{"product_id":"anglishyinglish-gene-bluestein-9780803261471","title":"Anglish\/Yinglish: Yiddish in American Life and Literature, Second Edition","description":"Writers have celebrated the fruitful dialogue between English and Yiddish for decades. In this engrossing lexicon, Gene Bluestein reveals the full extent of that dialogue, introducing \"Anglish, or Anglicized Yiddish, in which a Yiddish word is integrated into English usage, as in 'shmo'and 'shmoozing'; and Yinglish, or Yiddishized English, in which an English word is integrated into Yiddish usage, as in 'allrightnik, ' or the expression 'a Heifitz he isn't.'\" Bluestein's insights into and examples of countless Yiddish expressions that have made their way into American English are fascinating and delightful. They vividly remind us of the multiculturalism of the American language and of the nation itself. \u003cp\u003eThe lexicon can be read selectively, like a dictionary, or straight through, as an informative and entertaining romp through a sumptuous linguistic tradition. Everywhere are the words of some of America's most distinctive voices--Saul Bellow, Cynthia Ozick, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Grace Paley, Philip Roth, Joseph Heller, and countless others. This greatly expanded and updated second edition of Anglish\/Yinglish is a splendid guide to the ways Yiddish has permeated and transformed the American language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gene Bluestein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803261470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803261471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.55w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2000 pg. 432","brand":"Gene Bluestein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128547471615,"sku":"9780803261471","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb5f21b3-bf0f-44f9-8024-5f459be67780.jpg?v=1687459213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anglishyinglish-gene-bluestein-9780803261471","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
