Abstract:
			
The subject of this volume being offered to scholars of the Hebrew
language and its devotees is spoken Hebrew. Its nucleus is a meeting
of scholars that occurred in February 2000 at Emory University in
Atlanta (Georgia, USA). Papers were delivered by team members of The
Corpus of Spoken Israeli Hebrew (CoSIH) and other scholars invited for
this purpose, and questions were discussed pertaining to the
compilation and design of the corpus. At the initiative of Yair
Hoffman, editor of the Teuda series, other scholars engaged in the
research of the Hebrew language were asked to contribute from their
research to this volume.  These articles, to a large extent,
supplement the writings of the CoSIH workshop seminar, because they
show from various and diverse aspects the pressing need for compiling
a corpus of spoken Israeli Hebrew.
