Blessings, Curses, Hopes, and Fears – Psycho–Ostensive Expressions in Yiddish

TRAMA

In this delightful book, the author enumerates and classifies the formulas Yiddish speakers use to express their emotions--from blessings and thanks to lamentations and curses. A rarity among scholarly books, it brings joy while it teaches; it makes us smile, sometimes roar with laughter, while it develops the most rigorous linguistic argumentation.
