| Gaia: | According to Joan Corominas, before 1250 the emerging Spanish language was called “Ladino”. It is in this language that, for pedagogical purposes, Hebrew biblical and liturgical texts were translated, albeit in a strictly word-for-word fashion. For each Hebrew word one Spanish word was used, and this item always remained the same, unless objections were raised on exegetical grounds. Thus, the item shalom always corresponds to paz, whatever the contextual meaning (peace, state of health…), and thus presents a case of lexical and semantic calque. Of course, the syntax was also calqued from Hebrew. Thus in order to distinguish Ladino from the Spanish that was exported in 1492 by the exiles from Spain, I have called this variety Judeo-Spanish calque, while I reserve the term Judeo-Spanish vernacular for the spoken language. This gives an idea of the multifaceted issues involved in Judeo-Spanish linguistics. |
