Language Loyalty, Continuity and Change
2006
Overview
This short volume provides a comprehensive and synoptic view
of Joshua A. Fishman's contributions to international
sociolinguistics from 1949 to the present. Readers will find in
this volume the essential understandings of Fishmanian
sociolinguistics in two short essays that integrate his life's
work. The first essay by García and Schiffman identifies
the major theoretical contributions and the development of
Fishmanian sociolinguistics, often echoing Fishman's own words.
The essay by Peltz then analyzes Fishman´s contributions
to Yiddish scholarship, as well as the role of that scholarship
in his general work. These essential understandings are then
extended through Fishman's own concluding sentiments, as well
as by the comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography of over
1,000 titles of Joshua A. Fishman's work, compiled by his wife,
Gella Schweid Fishman. Together, the contributions in this
volume pay tribute to the life work of one of the world's most
prolific and original scholars in the field of sociolinguistics
-- the founder of what we refer to in this volume as Fishmanian
sociolinguistics.
