Grammar as a religious metaphor (C01)

• Subject Area: Greek and Latin Philology
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 441126958

This project focuses on grammar as a source domain for religious metaphors. The project’s aim is twofold: Part 1 is an explorative scrutinizing study based on a number of special texts that show a semantic revitalization of grammatical metaphors; Part 2 will sieve the corpus of the Grammatici Latini in order to feed the TRM and will be an exploration as well, intended to identi-fy further grammatical texts (or parts of texts) providing religious metaphors.
