Yinglish

[Laurence Horn]

Does anyone use or know of a nice little chapter or article on
Yiddish-influenced English that includes discussion of the syntactic
traits (so-called "Y-movement", as in "A VACuum cleaner he gives me",
imported complementizers, as in "I want you should do this now",
resumptive pronouns, etc.) as well as lexical items (including
calques like "go know") and morphological (X-shmX) processes?  There
are some wonderful treatments of AAVE and Appalachian English
suitable for intro courses, and I'd be interested in locating a YE
parallel.
