LANGUAGE PLANNING: How corpus planning reflects the accompanying status planning agenda Ausbau efforts, language purism efforts, classicization efforts, "panification" efforts  The creation, standardization and revision of writing systems The organization and operation of language academies/agencies, regardless of auspices. All of the above, particularly among "non-states peoples".  YIDDISH: All societal/institutional aspects (demography, schools, courses, press, theater, literature; political parties, activist groups, attitudes, etc.) The sociology of Jewish vernaculars other-than-Hebrew: Judezmo/Ladino, Mugrabi, Zerfatic, Yevanic, Italkic, Yahudic, Farsic, etc. Comparative post-exhilic sociology of Jewish languages. BILINGUAL EDUCATION: In the USA: All types other than Title VII Anywhere in the world: enrichment, two-way, maintenance, Reversing Language Shift, rationales and ideologies, particularly in diglossic settings, governmentally supported and volunteer/community supported MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: Traditional folk medicines (homeopathic) NOT co-opted by modern Western (allopathic) medicine  Philosophy "I have had the incredible good fortune to be exposed simultaneously to modern Western as well as to modern and classical Jewish thought, to secular and religious values, beliefs, ideals as well as theoretical and applied emphases, to the comforts of a language of wider communication (English) and a language of ethnic intimacy (Yiddish), to the infinite world of science, the eternal land of my ancestors, and the new world of democracy, opportunity and pluralism to which my parents came as adolescent immigrants. I have tried to combine all of these influences within myself as well as to contribute to them all. I consider both the tensions and the creativity resulting from these varied stimuli to constitute a unique heritage: an American-Jewish heritage to be treasured, cultivated, enriched and handed on". Activities The Joshua A. Fishman and Gella Schweid Fishman Family Archive Housed at Special Collections, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, CA., the Fishman Archive is unique in several ways. It is inter-disciplinary, international, multilingual and inter-generational. A large proportion of the materials (extending from 1940 to 1994) has been processed. The Archive contains drafts of subsequently published books and articles (through to 1994), course outlines (courses taught and courses taken), lectures given, offprint collections (by language and country), clippings, professional correspondence, family correspondence, photographs, audio-tapes video-tapes and other materials pertaining to Fishman's work in sociolinguistics, bilingual education, language and ethnicity/ nationalism, multiculturaralism, language planning, Jewish studies (Yiddish), test construction and medical anthropology. Equally diverse holdings are available for Gella Schweid Fishman, veteran Yiddish teacher, teacher-trainer, activist and founder of the Secular Yiddish Schools in North America Collection, which is also housed at Special Collections.  .
