Abstract	:	Northwest Semitic syntax has been explored extensively on a phrasal and clausal level. This has contributed much to our understanding of the languages in this linguistic family. There have also been numerous studies on micro level, and isolated occurrences of literary devices within the corpus of texts. This dissertation will examine Northwest Semitic inscriptional material from the 10 th -5th centuries B.C., and include writings from the Phoenician, Moabite and Hebrew languages The inscriptions will be analyzed based on a text level approach, and it will be demonstrated how clauses and sentences work together to form larger syntactic units. Additionally, the literary structure of the texts will be defined, and macro level literary devices will be demonstrated as operative within the inscriptions. As these larger levels of literary devices can only be detected when viewed in combination with the syntax of the compositions as a whole, the two approaches will be examined independently, yet cooperatively. Thus the syntax and literary structure of the texts will complement each other, as the syntax is the vehicle that conveys the literary devices within the inscriptions.
