Eliezer Ben-Yehuda & the Revival of Hebrew | Jewish Virtual Library Eliezer Ben-Yehuda & the Revival of Hebrew In his pioneering work on language revivals and language revivers published in 1966, the American linguist Einar Haugen wrote: “It appears to be almost the rule that such movements can be traced back to a single devoted person, who gave focus to the prevailing dissatisfactions of his people.

Theirs became one contribution to the general liberation of the group, a medium of revolt and a symbol of unity.” For the Hebrew language revival, one of the truly outstanding socio-linguistic events of modern times, this characterization is eminently true of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda.
