Download or read book Judeo-Romance Linguistics (RLE Linguistics E: Indo-European Linguistics) written by Paul Wexler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A separate bibliographic treatment of the Judeo-Romance languages should facilitate a deeper appreciation of the contributions that they may make to Romance linguistics in general. Up until now, Judeo-Romance topics have scarcely been canvassed in Romance linguistic bibliographies. It is hoped that this new book serves to popularize the field of Judeo-Romance languages both among students of general Romance and comparative Jewish linguistics.

Download or read book Jewish and Non-Jewish Creators of "Jewish" Languages written by Paul Wexler and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume brings together 34 articles that were published between 1964 and 2003 on Judaized forms of Arabic, Chinese, German, Greek, Persian, Portuguese, Slavic (including Modern Hebrew and Yiddish, two Slavic languages "relexified" to Hebrew and German, respectively), Spanish and Semitic Hebrew (including Ladino - the Ibero-Romance relexification of Biblical Hebrew) and Karaite. The motivations for reissuing these articles are the convenience of having thematically similar topics appear together in the same venue and the need to update the interpretations, many of which have radically changed over the years. As explained in a lengthy new preface and in notes added to the articles themselves, the impetus to create strikingly unique Jewish ethnolects comes not so much from the creativity of the Jews but rather from non- Jewish converts to Judaism, in search (often via relexification) of a unique linguistic analogue to their new ethnoreligious identity. The volume should be of interest to students of relexification, of the Judaization of non-Jewish languages, and of these specific languages.

Download or read book Two-tiered Relexification in Yiddish written by Paul Wexler and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book claims that Yiddish was created when Judaized Sorbs first relexified their language to High German between the 9th-12th centuries; by the 15th century, the descendants of the Judaized Khazars also relexified their Kiev-Polessian (northern Ukrainian and southern Belarusian) speech to Yiddish and German, Yiddish thus uses a mixed West-East Slavic grammar and suggests that converted Khazars were a major component in the Ashkenazic ethnogenesis.

Download or read book Jews in Byzantium written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 1058 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ever increasing volume of Byzantine Studies in recent years there seems to be one very apparent void, namely, the history and culture of the Byzantine Jewry, its presence and impact on the surrounding convoluted Byzantine world between Late Antiquity until the conquest of Byzantium (1453). With the now classic but dated studies by Joshua Starr and Andrew Sharf, the collective volume at hand is an attempt to somewhat fill in this void. The articles assembled in this volume are penned by leading scholars in the field. They present bird's eye views of the cultural history of the Jewish Byzantine minority, alongside a wide array of surveys and in-depth studies of various topics. These topics pertain to the dialectics of the religious, literary, economic and visual representation world of this alien minority within its surrounding Byzantine hegemonic world.

Download or read book Romaniote Siddur written by Panagiotis Gkoumas and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Synagogal liturgy of the Romaniote Jews represents the oldest European Jewish prayer rite. In fact the Greek-speaking Jews descent from a Jewish group which developed their own prayers and customs within the Greek Civilisation long before the diaspora. As we can see from Old Testament translations, from the Genizah fragments and from later manuscripts the Hellenistic and Romaniote Jews started early to use their mother tongue, in this case Greek, as a liturgical language and combined their old prayers which they brought from Palestine with new customs. These circumstances partly describe the extraordinary position of the Romaniote rite within all the other rites. Some Romaniote practices seem to have been integrated into the other rites as well. Parallels in the liturgy between the Jews in the lands east of the Elbe River and the Greek-Jewish ritual, can be seen as such an influence, which is perfectly understandable as Greek-speaking Jews have been the first Jewish settlers in Eastern Europe. Other examples on how Greek-speaking and Byzantine Jews influenced the European Jewry within the Byzantine Commonwealth and the centuries before and after it could be easily added. After all these centuries the great work of the Romaniote scholars and paytanim is unquestionable. Such as Tobiah ben Eliezer from Northern Greece who wrote a commentary to the Torah and the Megillot, the Lekah Tov, and Zerahiah the Greek, the author of the famous ethical work Sefer ha-Yashar. But above all the Romaniotes recognised the writing of piyut (from Greek poietes - poet) as their genre. The present publication ''reprints'' a prayer book according to the rite of the Romaniote Jews, which is taken from a medieval manuscript, the readings of the haftarot according to the Romaniote minhag, a collection of several piyutim and selichot and several other texts which are important to the Romaniote rite. Since this book represents the first print of a Romaniote prayer book since the 17th century, it truly can be said that an easy access to this old liturgy has been created now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical sociolinguistics is a comparatively new area of research, investigating difficult questions about language varieties and choices in speech and writing. Jewish historical sociolinguistics is rich in unanswered questions: when does a language become 'Jewish'? What was the origin of Yiddish? How much Hebrew did the average Jew know over the centuries? How was Hebrew re-established as a vernacular and a dominant language? This book explores these and other questions, and shows the extent of scholarly disagreement over the answers. It shows the value of adding a sociolinguistic perspective to issues commonly ignored in standard histories. A vivid commentary on Jewish survival and Jewish speech communities that will be enjoyed by the general reader, and is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the study of Middle Eastern languages, Jewish studies, and sociolinguistics.
