This is a collection of articles on the subject of intertextuality in the Bible.</p> <p>The main premise of intertextuality studies is that any particular text necessarily exists in the environment of other texts written prior to it, and reflects them to varying degrees. This characteristic of texts in general also applies to the Bible, which by its nature is a compilation of books written at different times in different places by individuals who spoke different languages. The Bible is filled with self-citations and references and allusions. The authors of the New Testament frequently quote the Old Testament; however, the cited text often conveys a slightly different meaning from that of the original text in light of the new context in which it is being used...</p> </div> <div class="node-links-container"><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/news-29062021" rel="tag" title="news-29062021" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about news-29062021</span></a></li></ul> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-row"><article data-history-node-id="1519" class="node node-type-newsletter node-view-mode-teaser"> <h2 class="node-title"> <a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-180419" rel="bookmark"><span>newsletter-180419</span> </a> </h2> <div class="node-content"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-180419" hreflang="en">Analyzing Discourse: A Manual of Basic Concepts published in Russian</a></div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field-item"><p><div class="image-medium mod-insert align-left" style=" height:220px; margin:5px 10px; width:151px"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/Analis_Discoursa_0_emb_styles_medium.JPG.webp?itok=-GKow41Y" width="151" height="220" alt class="image-field"> </div> </div> </p> <p>A Russian translation of <em>Analyzing Discourse: A Manual of Basic Concepts </em>by Robert A.

The present edition was translated and contextualized by Russian linguists with the contemporary Russian speaker in mind.</p> <p>The purpose of this book is to acquaint future field linguists with the basic concepts of discourse analysis, so that they can use them in analyzing linguistic material gathered in various languages. Having a sound grasp of textual discourse concepts and other principles of communication is necessary for studying a foreign language, doing lexical, semantic and morphosyntactic analysis, or carrying out practical tasks such as teaching, expressive writing or translating.</p> </div> <div class="node-taxonomy-container field--name-field-pdf-file field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <ul class="taxonomy-terms"> <li> <div> <div class="block"> <div class="block-content"> <div class="box-icon2"> <div class="icon"> <i class="fa fa-file-text" aria-hidden="true"></i> </div> <div class="box-content"> <h4>Download</h4> <div class="field field--name-field-media-document field--type-file field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Document</div> <div class="field-item"><span class="file file--mime-application-epub+zip file--general"><a href="/sites/default/files/files/%D0%A0%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%82%20%D0%94%D1%83%D0%BB%D0%B8_%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%20%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BD%20-%20%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%20%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%80%D1%81%D0%B0%20-%20%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5%20%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F.epub" type="application/epub+zip">Роберт Дули_Стивен Левинсон - Анализ дискурса - базовые понятия.epub</a></span> <span>(820.1 KB)</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="node-links-container"><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-180419" rel="tag" title="newsletter-180419" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about newsletter-180419</span></a></li></ul> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-row"><article data-history-node-id="1500" class="node node-type-newsletter node-view-mode-teaser"> <h2 class="node-title"> <a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-240219" rel="bookmark"><span>newsletter-240219</span> </a> </h2> <div class="node-content"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-240219" hreflang="en">Tatar-language edition of The Taurat, Zabur, Injil, and Koran: Parallel Passages</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-date-text field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item">24/02/2019</div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field-item"><p><div class="image-medium mod-insert align-left" style=" height:220px; margin:5px 10px; width:153px"> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field-item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/Tatar_B_Q_0_emb_styles_medium.JPG.webp?itok=AcXyVqIT" width="153" height="220" alt class="image-field"> </div> </div> The Institute for Bible Translation is pleased to announce a new edition of <em>The Bible and the Koran: Parallel Passages, </em>a scholarly work that presents the reader with passages from the Jewish and Christian Scriptures that find their parallels in the Koran, the sacred text of Islam.
