Conceptions of Language and Rhetoric in Ancient and Medieval Judaism
This study explores conceptions of language and rhetoric in ancient and medieval Jewish life and writings which relate to Hebrew, other languages, and language per se, reflecting both ‘religious’ notions and ethnic and national praxis and identity. The main focus in those times was on the language of scripture, but Jews also pondered the purpose of language as a natural, even trivial phenomenon, as a Jewish vernacular, and as an aesthetic or tran…

Singer's typewriter and mine: Reflections on Jewish culture
The attitudes, ideologies and sundry practices surrounding language have always interested readers of this journal, but normally as paraphernalia of functioning languages. Cults to dead or dying la

Apologizing to China: Elastic apologies and the meta-discourse of American diplomats
The linguistic study of apologies has focused on identifying pragmatic norms, but with porous and inconsistent results. Functionalist models have had more success, but have not fully recognized the centrality of negotiation and discursive struggle highlighted by Thomas (Journal of Pragmatics 9: 765–783, 1985), Watts (Politeness in language, Mouton De Gruyter, 2005) and others. One major source for extended apologies is the collective apology but …

Guarding the Tongue: A Thematic Analysis of Gossip Control Strategies among Orthodox Jewish Women in London
This paper describes the views and experiences of Strictly-Orthodox Jewish women with respect to the metapragmatic ethos of Shmiras HaLoshon (monitoring one's talk, literally 'guarding the tongue'). Eight extended interviews were conducted with Strictly-Orthodox women and teenagers in London, and salient themes were identified, namely: (1) Loshon Hora ('evil talk') is the prime exemplar of bad talk. (2) Loshon Hora is the hardest (one of the hard…

Inside the language planner's head: Tactical responses to a mass immigration
To add a sudden 10% to its population in the form of 0.5 million Soviet migrants, professionalised and wedded to Russian culture, would test any monolingual society. Faced with this, Israel's traditional Hebrew‐enforcement policy in the Ingathering of the Diaspora is apparently in retreat. Israel is now officially committing large resources to fostering an immigrant language as a channel of information, education and culture. This study documents…

Holy land, holy language: A study of an Ultraorthodox Jewish ideology
This study explores the correlation between notions of language and territory in the ideology of a present-day Ultraorthodox Jewish group, the Hasidim of Satmar, in the context of Jewish Ultraorthodoxy (Haredism) in general. This involves the present-day role of Yiddish vis-à-vis Hebrew, particularly in Israel. We first address the relative sanctity of a space that accommodates a closed Haredi lifestyle and of a language in which it is expressed,…

Did pre-Revival Hebrew literature have its own langue? Quotation and improvization in Mendele Mokher Sefarim
In the history of Hebrew letters, few dates have so cavalierly been invested with literary and linguistic significance as 1886/7, the publication date of Mendele's short story BeSeter Ra'am.Such scholars of literature as Ravnitzki, Klausner and Werses have hailed its style as the pointer or veritable trigger to a redeployment of the traditional 'synthetic' (composite Biblical/post-Biblical) Hebrew style-instead of being confined to the registers …

Negative and non-assertive in Contemporary Hebrew
This is a syntactic-semantic study of negative and non-assertive environments in Contemporary (Israeli) Hebrew (henceforth CH), with particular reference to the determiners and pro-forms specific to them. These are illustrated by the non-italicized forms in 1-3 below:By 'non-assertive environments', I mean incomplete negation (as with Enghlish 'hardly, few'), implied negation (as with 'reluctant, hard'), questions and conditionals. In English, th…
