Description

Explore a new perspective on the history of Yiddish with this scholarly work from Brill Studies in Language Contact and the Dynamics of Language. Traditionally, Yiddish has been categorized as a Germanic language through the standard Language Tree Model. However, this book utilizes modern advances in contact linguistics to examine the language through the lens of the mixed language spectrum. By analyzing the significant role of the Slavic component, this text moves beyond viewing Slavic elements as mere isolated borrowings. Instead, it presents evidence that these elements form a coherent system within the grammar itself. This research suggests that Slavic languages played a constitutive role in the very inception of the language. This volume is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in historical and comparative linguistics, language contact, and the evolution of Eastern-European Jewish idioms.
