Gastvortrag: Dr. Julia Krivoruchko (Cambridge): Byzantine and Early Modern Judeo-Greek text: typology and linguistic characteristics

Eintritt frei

The lecture will start with a short survey of the history of post-Hellenistic Greek-speaking Jewish communities and the assessment of current historiographical trends. It will be follo-wed by a review of genres widely represented in the Judeo-Greek corpus: biblical translati-ons, liturgical texts and poetry. Short textual samples will be discussed, with the commenta-ry centred on issues of traditionality and innovation, as well as the relationship between mainstream Greek and Judeo-Greek language varieties. Dr Julia G. Krivoruchko has been a Research Associate of the University of Cambridge since 2006, having previously taught Ancient and Modern Greek linguistics and literature in the universities of Israel, Greece, Ukraine and Russia. She received a Ph.D. in Classics from Moscow State University. Her thesis on the semantics of ἔθνος was completed under the supervision of Professor Leonid A. Gindin. Dr Krivoruchko’s research interests revolve around Judeo-Greek language varieties, Greek sociolinguistics and dialectology, historical lexicology and lexicography, Greek Biblical trans-lations of Byzantine and recent periods, as well as language contacts between Greek, Semitic and Slavic languages. Her current work consists in computer-assisted processing of the re-search data generated around the Cambridge Cairo Genizah collection in order to foster the study of its manuscripts. Her research projects have been funded by the A. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Friedberg Genizah Foundation.
