Author of quotes: Nora Gal

“The Word Alive and the Dead” is a generalization of the many years of creativity of both Nora Gal herself and her wonderful colleagues. At the same time, this work goes far beyond the actual translation problems. Analyzing typical mistakes that penetrate into prose and journalism, on radio and television, and opposing them with brilliant examples of live Russian speech, she makes an invaluable contribution to the now so urgent struggle for the purity and dignity of the Russian language.
