Abstract

This article analyzes the mix of Yiddish, castídish, Buenos Aires standard Spanish, and lunfardo present in three songs by the comedian singer-songwriter Max Perlman (1909-1985). His repertoire has achieved popularity within the framework of the Argentine Yiddish theatre during the first half of the 20th century.
