S20-211a Hebrew Bible Technology Buffet
From the webpage:
On Sunday, November 20th 2016, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM, GERT will host a session with the theme “Hebrew Bible Technology Buffet” at the SBL Annual Meeting in room 305 of the Convention Center. Barry Bandstra of Hope College will preside.
The session has four presentations:
- Janet Dyk, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Dirk Roorda, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Valence Patterns and Translation Proposals within SHEBANQ (30 min)- Mathias Coeckelbergs, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Using Topic Modeling for Multilingual Concept Comparison. Evidence from the Hebrew Bible and the Septuagint (30 min)- Randall Tan, Global Bible Initiative
Total Link: The Power of Alignment for Bible Translation (30 min)- Drayton C. Benner, Miklal Software Solutions and James R. Covington, University of Chicago
A New Transliteration of the Hebrew Bible (30 min)Presentations will be followed by a discussion session.
You will need to register for the Annual Meeting to attend the session.
Assuming they are checking “badges” to make sure attendees have registered. Registration is very important to those who “foster” biblical scholarship by comping travel and rooms for their close friends.
PS: The website reports non-member registration is $490.00. I would like to think that is a mis-print but I suspect its not.
That’s one way to isolate yourself from an interested public. By way of contrast, snail-mail Biblical Greek courses in the 1890’s had tens of thousands of subscribers. When academics complain of being marginalized, use this as an example of self-marginalization.
