Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ladino Songs
Alice, thanks for the additional reference. The Macaronics comes in where the Ladino lyrics are mixed with lyrics n Hebrew, Turkish, Greek or any other language met with in the Sephardic Mediterranean diaspora. The use of loanwords in Ladino itself does not of itself constitute code switching / macaronics. Every language borrows - sometimes quite extensively - from other languages.
