Description

This scholarly volume reframes Yiddish, the historical language of Eastern European Jews, through the lens of modern contact linguistics rather than traditional Germanic classification models. The book presents a groundbreaking argument that Slavic elements within Yiddish form a coherent grammatical system rather than isolated borrowings, revealing that Slavic languages played a constitutive role in Yiddish's development. By examining Yiddish within the mixed language spectrum, the author demonstrates how language contact theory offers new insights into linguistic structure and evolution. Part of the Brill Studies in Language Contact and the Dynamics of Language series, this work is essential for linguists, historians, and scholars studying historical and comparative linguistics, language contact phenomena, and Jewish cultural and linguistic heritage. The text bridges gaps between traditional divergence-based models and contemporary understanding of how languages interact and blend.

Key Features

Examines Yiddish as a mixed language within the contact linguistics framework, challenging traditional Germanic-only classification approaches.

Analyzes Slavic grammatical systems within Yiddish as coherent structures rather than isolated adstratal borrowings, revealing deeper linguistic integration.
