Directory         1.    Ghil'ad Zuckermann, International Journal of the Sociology of Language Message 1: International Journal of the Sociology of Language Date: 16-May-2010 From: Ghil'ad Zuckermann <gzuq.edu.au> Subject: International Journal of the Sociology of Language E-mail this message to a friend Full Title: International Journal of the Sociology of Language Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Dzhidi; Esperanto; General Linguistics; Genetic Classification; Hebrew; Historical Linguistics; History of Linguistics; Hulaulá; Imperial Aramaic; Judeo-Italian; Knaanic; Ladino; Language Documentation; Shuadit; Sociolinguistics; Yevanic; Yiddish, Eastern; Zarphatic Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2010 CALL FOR PAPERS JEWISH LANGUAGE CONTACT, International Journal of the Sociology of Language (IJSL) For a special invited refereed IJSL issue (for which IJSL General Editor Joshua A. Fishman will submit an article too), you are hereby invited to propose original, groundbreaking, scholarly and accessible papers on any aspect of contact involving Jewish languages. For example, you can explore the impact of non-Jewish languages on Jewish languages (e.g. Slavonic tongues on Yiddish; Arabic on Israeli / Modern Hebrew), Jewish influence on non-Jewish languages (e.g. Yiddish on English; Israeli / Modern Hebrew on Palestinian Arabic), the dynamics between Jewish languages (e.g. Ladino/Judezmo/Judeo-Spanish versus Israeli / Modern Hebrew), as well as between more than two languages at least one of which you consider Jewish (e.g. the combined phonological or lexical impact of Yiddish and Arabic on Israeli / Modern Hebrew). Furthermore, you can examine how Jewish language contact in particular has contributed - or may contribute - to the field of contact linguistics in general. Articles seeking to forge a new path related to the question of what a 'Jewish language' actually is, or challenge specific glottonyms, are most welcome too. After all, 2,500 years ago, Confucius was already suggesting that 'the first thing one has to do is to rectify names'. This refereed issue is not restricted to any particular linguistic framework or discipline and is inter alia aimed at functioning as an epistemological bridge between parallel discourses pertaining to the study of Jewish linguistics. Explorable languages include Yiddish, Ladino/Judezmo/Judeo-Spanish; Biblical, Mishnaic, Medieval and Maskilic Hebrews, Israeli / Modern Hebrew, Jewish Aramaic, Jewish English, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-Italian, Judeo-French, Judeo-Persian, Juhuru, Judeo-Portuguese, Judeo-Greek, Jewish Malayalam, Jewish Russian, Judeo-Provençal and Esperanto.
