Sommario/riassunto |
|
Religious studies have long discussed the comparative notion of holy beyond religious, cultural, and linguistic boundaries. In this book, Thomas Jurczyk conducts a diachronic comparison of the meaning and application of two notions and their related word fields that are commonly associated with a broader comparative notion of holy, namely the Ancient Armenian term surb and its related words and the English word field associated with holy. To compare these two semantic |

fields, his methodological approach operates on the principle of distributional semantics and applies, among others, tools and methods from the field of corpus linguistics. |
