Representatives of Israel Broadcasting Authority’s committee on language and other Hebrew scholars met this week with members of the recording industry to look into how to improve grammar in popular radio songs.
IBA’s language adviser, Ruth Almagor, reportedly insisted that the objective was not censorship but the prevention of a grammatical abuse of Hebrew.
The music industry representatives agreed to come up with a mechanism whereby the lyrics would be given to language experts for their evaluation.
