Contributions to linguistics
Zuckermann's research focuses on contact linguistics, lexicology, revivalistics, Jewish languages, and the study of language, culture and identity.
Zuckermann argues that Israeli Hebrew, which he calls "Israeli", is a hybrid language that is genetically both Indo-European (Germanic, Slavic and Romance) and Afro-Asiatic (Semitic). He suggests that "Israeli" is the continuation not only of literary Hebrew(s) but also of Yiddish, as well as Polish, Russian, German, English, Ladino, Arabic and other languages spoken by Hebrew revivalists.[https://www.jta.org/2023/09/05/ideas/israeli-hebrew-didnt-kill-yiddish-as-a-new-exhibit-in-nyc-shows-it-gave-it-a-new-place-to-nest Israeli Hebrew didn't kill Yiddish. As a new exhibit in NYC shows, it gave it a new nest to live in.], Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 6 September 2023.
His hybridic synthesis is in contrast to both the traditional revival thesis (i.e. that "Israeli" is Hebrew) and the relexification antithesis (i.e. that "Israeli" is Yiddish with Hebrew words).{{cite book|last=Zuckermann|first=Ghil'ad|year=2006|chapter-url=http://www.zuckermann.org/pdf/complement_clause.pdf|chapter=Complement Clause Types in Israeli|title=Complementation: A Cross-Linguistic Typology|editor=R. M. W. Dixon|editor2=Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald|publisher=Oxford University Press|pages=72–92|access-date=19 August 2016}}
Zuckermann introduces revivalistics as a new transdisciplinary field of enquiry surrounding language reclamation (e.g. Barngarla), revitalization (e.g. Adnyamathanha) and reinvigoration (e.g. Irish).
His analysis of multisourced neologization (the coinage of words deriving from two or more sources at the same time){{cite book|last=Zuckermann|first=Ghil'ad|year=2003|url=http://www.palgrave.com/br/book/9781403917232|title=Language Contact and Lexical Enrichment in Israeli Hebrew|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=978-1403917232}} challenges Einar Haugen's classic typology of lexical borrowing.{{cite journal|last=Haugen|first=Einar|year=1950|title=The Analysis of Linguistic Borrowing|journal=Language|volume=26|issue=2|pages=210–231|doi=10.2307/410058|jstor=410058|url=https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/dilarastirmalari/issue/4721/64699}} Whereas Haugen categorizes borrowing into either substitution or importation, Zuckermann explores cases of "simultaneous substitution and importation" in the form of camouflaged borrowing. He proposes a new classification of multisourced neologisms such as phono-semantic matching.{{fact|date=March 2025}}
Zuckermann's exploration of phono-semantic matching in Standard Mandarin and Meiji period Japanese concludes that the Chinese writing system is multifunctional: pleremic ("full" of meaning, e.g. logographic), cenemic ("empty" of meaning, e.g. phonographic – like a syllabary) and simultaneously cenemic and pleremic (phono-logographic). He argues that Leonard Bloomfield's assertion that "a language is the same no matter what system of writing may be used"Bloomfield, Leonard (1933), Language, New York: Henry Holt, p. 21. is inaccurate. "If Chinese had been written using roman letters, thousands of Chinese words would not have been coined, or would have been coined with completely different forms".
