Book Synopsis Jewish Languages from A to Z by : Aaron D. Rubin
Download or read book Jewish Languages from A to Z written by Aaron D. Rubin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish Languages from A to Z provides an engaging and enjoyable overview of the rich variety of languages spoken and written by Jews over the past three thousand years. The book covers more than 50 different languages and language varieties. These include not only well-known Jewish languages like Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino, but also more exotic languages like Chinese, Esperanto, Malayalam, and Zulu, all of which have a fascinating Jewish story to be told. Each chapter presents the special features of the language variety in question, a discussion of the history of the associated Jewish community, and some examples of literature and other texts produced in it. The book thus takes readers on a stimulating voyage around the Jewish world, from ancient Babylonia to 21st-century New York, via such diverse locations as Tajikistan, South Africa, and the Caribbean. The chapters are accompanied by numerous full-colour photographs of the literary treasures produced by Jewish language-speaking communities, from ancient stone inscriptions to medieval illuminated manuscripts to contemporary novels and newspapers. This comprehensive survey of Jewish languages is designed to be accessible to all readers with an interest in languages or history, regardless of their background—no prior knowledge of linguistics or Jewish history is assumed.

Download or read book Borrowed Words written by Philip Durkin and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich variety of the English vocabulary reflects the vast number of words it has taken from other languages. These range from Latin, Greek, Scandinavian, Celtic, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian to, among others, Hebrew, Maori, Malay, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, andYiddish. Philip Durkin's full and accessible history reveals how, when, and why. He shows how to discover the origins of loanwords, when and why they were adopted, and what happens to them once they have been. The long documented history of English includes contact with languages in a variety of contexts, including: the dissemination of Christian culture in Latin in Anglo-Saxon England, and the interactions of French, Latin, Scandinavian, Celtic, and English during the Middle Ages; exposure to languages throughout the world during the colonial era; and the effects of using English as an international language of science. Philip Durkin describes these and other historical inputs, introducing the approaches each requires, from the comparative method for the earliest period to documentary and corpus research in the modern. The discussion is illustrated at every point with examples taken from a variety of different sources. The framework Dr Durkin develops can be used to explore lexical borrowing in any language. This outstanding book is for everyone interested in English etymology and in loanwords more generally. It will appeal to a wide general public and at the same time offers a valuable reference for scholars and students of the history of English.
Book Synopsis Religious Perspectives in Modern Muslim and Jewish Literatures by : Glenda Abramson
Download or read book Religious Perspectives in Modern Muslim and Jewish Literatures written by Glenda Abramson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together fascinating discussions of the way in which Muslim and Jewish beliefs and practices are represented in modern literary texts of poetry, fiction and drama. The chapters collected here consider elements of the expression of Judaism and Islam in modern literature. Key topics such as religious ideas and teachings, aspects of mysticism, the tenets of religion, uses made of sacred texts, religion and popular culture and reflections of religious controversies are covered. While there is an embodied comparative element to the chapters, the essays are not confined by comparisons and cover a wide range of the literary expression of religious issues. With contributions from a group of international scholars, all of whom are experts in the field and each of whom has brought a particular perspective to the topic, this book is a significant contribution to, and will stimulate further research on, the various literatures treated, reflection on comparative work on these two cultural traditions, and new interest in literary expressions of religion and religiousness in general.

Book Synopsis The Jews of Africa and Asia: Contemporary Anti-Semitism and other pressures by : Tudor Parfitt
Download or read book The Jews of Africa and Asia: Contemporary Anti-Semitism and other pressures written by Tudor Parfitt and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 1987-11-01 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The archetypal oppressed minority' For centuries, Jews have lived in Africa and Asia, including the Middle East. Over recent decades, however, their numbers have declined dramatically and in countries like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Egypt and Morocco have been reduced sometimes to only a few hundred people. Within a few generations, these and other communities are likely to disappear altogether, either because of the attraction that Israel provides or because of overt anti-Semitic animosity. For many, there is a precarious balance between survival and persecution. Persecution of Jews by a variety of host societies permeates history and continents. In Europe, anti-Jewish prejudice existed in Greek and Roman times and later the Christian church waged ideological warfare for centuries against the synagogue. Wide-scale and violent destruction of Jewish lives and property erupted periodically, especially in troubled times when people looked for scapegoats. Waves of European Christian anti-Semitism spread to many countries, chiefly to areas of the Islamic world where traditional social and religious attitudes towards Jews provided fertile soil for discrimination. Under Islam, the State was required to protect Jews, but they were nearly always reduced to second class citizens. Alarmingly, anti-Semitic hostility has recently spread to countries where Jews have never lived and are virtually unknown, such as in Japan. By contrast, there are a few countries in which small and less historic Jewish communities continue without discrimination. The Jews of Africa and Asia, the new Minority Rights Group Report, provides an historical analysis of European and Islamic experiences of anti-Jewish prejudice and persecution and the rise of contemporary anti-Zionism. The Report gives a graphic detailed picture of the current situations of Jewish communities remaining in Africa and Asia in a country by country survey. It is essential reading for all those concerned with racism and history.

Book Synopsis Emerging Bilingual Speech by : Anna Verschik
Download or read book Emerging Bilingual Speech written by Anna Verschik and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna Verschik offers a new perspective on how a previously monolingual community of Russian-speakers in Estonia is rapidly becoming bilingual after the end of the Soviet occupation in 1991. The contact-induced change in Russian under the growing impact of Estonian is analysed in the theoretical framework of code-copying. Changes in linguistic behaviour of the speakers are often a result of intentional cultivation of non-monolingual communication strategies and language policies, and go hand in hand with the development of a new identity, 'Estonian Russians'. Emerging Bilingual Speech is a fascinating study that will be of interest to researchers studying language contact, language change and bilingualism.

Book Synopsis Comparative Matters by : Ran Hirschl
Download or read book Comparative Matters written by Ran Hirschl and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative study has emerged as the new frontier of constitutional law scholarship as well as an important aspect of constitutional adjudication. Increasingly, jurists, scholars, and constitution drafters worldwide are accepting that 'we are all comparativists now'. And yet, despite this tremendous renaissance, the 'comparative' aspect of the enterprise, as a method and a project, remains under-theorized and blurry. Fundamental questions concerning the very meaning and purpose of comparative constitutional inquiry, and how it is to be undertaken, are seldom asked, let alone answered. In this path-breaking book, Ran Hirschl addresses this gap by charting the intellectual history and analytical underpinnings of comparative constitutional inquiry, probing the various types, aims, and methodologies of engagement with the constitutive laws of others through the ages, and exploring how and why comparative constitutional inquiry has been and ought to be pursued by academics and jurists worldwide. Through an extensive exploration of comparative constitutional endeavours past and present, near and far, Hirschl shows how attitudes towards engagement with the constitutive laws of others reflect tensions between particularism and universalism as well as competing visions of who 'we' are as a political community. Drawing on insights from social theory, religion, history, political science, and public law, Hirschl argues for an interdisciplinary approach to comparative constitutionalism that is methodologically and substantively preferable to merely doctrinal accounts. The future of comparative constitutional studies, he contends, lies in relaxing the sharp divide between constitutional law and the social sciences. Comparative Matters makes a unique and welcome contribution to the comparative study of constitutions and constitutionalism, sharpening our understanding of the historical development, political parameters, epistemology, and methodologies of one of the most intellectually vibrant areas in contemporary legal scholarship.
