Professor Moshe Bar-Asher, Professor Emeritus at the Hebrew University and long-time president of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, has published more than 200 articles and sixteen books and edited aboout 90 books and collections. The vast majority of his work has been accessible, however, only to specialists who read modern Hebrew or French. Bar-Asher's groundbreaking articles on the dialects of rabbinic literature are classics. In more recent years he has brought the same breadth and depth of grammatical knowledge, and philological acumen, to the study of older classical Hebrew texts,...

Modern Hebrew is a highly synthetic Semitic language-its lexicon is rich in morphemes. This volume supplies the first in-depth psycholinguistic analysis of the interaction between morphological knowledge and spelling in Hebrew. It also examines how far this model can be applied to other languages. Anchored to a connectionist, cognitive, cross-linguistic and typological framework, the study accords with today's perception of spelling as being much more than a mere technical skill. Contemporary psycholinguistic literature views spelling as a window on what people know about words and their...

At the beginning of the twentieth century, ambitious young writers flocked from
Jewish towns and villages to cultural centers like Warsaw, Odessa, and Vilna
to seek their fortunes. These writers, typically proficient in both Hebrew and
Yiddish, gathered in literary salons and cafes to read, declaim, discuss, and
ponder the present and future of Jewish culture. However, in the years before
and after World War I, writers and readers increasingly immigrated to Western
Europe, the Americas, and Palestine, transforming the multilingualism that had
defined Jewish literary...
