This volume contains 105 transcripts dealing with language and
supplements Phonai volume 42 (= Part I) which contains 165 excerpts
from interviews with German-speaking Jewish emigrants to
Palestine/Israel largely on biographical subjects. The CD enclosed
contains 41 of these excerpts and conveys an acoustic impression of
the high proficiency and fluency of the speakers, all between the
age of 60 and 100. The subsequent linguistic analysis divides into
10 subsections examining the sociolinguistic backgrounds of the
cultivated 'educated' German displayed by the speakers and its
grammatical and stylistic characteristics. Together the two volumes
document and describe a variety of German distinguished first of
all by its striking orientation to written and literary standards
and models, and secondly by occasional lexical enrichments from the
Hebrew-speaking world surrounding the speakers. This historically
unique variety of German is doomed to disappear with the last
generation of emigrants.
