Abstract

The Journal of Jewish Languages was established as a venue for academic research in the multifaceted field of Jewish language studies. As the editors of this journal, we are pleased that jjl is quickly becoming a preferred forum for publishing original research in this field. From the outset our vision was to offer thematic issues (or volumes) from time to time, as they have the potential to advance the field in more targeted ways. We are happy to present the first such thematic volume of the Journal of Jewish Languages focusing on Language Contact and the Development of Modern Hebrew . This special thematic volume, conceived and guest edited by Edit Doron, offers an in-depth look at the important area of language contact when interwoven with Jewish language studies. Throughout Jewish history, there are many examples of language contact. Whether Jews spoke a variant of the local language or a completely different language, they generally maintained some degree of contact with the local non-Jewish language, resulting in linguistic transfer at multiple levels. And at various points in history, Jews who spoke one language came into contact with Jews who spoke other languages; examples include Judeo-Greek, Judeo-Latin, and Judeo-Aramaic
