Scholars increasingly apply Cognitive Linguistic methods to study the language of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). A variety of these approaches have led to important insights for the analysis of Biblical Hebrew, especially with regard to the study of its meaning. This expert meeting brings together leading international specialists to present and discuss current research at the intersection of Cognitive Linguistics and the Hebrew Bible.
The invited speakers are: Ian Atkinson (Cambridge University / Scriptura), Reinier de Blois (UBS), Christian Locatell (Cambridge University), Hanneke van Loon (KU Leuven), Paola Mollo (Sapienza / Pontifical Biblical Insitute), Godwin Mushayabasa (North-West University), Elizabeth Robar (Cambridge University / Scriptura), Talia Sutskover (Tel Aviv University), and Pierre Van Hecke (KU Leuven).
Scholars, students, and anyone interested in cutting-edge linguistic research on meaning and other aspects of Biblical Hebrew are invited to join this meeting and participate in the conversation. Register now and join us on campus or online!
