FUNKCJE WIELKIEJ LITERY W TEKŚCIE EKUMENICZNEGO PRZEKŁADU NOWEGO TESTAMENTU
Capital Letter Functions in the Text of the Ecumenical Translation of the New Testament

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to review capital letter functions in the written version of selected names from the text of the ecumenical translation of the New Testament. The analysis focused on semantic and emotional-honorific functions of capital letters, missing out their syntactic and graphic functions, as being the same as in non-biblical texts. Capital letter is a graphic representation of proprietary aspect (onymity), i.e. a certain change in contents and semantic capacity, determined by context. Comparatively, Catholic translations were referred to: Biblia Tysi¹clecia (The Millennium Bible) and Biblia Warszawsko-Praska (The Warsaw-Praga Bible), as well as the protestant Biblia warszawska (The Warsaw Bible). The use of capital letter or lack of it signalizes confessional (dogmatic) differences.
