Relevance Theory and the Hebrew Bible - a Few Resources
Posted: Wed Sep 02, 2020 7:42 am
Over at B-Greek I started to compile a list of resources dealing with the New Testament in various ways through the lens of Relevance Theory
https://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/vi ... =10&t=4859
The list below is a start at this for the Old Testament, dealing with RT and Hebrew either in passing or as a focus. Due to a scarcity of material on this, some of the resources do not exclusively use RT here, but discuss it at some point.
For general works on translation theory and application in this theoretical framework, follow the link above
