Glosses | גלאָסעס
Welcome to Glosses, a collection of short articles exploring Yiddish language and culture through materials from the Corpus of Spoken Yiddish in Europe. Written by members of the CSYE team and colleagues, these pieces offer new discoveries and insights on topics ranging from linguistic features of understudied dialects to distinctive cultural practices of Yiddish-speaking communities. Some articles provide historical and biographical context for select testimonies and events discussed in the interviews.
This Glosses section also includes pedagogical guides designed to be integrated into Yiddish language courses, benefiting students and instructors alike. These educational pieces aim to bridge the gap between empirical linguistic research and practical language learning, bringing the voices and narratives of native Yiddish speakers into the classroom.
