Description:Ben-Yehuda's vision of a modern Hebrew eventually came to animate a large part of the Jewish world, and gave new confidence and pride to Jewish youth during the most difficult period of modern history, and infusing Zionism with a dynamic cultural content. This book examines the many changes that occurred in the transition to Modern Hebrew, acquainting new students of the language with its role as a model for other national revivals, and explaining how it overcame many obstacles to become a spoken vernacular, its role as a model for other national revivals, the “mechanics” of the language.It deals primarily with the social and political aspects of language and does not cover literature. Also discussed are the dilemmas facing the language arising from the fact that Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora "don’t speak the same language," while Israeli Arabs and Jews often do. Why has Hebrew declined in the Diaspora? What are the long term consequences of Jews in Israel and the Diaspora Not Speaking the Same Language ? How did Hebrew become a modern language? How did it win out over Yiddish? How different are Modern and Biblical Hebrew? What has acquisition of Hebrew meant for the Arab minority in Israel? Why has study of Modern Hebrew declined in the United States? How did Modern Hebrew inspire other national language revivals? (Welsh, Irish, Maltese, Basque Nynorsk, Catalan)ChaptersPreface 1 Hebrew in American Popular Culture and University Instruction2 The Magnificent Heritage of Hebrew3 Modern Hebrew’s Inspirational Example for Minor Language Revivals4 The Three Thousand year Old Treasury5 How Hebrew became a Modern Language6 Do the Israelis Speak Hebrew or Israeli?7 The Worldwide Rivalry with Yiddish8 Negation of the Golah and Hebraic Identity of a New Nation9 Baltic Rebirth and Zionist Staging Ground for a Jewish State10 The Soviet Attempt to Strangle Hebrew11 The First Modern Hebrew Textbooks set in Palestine13 Arab-Israeli Use of Hebrew14 From Jewish State Towards a Hebrew Republic?15 Slang and Profanity in Spoken Hebrew15 The Current Assault on Hebrew at Home16 Outlook for Hebrew Education in the U.S.A. and the U.K. (Charter schools)EpilogueWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
