Sarah Bunin Benor and Ofra Tirosh-Becker are pleased to announce the launch of
a new journal, published by Brill: the Journal of Jewish Languages. The online
system is now accepting submissions, and the first issue will be published in
2013. See  details on the website:
http://www.brill.com/publications/journals/journal-jewish-languages.

The peer-reviewed Journal of Jewish Languages (JJL) constitutes a venue for
academic research in the multifaceted field of Jewish Languages. Jewish
languages are the languages spoken and written by Jews in their communities
around the world. Among these are Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, Judeo-Arabic, Jewish
Aramaic, Judeo-Italian, Judeo-French, Judeo-Provençal, Judeo-Persian, Jewish
English, Jewish Malayalam and more. Although these belong to a variety of
genealogical language families, Jewish languages have common linguistic
features, thus constituting a distinct field of research.

The Journal of Jewish Languages encourages comparative studies across the
different Jewish languages as well as in-depth linguistic and philological
research of the individual languages and their varieties. The JJL promotes
studies that focus on diverse aspects, such as the interactions of these
languages with other languages (especially Hebrew, Aramaic, and the
surrounding non-Jewish languages), sociolinguistics, translation traditions,
and more. Articles in this journal focus on medieval, modern, and contemporary
Jewish languages and are based on manuscripts, printed material, orally
transmitted translations, field work recordings, online speech samples, and
other sources. Research on Hebrew will be considered for publication in JJL
only if it relates to other languages Jews have spoken or written. The JJL
encourages diverse methodological and theoretical approaches from
dialectology, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics,
formal linguistics, philology, and other fields.
