YIDDISH: A LINGUISTIC INTRODUCTION

Sinopse

"This broad yet comprehensive introduction provides an authoritative overview of all aspects of Yiddish language and linguistics. As well as looking at key features of its syntax, phonology, and morphology, Neil G. Jacobs discusses its history, its dialectology, and the sociolinguistic issues surrounding it. Presenting linguistic data in a way that is compatible with general theoretical issues, this volume will be welcomed by scholars of general linguistics, German linguistics, and Jewish studies alike."--Jacket.
