In this article we analyze several examples of the syntactic structure ansí un...(Eng. such a...) apparently calqued from the German expression so ein... that can be found in different Judeo-Spanish texts since the second half of 19th Century. Although the eldest examples appeared in Judeo-Spanish translations of German novels, published in Vienna – what suggests that they could be mere cases derived from a kind of translation too attached to the original –, we can also find more examples in Sephardic texts produced outside the German speaking area (Bosnia, Bulgaria, etc.), not being necessarily translations of a German original. Dealing with all these cases, we will try to trace (and explain) the spread of the ansí un syntactic structure in modern Judeo-Spanish prose.
The political and social changes with which the 19th century began in the Balkans after a great part of their territories were taken over by the Austrian Empire, also resulted in social and intellectual activity and created a new framework in the relationship with the Ottoman Empire. Vienna turned into the shelter of many citizens from the Balkans who then became the transmitters of innovation to their co-citizens through their contact with central European culture. In this sense, the members of Jewish communities participated as much as members of other ethnical and social groups. The most prominent of these Jews was Israel Hayim de Belogrado (‘of Belgrade’), who developed an important intellectual work in the Austrian capital between 1813 and 1837. He even reformed Judeo-Spanish spelling and introduced new methodologies for learning Hebrew as a second language, based on the use of a trilingual nomenclature (Hebrew, Judeo-Spanish, German) when presenting the lexical repertoire.
Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die vielfältige Sefarden-Forschung im deutschsprachigen Raum seit ihren Anfängen im 19. Jahrhundert bis heute. Dazu gehören die zahlreichen Forschungsthemen (zu denen auch die sefardischen Gemeinden in Wien und Hamburg zählen) und die Vorstellung der wichtigsten Forscher und ihrer Arbeiten auf diesem Gebiet.
Nachruf
(2013)
Am 31. Januar, kurz vor einer Vortragsreise nach Israel, erlitt William Hiscott einen Herzinfarkt, fiel ins Koma und verstarb am 6. Februar 2013 im Herzzentrum in Berlin. Damit verloren wir an der Universität Potsdam völlig überraschend einen engagierten und äußerst beliebten Nachwuchsforscher und jungen Kollegen.
