finio, ‘finish, limit’ (Nikolaeva 2007: 1), illustrating the traditional view that finite verb forms are ‘limited’ by categories such as person, number, tense or mood, etc., while nonfinite verb forms (e.g., infinitive, participles, gerunds) are not marked for these categories.
