	Weinreich, Uriel - HighBeam Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Weinreich taught linguistics at Columbia (1951-67) and is noted for his contributions to Yiddish studies, sociolinguistics, dialectology, and for the increased acceptance of semantics as a branch of linguistics.
		In 1952 he demonstrated that what had been regarded as the mysterious reappearance of an older form of Yiddish pronunciation in NE Europe was the result of immigrants moving there from regions where the older pronunciation had never disappeared.
		He was concerned with the distinction as well as the relation between the syntactic (involving word order and sentence structure) and the semantic (what words and sentences mean) analysis of language.

		Uriel Weinreich himself, and are discussed in the Yiddish preface, though unfortunately for those who may most need the dictionary, not in the English preface.
		Granted that Weinreich's prudery is rather funny and that a number of his neologisms haven't quite made it on the international loop.
		The Uriel Weinreich Dictionary is to some degree a document of that evolution.

		Uriel Weinreich was one of the top scholars of the Yiddish language, and to a lesser degree, of Yiddishkeit.
		Uriel Weinreich's is one of the two I'm familiar with, the other being Alexander Harkavy's Yiddish-English-Hebrew Dictionary.
		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.

	Directions for Historical Linguistics: A Symposium. Front matter, Prefatory Note, Table of Contents, List of Figures
		Among the most imaginative studies of change in contemporary linguistic communities are those carried on by Marvin Herzog and William Labov, in conjunction with the late Uriel Weinreich.
		It is no diminution of the shares of Professors Herzog and Labov in this study to state that much of the original impetus for their research came from Uriel Weinreich.
		Few would deny that his work, carried on without fanfare in a tragically short lifespan, has provided some of the most noteworthy contributions to linguistics of the past decade and a half: on the varieties of language; on language in its relation to other facets of culture; on exploratory approaches to semantics.

	Directions for Historical Linguistics: A Symposium. Empirical Foundations for a Theory of Language Change
		It was Weinreich who prepared the original draft incorporating appropriate materials submitted to him by the second- and third-named authors.
		Weinreich's personal editing of the final draft comes to an end with Section 2.4.
		Though many of Weinreich's formulations and evaluations appear here, and the overall framework is a product of our joint thinking in the early months of 1967, there are undoubtedly many details which would have taken a different form if he had shared in the final editing.

	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.
		Furthermore, Uriel had unfortunately inherited from his father Max Weinreich a slightly impaired and distorted knowledge of the Yiddish language.
		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".

	ETHNOLINGUISTIC NOTE 29
		What I want to propose here is that what someone (I think it was Uriel Weinreich) called "languages of universal translation" came to exist in response to a change in the way Europeans conceived of the world and their relation to it.
		As I indicated above, I have the idea that it was Uriel Weinreich who used it, but I can't recall the circumstances.
		What I understood it to refer to was a language which aspires to be (or more precisely, of course, whose speakers aspire to have it be) capable of expressing anything whatsoever that is sayable at all.

	Origins of Yiddish and the Migation of Jews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		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.
		In this view, Yiddish was invented by Jews who had arrived in Europe with the Roman army as traders, later settling in the Rhineland of western Germany and northern France.

		Subject: Yiddish Matters -- Towards the 30th anniversary (1998) of Uriel Weinreich's Dictionary Students of Yiddish are accustomed to reach for their "Weinreich" when they encounter a word in a modern Yiddish text which they do not recognize.
		Among the many contemporary reviews of the dictionary, none was as probing and comprehensive as that by Mordkhe Schaechter, our foremost Yiddish language planner and a longtime colleague of Uriel Weinreich.

	What's Wrong With Neologisms Like "Kompyuteray?"

		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.

		When Dr. Weinreich died in 1967, the project was taken over by Dr. Marvin Herzog.
		Noting that Yiddish includes a few words from Old Italian and Old French, Dr. Weinreich argued that it began as a Romance language that was later Germanized.

		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.

		In his manuscript, Kaye had attributed the quote to Max Weinreich; the editor of this journal changed the attribution to Uriel Weinreich [from whom I first heard it in 1957 -- WB].
		Max Weinreich's saying that _A shprakh iz a diyalekt mit an armey un a flot_ ['A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.']
		It is clear, in any case, that the dictum derives from the tradition of Yiddish linguistics, and that it was made familiar by the Weinreichs and by Fishman.

	History of the LCAAJ and the Language and Culture Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry.
		The Archive, which resides in Butler Library at Columbia University in the City of New York, is one of the products of a long term investigation designed by Uriel Weinreich and directed by him at Columbia University until his death in 1967.
		The dialectologist will find in the LCAAJ the first Atlas investigation based on the principles of Structural Dialectology as first explicated by Uriel Weinreich in 1954.
		Since Yiddish was the "language-in-contact" par excellence, everywhere coterritorial with another European language, the LCAAJ also provides an unparalleled opportunity for the study of Bilingual Dialectology, the comparative study of variation in languages occupying the same geographic area.
