Meeting Description: 

International conference Yiddish Language Structures

The conference follows the example of the workshop Yiddish Language Structures
which was held held at the University of Regensburg in 2009. Likewise, we
intend to publish a collection of peer reviewed articles based on a selection
of conference papers. The workshop is also meant to be a forum for discussing
the new project towards a Syntax of Eastern Yiddish Dialects (SEYD) that aims
to examine the grammatical structures that can be found in the field notes of
the Language and Culture Archive of Ashkenazic Jewry.
