SUMMARY:Introducing the Corpus of Spoken Yiddish in Europe
DESCRIPTION:\nHolocaust testimonies in language research and pedagogy\n\n\n\nPresented by:Dr. Isaac L. Bleaman, Associate Professor Linguistics and Jewish Studies, University of California, Berkeley\n\n\n\nThe Corpus of Spoken Yiddish in Europe (CSYE; yiddishcorpus.org) is a digital language archive sourced from hundreds of video-recorded interviews with Holocaust survivors from the USC Shoah Foundation. The materials contained in the corpus are a testament to the social and linguistic diversity of Yiddish-speaking Jewish society and an invaluable resource for linguistic research, Yiddish language instruction, and Holocaust education and commemoration. In this talk, I preview the resources in the CSYE, describe the process of corpus development, and discuss applications in language research, pedagogy, and revitalization.\n\n\n\nPlease note: Dr. Bleaman will be remote; however, there will be an in-person gathering with refreshments. You may also join using the Zoom link provided.\n\n\n\nSponsored by:The Michael and Elaine Serling Institute for Jewish Studies and Modern Israel, The Department of Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures, and The Second Language Studies Corpus Linguistics Lab\n\n\n\n\n
