Discourse Analysis and Bible Translation | |
|
With simplified language and terminology, this coursebook assists Bible translators with limited linguistics training to recognize differences in natural structures of the target and source languages for both narrative and behavioral genres. Concepts are carefully introduced with illustrative examples from both the Old and New Testaments followed by questions, exercises, and applications.
This book is printed in full color to enhance the illustrations: “We used markers of one color for the poetic text and markers of other colors for different parts of the analysis.”
| Stephen H. Levinsohn is a senior linguistics consultant with SIL International. Since 1997 he has run Discourse for Translation workshops in 20 countries for linguist-translators working with over 400 languages and continues to provide consultant help by email. | |

Analyzing the Psalms: With Exercises for Bible Students and Translators
The purpose of this textbook is to introduce Bible students and translators to the basic compositional structure and literary style of Hebrew poetry, especially the lyric-liturgical poetry found in the book of Psalms. Wendland follows a “discourse analysis” approach–examining different aspects of the poetic texts as an integrated whole. His primary focus is upon the formal features of the psalms, but elements of content (key terms) and function (psalm types or genres) also receive due consideration.
Ernst R. Wendland, South African Theological Seminary, is the author of numerous studies on the Bantu languages of South Central Africa, biblical exegesis, and translation theory.
