AJS call for papers - Jewish Languages and Linguistics division

[Omri Asscher]

Dear all,

I am the new AJS division chair for Jewish Languages and Linguistics - thank you, Renee Perelmutter, for leading the division in the last three years! 

I’m happy to share the call for papers for the 55^th annual AJS conference in December, to be held in San Francisco, December 17-19, 3023.

This year, the suggested themes for the division are:

 

-       Modern Jewish languages: documentation, endangerment, and revitalization

-       Jewish languages in historical perspectives

-       Jewish languages in educational settings

-       Jewish languages and gender

-       Translation and language ideologies in Jewish contexts

Of course, proposals on other topics related to Jewish languages and linguistics are also very welcome, and if you have ideas for pre-formed panels, all the better :) Please feel free to reach out to me at omri.a...@biu.ac.il with any questions or ideas!

Looking forward to the conference,

Warm regards,

Omri Asscher
