ABSTRACT

Exploring the Yiddish language of my father, grandmother, her grandmother, and beyond, this autobiographical article frames language as an ever-changing space where identities are negotiated, formed, and contested. Placing the history of Yiddish alongside my own familial relationship to the language, I explore how the stories of individual lives and the histories of people are created through their relationship with and negotiation of language. Through my own personal experience, this article posits language as a both a space of alienation and belonging.

语言的 Mishpacha：意第绪语和归属感

摘要

这篇自传式文章探索了我父亲、祖母、她祖母及其他人的意第绪语，将语言描述为一个不断变化的空间，在这个空间中，身份被协商、形成和竞争。将意第绪语的历史与我自己与该语言的家庭关系放在一起，我探讨了个人生活的故事和人们的历史是如何通过他们与语言的关系和协商来创造的。通过我自己的亲身经历，本文将语言定位为一个异化和归属的空间。
