	Max Weinreich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max Weinreich (1893/94 Goldingen (Kuldiga), Courland (Latvia) - 1969 New York) was a Yiddish linguist.
		He founded the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (originally called Yiddish Scientific Institute (YIVO)) in Vilnius (Vilna) in 1925, and was its director from 1925 to 1939.
		He is often cited as the author of the criterion for distinguishing between "languages" and "dialects" - "A language is a dialect with an army and a navy" (Max Weinreich, der yivo un di problemen fun undzer tsayt, in: yivo bletter, January-July 1945, p.

		Weinreich's story of being called to the Episcopal priesthood and awakening to the presence of God in his life-in that order-completely lacks the narrow-minded zeal of a convert.

	Modern English-Yiddish Dictionary
		Uriel Weinreich was one of the top scholars of the Yiddish language, and to a lesser degree, of Yiddishkeit.
		He was nonetheless overshadowed by his father, the great Max Weinreich, who wrote a four volume history of the language (in Yiddish, with a one-volume English abridgement) and who started the massive Yiddish-Yiddish dictionary (under the aegis of Columbia University, I think) which is still "under construction".
		Weinreich gives good grammatical information in his entries, such as verb aspect and case of verb object, along with unpredictable forms such as the past participle.

		However, if we regard Modern Hebrew as a Jewish language -- not all do -- a half-century after Max Weinreich wrote these words, history has rendered them inapplicable: "[among Jewish languages, Yiddish] has the largest number of speakers, and the richest supply of available literary sources." Fifty years ago these words were true.
		Although a good deal was written on the Jewish communities in Avignon and Comtat-Venaissin, their language was never submitted to a systematic study.
		Then, by comparing different Jewish languages we come close to understanding the essence of Jewish linguistic creativity, which is so pronounced an element in Jewish culture history, and thereby we gain a clearer perspective of the Jewish genius in general.

	Uriel Weinreich's Dictionary and Its Alternatives
		Weinreich replied that as soon as the dictionary was finished, he (Weinreich) would write up a list of all the contrived neologisms, for this very reason.
		Even though Max Weinreich was a linguist of world renown, still -- his knowledge of Yiddish was not quite up to par.
		Weinreich wanted to censor "improper" words, a word like "shvantz," which has both kosher and vulgar meanings, should have been included with at least the kosher meaning of "tail".

	FORWARD : Looking Back (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		• Writing from Warsaw, correspondent Max Weinreich reports that a storm was created by Polish Zionist leader Yitzhak Grinboim, who said that Poland's Jewish population needs to be reduced by 30%.
		One of YIVO's founders, Weinreich comments that the statement is reminiscent of the tsarist minister Pobedenostsev, who argued that the solution to the Jewish problem in Russia was for one-third to emigrate, one-third to convert and one-third to die of hunger.
		Grinboim's own Zionist press scolded him by reminding him that "silence is golden." But, Weinreich writes, Jews are a patient and forgetful people, and when Grinboym returns to Warsaw they will have forgotten what he said and he will be greeted with great fanfare and a large banquet.

	Origins of Yiddish and the Migation of Jews
		This accumulating evidence is being eagerly seized by linguists intent on tracing the roots of Yiddish.
		Work on the project began in the early 1960s after Dr. Uriel Weinreich of Columbia University and his wife, the folklorist Beatrice Silverman Weinreich, began an effort to interview some 600 Yiddish-speaking immigrants in Israel, the Alssace region of France, the United States, Canada and Mexico.
		The main champion of this view was Dr. Max Weinreich, the father of Uriel Weinreich and the driving force behind the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, which began in Vilna, Lithuania, and is now in Manhattan.

	Yiddish language
		At the turn of the century 99.3% of Jews in Lithuania considered Yiddish to be their mother tongue.
		Yiddish had enormous impact on culture of Lithuanian Jews, especially during the inter-war period when a wealth of Yiddish social, cultural, scientific and educational organizations, as well as publications in this language turned Lithuania and Vilnius into a spiritual center of world Jewry.
		The Jewish Scientific Institute (YIVO), founded in Vilnius in 1925, was engaged in research in the fields of history, sociology, literature and folklore science in Yiddish, and it also became the founder of modern Yiddish linguistics.

	What's Wrong With Neologisms Like "Kompyuteray?"
		What I deem the new Yiddish Establishment was started by Max Weinreich, and later continued by his son Uriel Weinreich.
		Weinreich Dictionary itself -- have been inundated with countless neologisms that are bizarre, inauthentic, and spurious -- and that flagrantly violate long-established patterns of Yiddish word formation.
		Under the influence of the Weinreichs, the YIVO refused to publish Volume 1 of Yudel Mark's Great Dictionary of the Yiddish Language, because Yudel Mark would not consent to implementing in his Dictionary their bizarre Yiddish spelling rules.

	A Major Text for "Yiddish-Lit" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The author, a doctoral candidate at Brandeis at the time, who was preparing a dissertation on the oeuvre of the pious, metaphysical protester poet Aaron Zeitlin, traced his concentration in Yiddish literature to an earlier chance event — a guest lecture at New York City College Hillel by Professor Max Weinreich.
		A short while later they met casually in the subway and walked together to the college where one was an undergraduate and simultaneously a pre-rabbinic student at the Jewish Theological Seminary and the elder, Dr. Weinreich, and august member of the faculty in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages.
		Weinreich's near-magical inspiration propelled the young man into introductory courses in Yiddish literature — and the rest is history.

	Uncle Jazzbeau’s Gallimaufrey: army-navy zhargon
		I’ve been meaning to scan the following image for a while now, but just haven’t got around to it, but finally Languagehat’s entry on a New York Times article on the SIL Ethnologue which mentioned Max Weinreich’s famous linguistic maxim (a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot) pushed me over the edge.
		The army-navy statement has also been cited as having originated with one of Weinreich's students, identified as Joshua Fishman in at least one such reference.
		In a more recent posing to the Mendele list, it is pointed out that the person described by Weinreich as his source for the army-navy statement is unlikely to have been Fishman.

		In 1939 he sent the manuscript of his unpublished article "Di psikhologye fun shpil un estetishn genus" to YIVO in Vilna, and was then invited by Max Weinreich to participate in the YIVO aspirant (YIVO research fellow).
		Of interest are the materials relating to the 1948 UCLA Summer Session in which Max Weinreich taught two courses, and out of which the I.L. Cahan Folklore Club was born.
		The bulk of the materials are addressed to Moses Kligsberg, but there are also a number of letters addressed to YIVO staff members (generally Max Weinreich or Mark Uveeler), which are included here where there is already significant correspondence from that person to Moses Kligsberg.

		Concern over the issue of New High German influence on Yiddish is not new, as pointed out by others in this current discussion (citing, e.g., Max Weinreich's article from the 1930s).
		In some of the recent Mendele debate, there is argument over what is "really Yiddish", what is "really" daytshmerish, etc. It is important, I believe, to keep in mind that there are several issues at work here: linguistic registers of individuals and speech communities, geographically-patterned variation, and time frame, etc.
		Furthermore, the issue of written vs. spoken language can also be important; Max Weinreich (1928, "Di yidishe shprakhforshung in 17-tn yorhundert", in Tsaytshrift) notes a difference in the amount of German influence in written documents versus what must have been the spoken Yiddish of the time.
