Hebrew and Zionism : a discourse analytic cultural study [WorldCat Entities]

"Main description: This book observes and critiques controversies on the genesis and the character of Israeli Hebrew. Did it emerge through revival? Did Ben-Yehuda play a role in it? Is Hebrew a normal language now? The hegemonic ideology of the revival of Hebrew is shown to have been harmonious with various Zionist streams, as well as with its rival, Canaanism. The effects of revivalism are evaluated, and an argument is made in favor of non-revivalist alternatives in linguistics and in language education."
"Book targets the nation language as its object of investigation, focusing on the case of Hebrew in Israel. It strives to illuminate some of the processes by which Zionist movement, came to attach importance to the revival of the ancient Hebrew."
