Shlomo Groman

Sclomo Groman was born in Moscow in 1967. Various dialects of Yiddish sounded in his family prompted him to study the standard language and literature in Yiddish - first independently, then under the guidance of specialists in this field who lived in Russia then. After immigrating to Israel in 1990, Shlomo continued his studies at the Yiddish Center of Bar-Ilan University; now he is awaiting approval of his PhD dissertation "Scientific Literature in Yiddish: Terminology and Ideology." He authored "Russian-Yiddish Phrase Book" and "Concise Yiddish-Russian Dictionary". Shlomo Groman’s research interests comprise: Yiddish lexicology with an etymological bias; terminology of exact, natural, and technological sciences; language planning in the context of ideological influences; theory of Yiddish grammar in comparison with other languages.
