- Title
Ber Borochov's "The Tasks of Yiddish Philology.".
- Authors
Trachtenberg, Barry
- Abstract
The article explores the contribution of Jewish Marxist Ber Borochov's manifesto "The Tasks of Yiddish Philology" to Yiddish scholarship. The manifesto, published in 1913, was modeled after the late nineteenth-century European movements of linguistic nationalism and articulated Yiddish scholarship as a discrete field of scientific research. It also reflected Borochov's Yiddish scholarship, which for him was a means for exploration and cultivation of the Jewish proletariat and the establishment of the Jewish nation.
