Call for papers: Modern Iranian Jewish Languages: Thematic Issue of the Journal of Jewish Languages

[Sarah Benor]

The Iranian language family has included many Jewish languages, such as Judeo-Persian, Juhuri (Judeo-Tat), Bukharian (Judeo-Tajik), Judeo-Shirazi, Judeo-Hamedani, Judeo-Yazdi, and Judeo-Kashani. While there has been much research on medieval Judeo-Persian writing, scholarship on contemporary spoken varieties is underrepresented (see reviews in Borjian 2014, 2015; Gindin 2003; Lazard 1968; Shalem 2018; Tolmas 2010). This thematic issue brings together new research on these languages with a focus on the 20th and 21st centuries. Please send a title and 200-word abstract to Jason Sion Mokhtarian (jmokh...@cornell.edu) by October 21. Full articles, due January 15, will be peer reviewed. See submission information at www.brill.com/jjl.
