{"product_id":"yiddish-as-a-mixed-language-ewa-geller-9789004423978","title":"Yiddish as a Mixed Language: Yiddish-Slavic Language Contact and Its Linguistic Outcome","description":"Yiddish, the language of Eastern-European Jews, has so far been mostly described as Germanic within the framework of the traditional, divergence-based Language Tree Model. Meanwhile, advances in contact linguistics allow for a new approach, placing the idiom within the mixed language spectrum, with the Slavic component playing a significant role. So far, the Slavic elements were studied as isolated, adstratal borrowings. This book argues that they represent a coherent system within the grammar. This suggests that the Slavic languages had at least as much of a constitutive role in the inception and development of Yiddish as German and Hebrew. The volume is copiously illustrated with examples from the vernacular language.\u003cbr\u003e With a contribution of Anna Pilarski, University of Szczecin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ewa Geller, Michal Gajek, Agata Reibach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004423974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004423978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ewa Geller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069307810047,"sku":"9789004423978","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84dededa-1180-438f-b2ef-4090b670ede9.jpg?v=1685423990","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yiddish-as-a-mixed-language-ewa-geller-9789004423978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
