The Journal of Jewish Languages is preparing a special issue to commemorate
the fiftieth yortsayt* of Uriel Weinreich (1926-1967), a pioneering scholar in
the fields of language contact, variation and dialectology, formal semantics,
and Yiddish studies. One of Weinreich's last papers, published in 1968 and
co-authored with his doctoral students William Labov and Marvin I. Herzog,
laid the groundwork for the empirical study of linguistic variation. In
addition to his seminal works in linguistics, including the widely-cited
volume Languages in Contact (1953), Weinreich was also a prolific scholar who
did much to enable and promote the academic study of Yiddish in the United
States.

This special issue of the JJL will feature original research articles on
Jewish languages that draw upon the theories and methodologies of the fields
most influenced by Uriel Weinreich's work, including but not limited to:

- Language variation and change,
- Language contact and multilingualism,
- And Yiddish studies (especially dialectology, standardization, and
pedagogy).

The deadline for submission of articles is September 30, 2016. Articles should
be no longer than 12,000 words (but may be much shorter), including notes and
bibliography. In order to determine whether their submission is compatible
with the topic of the special issue, potential authors are asked to submit a
suggested title and 100-word abstract to the guest editors by February 15,
2016 by email to ibleaman at nyu.edu. Submitted articles will undergo
double-blind peer review, according to the procedures specified by the
journal.

The Journal of Jewish Languages is an academic journal published twice a year
by Brill. Its editors are Sarah Bunin Benor and Ofra Tirosh-Becker. For more
