Mony AlmalechMony Almalech is a professor at the New Bulgarian University and a guest professor at the Institute for the Bulgarian Language with Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and at the Higher Evangelical Theological Institute. His scientific interests are in thefield of the Bulgarian language, Hebraic studies and semiotics. His development was influenced by a two-year specialization with Professor Dimitri Segal at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1993-94). He created the first Hebrew-Bulgarian Dictionary (2004). His knowledge of Hebrew has allowed him to analyse the original text of the Bible in comparison with various translations, applying the tools of traditional and modern linguistics. The first volume of his Biblical Hermeneutic project, Colour in the Torah, was published in 2006. The interdisciplinary analysis of colour is a distinctive feature of his works on colour in folklore, literature and advertising: Balkan Folk Colour Language (1996); Colour and Word: Psycholinguistic and Pragmatic Aspects (2001); Roots: The Semiotics of Colour (2006); The Language of Colour (2007). His first monograph back in 1993 was on Bulgarian grammar, and he has never abandoned the subject: Language and Idiolect: The Language of Bulgarian Jews in Israel (2006). Read More Read Less
