Ghil'ad Zuckermann Biography

Ghil'ad Zuckermann is one of the most popular and richest Linguist who was born on June 1, 1971 in Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv District, Israel.

Ghil’ad Zuckermann (Hebrew: גלעד צוקרמן ‎, pronounced [ɡiˈlad ˈtsukeʁman] ; (1971-06-01 ) 1 June 1971) is an Israeli-born language revivalist and linguist who works in contact linguistics, lexicology and the study of language, culture and identity. Zuckermann is Professor of Linguistics and Chair of Endangered Languages at the University of Adelaide, Australia.

Zuckermann proposes a controversial hybrid theory of the emergence of Israeli Hebrew according to which Hebrew and Yiddish “acted equally” as the “primary contributors” to Modern Hebrew. Scholars including Yiddish linguist Dovid Katz (who refers to Zuckermann as a “fresh-thinking Israeli scholar”), adopt Zuckermann’s term “Israeli” and accept his notion of hybridity. Others, for example author and translator Hillel Halkin, oppose Zuckermann’s model. In an article published on 24 December 2004 in The Jewish Daily Forward, pseudonymous column “Philologos”, Halkin accused Zuckermann of political agenda. Zuckermann’s response was published on 28 December 2004 in The Mendele Review: Yiddish Literature and Language.
