Lecturer: Laila Šprajc
One of the ancient, and perhaps the oldest living languages, is certainly Hebrew. In the periods when it was not the vernacular, it remained the language of prayer, Torah study, and philosophical and literary creativity. At the end of the 19th century, by integrating old and new elements, the modern Hebrew language was created.
What are the similarities and differences between biblical and modern Hebrew? How to find a way out of the labyrinth of translation? How to faithfully follow the source language without distorting the target language? Along with numerous other questions, Laila Šprajc, a translator from Hebrew, will try to give some (in)appropriate answers.
