Abstract
Moving from the Hebrew original, through the LXX, the Vulgata and the version of Luther, up to some modern European languages, this paper discusses the possibility of restoring the actual content of Gen. 1, 6-10, which is deeply permeated by tradition and its original culture. It argues that this content is unavoidably bound in its expression to the language in which it is written, and propose this particular example in order to debate Joel Sherzer’s view of a “Discourse-Centered Approach to Language and Cultures”.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
