This volume examines relationships between native languages and
Yiddish. It highlights the historical and sociolinguistic
development of Turkic, Iranian, South Asian, Slavic, Greek, Balkan,
Judezmo, Armenian, Georgian, and Basque languages. One of the main
focuses is on the adopted post-medieval and pre-modern
Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi homelands of Eastern Europe. The book
emphasizes the role of ludic or playful modifications of a
language's structures at the colloquial level as sources of
linguistic change. And, it goes further to say that expressive
language, linguistic iconicity, and etymological analysis can all
complement and enrich each other.
