Multilingualism in Israel.
Spolsky, Bernard
Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, v17 p138-50 1997
Israel is fertile ground for research in multilingualism. Revitalization of Hebrew resulted in a tendency for ideological and instrumentally-motivated monolingualism to replace earlier multilingual patterns, even in the context of pressure for language shift by Arabic, Russian, Yiddish, and other languages, and Hebrew's competition with English in an increasing number of domains. A four-item annotated bibliography is included. (MSE)
