Abstract:

At the intersection of Jewish studies and linguistic research, the
essays assembled in this book approach the topic of the languages of
Sephardic Jews from different perspectives, spanning chronologically
from the Middle Ages to the present day. Drawing on diverse sources –
from medical glossaries to inquisition archives, from rabbinic
responsa to recordings of today's speakers – the scholars
collaborating on this project have endeavoured to reconstruct
fragments of a complex and elusive linguistic reality, which over the
centuries has been shaped by the historical experience of its
speakers. An innovative collection of rigorously conducted synchronic
and diachronic studies that contributes to expanding our knowledge and
opening new perspectives on crucial issues, such as the effects of
contact on the linguistic structures, the possibility of a norm for
polycentric languages, the relationship between the lexicon of a
language and the vitality of its speech community.
