The Language Contact of the Yiddish Language
The Language Contact of the Yiddish Language
Historically dubbed the international language of the Jewish diaspora, Yiddish is an influential, rich language of theatre, literature, and, most of all, history. Through extensive literature review, this essay summarises the language contact that resulted in such a language through changes in grammar, syntax, phonology, and multiple influxes of loanwords. In doing so, it hopes to paint a different picture to contemporary opinion while providing a model for language contact in general.
