Jewish Languages in Historical Perspective is devoted to the
diverse array of spoken and written language varieties that have
been employed by Jews in the Diaspora from antiquity until the
twenty-first century. It focuses on the following five key themes:
Jewish languages in dialogue with sacred Jewish texts, Jewish
languages in contact with the co-territorial non-Jewish languages,
Jewish vernacular traditions, the status of Jewish languages in the
twenty-first century, and theoretical issues relating to Jewish
language research. This volume includes case studies on a wide
range of Jewish languages both historical and modern and devotes
attention to lesser known varieties such as Jewish Berber,
Judeo-Italian, and Karaim in addition to the more familiar Aramaic,
Judeo-Arabic, Yiddish, and Ladino. "On top of Brill's Journal of
Jewish Languages and a number of recent publications providing
systematic overviews of Jewish languages as well as related
theoretical discussions, this volume is a valuable addition to the
increasing interest in Jewish languages and linguistics." -Wout van
Bekkum, Groningen, Bibliotheca Orientalis LXXVI 3-4 (2019)
