Subject: Pronouns in NASB? |
Bible Note: Hi, bobby... I don't see them suggesting they will change the gender of a pronoun. At the risk of a second misunderstanding, let me see if we can create another example: "Bobby is new to the forum. He has posted a question. His post was answered." They might then do the following: "Bobby is new to the forum. The new forum member posted a question. Bobby's post was answered." Note that the pronouns are replaced first with a title and second with the name. Maybe it isn't a good example, but I think it demonstrates the quote you gave us. This could be done without altering the strict meaning of the text. Indeed, it might make it more clear to the target language readers. As I pointed out in my first reply, how we look at antecedents has changed over the years. Certainly there must be significant differences of just that nature when going from one language to another. Anyway, I think you've got the right sense of their objective in the last sentence of your last post. In Him, Doc |
