In the Shadow of the Author

Contemporary Approaches in Translation, Lexicography and Linguistic Analysis


For centuries, scholars have approached ancient Hebrew and Syriac languages in an effort to better understand the voices of their authors and situate their writing in their appropriate historical and cultural contexts. In the Shadow of the Author continues this enduring practice by sharing contemporary approaches to uncovering meaning in historical texts from a linguistic perspective and with special emphasis on translation technique and methods in lexicography and linguistic analysis.
