Abstract

Distinguishing terminologically and conceptually between polysemy, polyvalence, and double coding, this essay outlines a framework for treating instances of discursive polysemy in the Hebrew Bible. Particular attention is given to the Song of Songs, the polysemous nature of which is demonstrated through discussions of Song 5:2-6 and 5:7.
