While previous research on the so-called Israelkorpus – autobiographical interviews collected by the German linguist Anne Betten and her colleagues with Jews who fled from German-speaking central European regions to Palestine/Israel mainly in the 1930s – has predominantly focused on the individual language repertoire of the speakers and has only partially dealt with the places that are relevant to the interviewees’ family members in terms of the significance of spatial elements in the narration, this article will focus on the transgenerational perspective. The study envisages both quantitative and qualitative approaches aimed at answering the following questions: where were the first-generation speakers and their parents and grandparents born? To what extent does the interviewees’ family language repertoire differ depending on where their ancestors came from? What language attitudes and ideologies are expressed when certain places and languages are mentioned?
Mentre le ricerche svolte finora sul cosiddetto Israelkorpus – interviste autobiografiche raccolte dalla linguista tedesca Anne Betten e dalle sue collaboratrici con ebrei tedescofoni fuggiti in Palestina/Israele da regioni dell’Europa centrale principalmente negli anni ‘30 – si sono concentrate prevalentemente sul repertorio linguistico individuale dei parlanti, e anche per quanto riguarda il ruolo degli elementi spaziali nella narrazione hanno trattato solo in parte i luoghi rilevanti per i familiari degli intervistati, il presente contributo si concentrerà, invece, sulla prospettiva transgenerazionale. Attraverso un’analisi sia quantitativa che qualitativa, si fornirà una risposta alle seguenti domande di ricerca: dove sono nati i 209 parlanti di prima generazione, i loro genitori e i loro nonni? In che misura il repertorio linguistico familiare degli intervistati differisce a seconda dei luoghi d’origine della famiglia? Quali attitudini e ideologie linguistiche vengono espresse attraverso la tematizzazione di luoghi e lingue?

Abstract
While previous research on the so-called Israelkorpus – autobiographical interviews collected by the German linguist Anne Betten and her colleagues with Jews who fled from German-speaking central European regions to Palestine/Israel mainly in the 1930s – has predominantly focused on the individual language repertoire of the speakers and has only partially dealt with the places that are relevant to the interviewees’ family members in terms of the significance of spatial elements in the narration, this article will focus on the transgenerational perspective. The study envisages both quantitative and qualitative approaches aimed at answering the following questions: where were the first-generation speakers and their parents and grandparents born? To what extent does the interviewees’ family language repertoire differ depending on where their ancestors came from? What language attitudes and ideologies are expressed when certain places and languages are mentioned?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
