Israeli Hebrew is a spoken language, "reinvented" during the 20th century. It has responded to the social and technological demands of globalization with a vigorously developing multi-sourced lexicon, enriched by foreign language contact. In this detailed and rigorous study, Ghil'ad Zuckermann provides a principled classification of neologisms, their semantic fields and the roles of source languages, along with a sociolinguistic study of the attitudes of "purists" and ordinary native speakers in the tension between linguistic creativity and the preservation of a distinct language identity.
