![]() ![]() Prior to this, I was with the Special Collections of the JTS Library in New York. As for myself, I am currently Librarian of the Center for Judaic Studies at UPenn. Members may also contact me for pertinent UPenn and JTS holdings of Judeo-X language materials. I would like to bring to the members' attention that our website (CJS Library, UPenn) has a page dedicated to "Jewish Languages and Cultures": I invite all members to submit URLs and any other information that may be relative to the site, and hope it provides us with a fair starting point. I have passed news of the list to a number of people, and hope that our membership increases. Thank you Sarah for the information listed below. Is there anyone on this list who has good computer knowledge and would be willing to take charge of the archiving? I look forward to fruitful discussion on this list! -Sarah #Thessa exile 2.0 zip archive#Just one request: I'd like to archive the messages that go out to this list and make them available on the web (probably on the Jewish Languages site that will be based at Emory). I plan to be involved in a number of efforts to create infrastructure, including a website that's currently in the works and a journal and conferences in the (distant?) future. I am looking forward to seeing the field of Jewish linguistics grow. ![]() ![]() My work is done mainly in the frameworks of sociolinguistics and language contact. I am very interested in comparative Jewish linguistics, especially in the Hebrew/Aramaic component of modern Jewish languages. I have also done some work on Yiddish and Ottoman Judeo-Spanish. My research focuses on the English speech of Jews in America, especially Orthodox Jews. I'm Sarah Bunin Benor, a 3rd-year PhD student at Stanford University in the Department of Linguistics. Therefore, I think it would be a good time for us to start introducing ourselves. I'd like to point out that we now have 14 subscribers, including scholars of the following languages: Judeo-Italian Eastern and Western Yiddish Judeo-Arabic Hebrew Jewish Neo-Aramaic Jewish English Judeo-Spanish There may be other languages represented, but I do not know everyone who has subscribed. ![]()
