Book Synopsis Subjectivity in Language and Discourse by : Nicole Baumgarten
Download or read book Subjectivity in Language and Discourse written by Nicole Baumgarten and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subjectivity in Language and in Discourse deals with the linguistic encoding and discursive construction of subjectivity across languages and registers. The aim of this book is to complement the highly specialized, parallel and often separate research strands on the phenomenon of subjectivity with a volume that gives a forum to diverse theoretical vantage points and methodological approaches, presenting research results in one place which otherwise would most likely be found in substantially different publications and would have to be collected from many different sources. Taken together, the chapters in this volume reflect the rich diversity in contemporary research on the phenomenon of subjectivity. They cover numerous languages, colloquial, academic and professional registers, spoken and written discourse, diverse communities of practice, speaker and interaction types, native and non-native language use, and Lingua Franca communication. The studies investigate both already well explored languages and registers (e.g. American English, academic writing, conversation) and with respect to subjectivity, less studied languages (Greek, Italian, Persian, French, Russian, Swedish, Danish, German, Australian English) as well as many different communicative settings and contexts, ranging from conference talk, promotional business writing, academic advising, disease counselling to internet posting, translation, and university classroom and research interview talk. Some contributions focus on individual linguistic devices, such as pronouns, intensifiers, comment clauses, modal verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and their capacity of introducing the speaker's subjective perspective in discourse and interactional sequence; others examine the role of larger functional categories, such as hedging and metadiscourse, or interactional sequencing.
Book Synopsis The Psalms in Form by : J. P. Fokkelman
Download or read book The Psalms in Form written by J. P. Fokkelman and published by Deo Pub. This book was released on 2002 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A formidable and invaluable working tool for those working with the text of Psalms or with Hebrew poetry. The Hebrew text of the Psalms is here set out in a unique way - generally one psalm to each large-format (A4) page - to show their poetic shape and structure, in couplets, triptychs and strophes. The visual impact of the layout tells its own striking story, demonstrating at a glance the skill and artistry with which the Psalms have been composed. With its introduction and notes in English, this book will be a standard tool for students, and it will have significant consequences for the scholarly interpretation of the Psalms.
Book Synopsis Interpreting Hebrew Poetry by : David L. Petersen
Download or read book Interpreting Hebrew Poetry written by David L. Petersen and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a convenient introduction to the unique aspects of interpreting the one-third of the Hebrew Bible that is in poetic form. Numerous are the occasions when a failure to distinguish poetry from prose in the Old Testament has resulted in flawed interpretation. Robert Lowth's Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews (1753, 1787), marked a turning point of major proportions by focusing on the importance of parallelism of lines. But new studies of the past decade now require significant adjustments to Lowth's analyses. Interpreting Hebrew Poetry offers an authoritative introduction to this discussion of parallelism, meter and rhythm, and poetic style. It also provides by way of example a poetic analysis of Deuteronomy 32, Isaiah 5:1-7, and Psalm 1.

Book Synopsis Classical Hebrew Poetry by : Wilfred G. E. Watson
Download or read book Classical Hebrew Poetry written by Wilfred G. E. Watson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of debatable issues, such as metre, we now know enough about classical Hebrew poetry to be able to understand how it was composed. This large-scale manual, rich in detail, exegesis and bibliography, provides guidelines for the analysis and appreciation of Hebrew verse. Topics include oral poetry, metre, parallelism and forms of the strophe and stanza. Sound patterns and imagery are also discussed. A lengthy chapter sets out a whole range of other poetic devices and the book closes with a set of worked examples of Hebrew poetry. Throughout, other ancient Semitic verse has been used for comparison and the principles of modern literary criticism have been applied.
Book Synopsis The Basics of Hebrew Poetry by : Samuel T. S. Goh
Download or read book The Basics of Hebrew Poetry written by Samuel T. S. Goh and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 75 percent of the Old Testament is made up of poetic passages, yet for many readers (lay Christians, even seminary students and pastors), biblical poetic passages remain the greatest challenge. Being unfamiliar with poetry in general and biblical poetry in particular, their reading and preaching are limited to selected poetic passages. This in turn limits their understanding of God's word. To help readers overcome these problems, the first four chapters of this book aim to get them familiarized with the literary techniques of biblical poets. To demonstrate how the techniques work to bring across the biblical theological message, the last three chapters offer poetic analyses of three passages of different kinds. In the process, we hope to draw attention to the beauty of the Hebrew poetic art and to the creative skill of biblical poets' versification. The ultimate aim, however, is to help readers discover the rich message of the Bible.

Book Synopsis A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry by : Uriah Kfir
Download or read book A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry written by Uriah Kfir and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Matter of Geography: A New Perspective on Medieval Hebrew Poetry takes a ground-breaking approach to the relationships between centers of medieval Hebrew poetry and their implications regarding matters of poetics. It shows on the one hand how literary efforts by members of the Spanish school of secular poetry, from its zenith in the eleventh century to the thirteenth century, helped gradually shape its predominance. On the other hand, it presents thirteenth century Hebrew poets from Iraq, Egypt, Italy and Provence, and charts the different strategies of these “peripheral” authors, who had to cope with Iberian fame. The analysis, which draws on concepts from literary and cultural theories, provides close readings of many works in both the original Hebrew and, in most cases for the first time, an English translation. "Kfir’s book makes a strong case for the craft, vibrancy, and richness of Medieval Hebrew poetry as rooted in place. Highly recommended for scholars of medieval Hebrew poetry, poetry aficionados, and historians." - David B. Levy, Touro College, in: Association of Jewish LIbraries 8.4 (2018)

Book Synopsis The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse by : T. Carmi
Download or read book The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse written by T. Carmi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-06-29 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stunning anthology gathers together the riches of poetry in Hebrew from 'The Song of Deborah' to contemporary Israeli writings. Verse written up to the tenth century show the development of piyut, or liturgical poetry, and retell episodes from the Bible and exalt the glory of God. Medieval works introduce secular ideas in love poems, wine songs and rhymed narratives, as well as devotional verse for specific religious rituals. Themes such as the longing for the homeland run through the ages, especially in verse written after the rise of the Zionist movement, while poems of the last century marry Biblical references with the horrors of the Holocaust. Together these works create a moving portrait of a rich and varied culture through the last 3,000 years.
