Zapraszamy na wykład otwarty dr. Paula Glassera pt "Where does Western Yiddish end and Eastern Yiddish begin?"

czwartek 7 listopada 2024, 18:00, Aula Katedry Judaistyki, s. 115.

We are accustomed to thinking of Western and Eastern Yiddish as two separate dialects; nay, some scholars now postulate completely separate origins, essentially that they are different languages. However, the findings of the Language and Culture Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry show much overlap. Can a border be drawn, and do we need one?

Paul Glasser has a doctorate in linguistics from Columbia University. He has published on Yiddish history,  morphology, and dialects.
