这篇文章讨论了英语为什么以及如何在说意第绪语的美国哈西德派犹太人中成为一种当代犹太语言,这与以色列希伯来语(IH)形成鲜明对比,后者没有经过类似的调整。一个原因是,与对英语的“狂热”反对相比,社区对英语的态度并不像意识形态上那么强烈。另一个原因是,英语能够经历语音和词汇上的修改,这使得哈西德派英语能够在社区内作为一种民族语言使用。然而,这一过程在语言上对希伯来语来说更为复杂,因此在以色列讲意第绪语的哈雷丁语中,希伯来语仍然是一种外来语言。意第绪语的外行地位和哈西德英语的内行地位反映在意第绪语的公开演讲者之间的语码转换模式中,这导致了美国人之间意第绪语-英语转换的普遍而轻松的模式,而以色列人之间切换到意第绪语的情况则是罕见而明显的。
This article discusses why and how English was able to turn into a contemporary Jewish language among Yiddish-speaking American Hasidic Jews, in marked contrast to Israeli Hebrew ( IH ), which has not been similarly adjusted. One reason is that communal attitudes towards English are not as ideologically charged as compared to the “zealous” opposition to IH . Another reason is that English is able to undergo phonological and lexical modifications that enable Hasidic English to function as an ethnolect used within the community. This process, however, is linguistically more complex for IH , which thus remains an outsider language among Israeli Yiddish-speaking Haredim. The outsider status of IH versus the insider status of Hasidic English is reflected in the code-switching patterns attested among Yiddish public speakers, resulting in a common and effortless pattern of Yiddish-English switching among American speakers, as opposed to rare and marked instances of switches to IH among Israeli speakers.
