{"product_id":"jewish-languages-lutz-edzard-9783447117081","title":"Jewish Languages: Text Specimens, Grammatical, Lexical, and Cultural Sketches","description":"This volume on Jewish language varieties not only accords weight to linguistic and cultural analysis but also to extensive text specimens with both interlinear and idiomatic translation. A comprehensive comparative essay by Aharon Maman introduces the volume. The following book sections are ordered according to the linguistic affiliation of the treated language varieties, in the following order: Semitic (Neo-Aramaic and Arabic), Germanic (Yiddish and English), Romance (Judezmo\/Ladino, Haketia, Italian, French, and Provencal), Greek, Iranian (early Persian and Juhuri\/Judeo-Tat(i)), as well as Turkic (Crimean-Turkic, Krymchak, Karaim, and other varieties). The main criterion for the inclusion of a language (variety) in this volume was the existence of a sizable amount of religious, literary, scholarly, and other text genres in Hebrew characters produced by Jewish authors. All contributions follow a common structural outline - a cultural introduction followed by a grammatical (and lexical) sketch and then text specimens with glosses. Several indices complete the volume. Beyond its obvious function as a scholarly reference tool, the volume has the potential to emerge as a pedagogical textbook for courses covering one or several Jewish language varieties, as well as courses in general linguistics and in languages in contact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lutz Edzard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3447117087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783447117081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harrassowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 16.79lbs","brand":"Lutz Edzard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48066384462079,"sku":"9783447117081","price":204.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1b34217-a158-43ce-929f-7b3ad282d71c.jpg?v=1768678190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jewish-languages-lutz-edzard-9783447117081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
