Abstract:

This book argues that the usage of language in Jewish societies can be
understood as following from certain specific principles, particularly
regarding the relationship between language and identity. Phenomena discussed 
include the revival of Hebrew, Hebrew in the Diaspora, the survival and
'sanctification' of Yiddish, the idea of 'Jewish languages', and the role
of sociolinguistic phenomena in the Holocaust and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
