![]() ![]() The font was released in 1935 through Ludwig & Mayer and the Jerusalem Type Foundry. Monotype Corporation and Kivun Computers designed this clean and modern typeface family. This font family comes in 22 styles and five weights, including Regular, Bold, Medium, Thin, and Heavy. He was an Israeli type designer, born in Radomska, Poland, in 1909. The font is known for its extensive usage across Windows versions. This font is also known as a modern sans serif typeface. ‘“Realistic Prescriptivism”: The Academy of the Hebrew Language, its Campaign of “Good Grammar” and Lexpionage, and the Native Israeli Speakers’' Israel Studies in Language and Society 1.1: 135-154.The Aharoni font is a Hebrew language typeface. I will suggest that the Academy has begun submitting to the 'real world', accommodating its decrees to the parole of native Israeli speakers, long regarded as 'reckless' and 'lazy'. ![]() It will shed light on the dynamics of the committees' meetings, and expose some U-turn decisions recently made by the Academy. This lecture will provide a critical analysis of the Academy's mission, as intriguingly defined in its constitution: 'to direct the development of Hebrew in light of its nature' (sic). Brought into being by legislation in 1953 as the supreme institute for Hebrew, the Academy of the Hebrew Language prescribes standards for Israeli grammar, lexis, orthography, transcription and vocalization (vowel marking) 'based upon the study of Hebrew's historical development'. However, most Israelis say éser shékel 'ten shekels' rather than asar-á shkal-ím, the latter literally meaning 'ten (feminine) shekels (masculine plural)', and thus having a 'polarity-of-gender agreement' - with a feminine numeral and a masculine plural noun. For example, in an article in Ha'aretz (June 21, 2004), left-wing politician Yossi Sarid attacked the (most widespread) 'common language of éser shekel' as inarticulate and monstrous, and urged citizens to take up arms, fight it and protect "Hebrew". Linguistic issues are so sensitive in Israel that politicians are often involved. 'Modern Hebrew' – has become the primary mode of communication in all domains of public and private life in Israel. Over the past century, Israeli – somewhat misleadingly a.k.a. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? 'Who will guard the guardians themselves?' (Iuvenalis, Satirae, vi, 347-8). One particular difficulty associated with teleological explanation which accounts for the aversion felt to it by many people, including a number of linguists, is what Braithwaite (1953:324) has called "the special puzzle of Authenticated | Download Date | A teleological explanation of the same change might suggest that it took place in order to ease the articulatory effort for the speaker. 1 Causal explanations in relation to sound change would be typified by the view that Latin becomes Italian because of phonetic assimilation of the first plosive to the point of articulation of the second. ![]() Philosophers commonly distinguish two modes of explanation: causal (because of χ) and teleological (in order that χ). It follows necessarily that the problem of finality can be applied to a chain of successive mutations, that is to diachronic linguistics." In an attempt to resolve such conflicts, often in no small part terminological, we shall seek to elaborate a theory of permissible teleology within language and to consider some recent work in the light of that theory. Thus, Bloomfield (1934:35) argued: "Teleology cuts off investigation by providing a ready-made answer to any question we may ask." while Jakobson (1931:136) maintained: " When we consider a linguistic mutation within the context of linguistic synchrony, we bring it into the sphere of teleological problems. Among previous generations of historical linguists, powerful protagonists are ranged on both sides of the debate. One fundamental issue is whether final causes are allowable as a mode of explanation within historical linguistics. With the recent revival of interest in linguistic change amongst theoretical linguists has come the re-posing of a number of old questions, not the least of which relates to the causality of change. ![]()
