{"product_id":"yiddish-as-a-mixed-language-9789004423978","title":"Yiddish as a Mixed Language","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\nWith a contribution of Anna Pilarski, University of Szczecin.","brand":"Ewa Geller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307903561979,"sku":"9789004423978","price":151.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004423978.jpg?v=1772491347","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/yiddish-as-a-mixed-language-9789004423978","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
