In this monograph the contributions by Dr. Irena Avsenik Nabergoj and Acad. Jože Krašovec are results of research into the meaning of the »word« in literary works. Irena Avsenik Nabergoj deals with symbolism and semantics of longing, love and beauty, Jože Krašovec semantics and stylistics of interpersonal relationships, where the role of the world is especially important. The study of longing, love and beauty is based on an analysis of certain particularly influential philosophers, theologians, literary critics, poets and writers from antiquity to the present. In the second half the study provides literary analyses of some literary works (Songs of Songs, Dante, Prešeren, Jenko). The study of the semantics and stylistics of interpersonal relations analyses the discourse on the meaning of the fundamental structure of language and of literary representation, and in so doing it aks fundamental questions about the possibilities and limits of expressing interpersonal relations in the communal sources of Judaism and Christianity.

COBISS.SI-ID: 268080128Metaphors and stereotypes express reality and the truth only partially, so their authenticity and their function in language, grammar and semantics are determined by the range of our physical and cultural experience, which is the basis of their abstraction. In some cases, metaphorical concepts can be extended from the domains of literal meaning into the range of figurative language. Figurative language often serves to express basic and cultural values. Within the mainstream culture evaluation is partly influenced by subculture, which shares basic values, but prioritises them differently. This contribution deals with the stereotypes and symbols of the themes of greed and wandering in relation to Jewish subculture.

COBISS.SI-ID: 53232226The Slovenian Jerusalem edition of the Bible is a new annotated translation of the Bible. Of special importance for the translators was the endeavour for congruity between the original and the translation in regard of style, the strucutre of literary forms and the tradtion in vocabulary. The wisdom and prophetic literature is predominantly composed in poetic form, therefore the main attention was paid to semantics and to basic forms of Hebrew poetry in order to preserve the wide meaning of the basic vocabulary and the elevated poetic-rhetoric language. The Bible is the best possible source of religious and cultural life, because it is the purest fruit of an inner divine-human inspiration, a total synthesis of universal experiences and of natural system of symbols. The word, the symbol, the story and the high poetry com-plement each other under the preassure ov inner life. The possibility of translating our inner life within the creative inheritance of our languages demonstrate that the human spirit is universal. The more portions or the entire Bible are used in liturgy and in education, the more dynamic, all embracing and pozitive is human development.
