„Obym się rozradował w rozradowaniu ludów Twoich”. Rzecz o konstrukcjach pleonastycznych w cerkiewnosłowiańskich redakcjach Księgi Psalmów
“That I may rejoice in the joy of Thy nation”: On Pleonastic Constructions in Church Slavonic Redactions of the Book of Psalms

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on pleonasms extracted from the OCS Psalterium Sinaiticum and investigates their preservation in later representatives of successive CS Psalter redactions. In order to examine the use of the constructions under scrutiny, the (O)CS Psalters have been compared with one another and with the Greek and the Hebrew patterns of translation. The study provides a detailed description of lexical choices with respect to pleonasms present in selected contexts of the Psalter. It also considers analogical structures discussed in the literature on the subject, stressing a specifically emphatic character of (O)CS Psalter pleonasms, similar to that of their Greek and Hebrew equivalents. As observed, the use of pleonasms in the compared (O)CS Psalters is distinctly consistent and generally based on the Greek/Hebrew sources. Cases that could testify to these Biblical stylistic structures having already become independent on the Slavic ground are noted as exceptions.
