Subject: ˝Laytish Mame-Loshn Once Again In Print!



In Laytish Mame-Loshn, Mordkhe Schaechter, one of the greatest Yiddish linguists of the twentieth century, reveals to the reader the complex richness of the Yiddish language. This book is a collection of Dr. Schaechter's notes, comments and research dealing with issues of word choice, terminology, toponymy and principles of language standardization. The text is comprised both of articles previously published in various journals on several continents as well as many written specifically for this volume. 

Published by the League for Yiddish in 1986, Laytish Mame-Loshn has been out of print for quite some time. We are pleased to announce that we are reprinting this work. A treasure-trove of information and scholarship, this book will be a valuable resource to a new generation of Yiddish speakers and readers.
