Hungarian prefers indirect insertion of copied verbal stems. The few counterexamples of directly inserted verbal stems indicate a high degree of intimacy due to intensive contact or relatedness. Andras Rona-Tas and Arpad Berta’s work West Old Turkic published in 2011 gives a list of over thirty Turkic verb stems that were inserted directly into Hungarian during the historical period from the sixth to the tenth centuries when Hungarians lived in close contact with Turkic-speaking tribes. The paper discusses the role of perceived formal and functional equivalence in copying and discusses the question of how the evolvement and the irregular pattern of the Hungarian ik -conjugation can be seen in relation with credible copying processes between West Old Turkic and Ancient Hungarian.

The chapter represents the whole Northern Eurasian area, where Turkic languages are spoken in close contact with the Transeurasian languages Mongolic and Tungusic. These three families share significant grammaticalization strategies and typological characteristics with each other as well as with Koreanic and Japonic. First, the distribution, classification, and some basic typological features of Turkic languages are briefly presented in comparison with other Transeurasian languages. The main focus lies on typically non-European grammaticalization processes that are representative of the whole family and recur throughout the known history of Turkic. A detailed account of different grammaticalization strategies of so-called postverbial constructions—a combination of a converb and an auxilary verb—complements the treatment of similar processes in other Transeurasian languages in the volume.

Comparing the syntax of different Turkic languages or the syntax of one and the same language in different historical periods might lead to findings of theoretical importance. The Turkic syntax known to us from written sources of different periods displays an unusually high degree of stability. Many of the basic typological features of Old Turkic syntax as manifested in inscriptional texts (in so-called Runic script) are also characteristic of modern Turkic. Though they are spread over a huge geographical area, the Turkic languages spoken today also show a relatively high degree of syntactic similarity. In view of these facts, a rewarding object of research would seem to be the notion of a Turkic syntactic type', characterized in positive and negative terms, i.e. as sets of typical and non-typical features.

The Turkic Languages is a reference book which brings together detailed discussions of the historical development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Turkic family. Seen from a linguistic typology point of view, Turkic languages are particularly interesting because of their astonishing morphosyntactic regularity, their vast geographical distribution, and their great stability over time. This volume builds upon a work which has already become a defining classic of Turkic language study. The present, thoroughly revised edition updates and augments those authoritative accounts and reflects recent and ongoing developments in the languages themselves, as well as our further enhanced understanding of the relations and patterns of influence between them. The result is the fruit of decades-long experience in the teaching of the Turkic languages, their philology and literature, and also of a wealth of new insights into the linguistic phenomena and cultural interactions defining their development and use, both historically and in the present day. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis with traditional historical linguistics; a uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts, The Turkic Languages will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics, Turcology, and Near Eastern and Oriental Studies.

The richly illustrated essays in Turcologica Upsaliensia tell the stories of scholars, travellers, diplomats and collectors who made discoveries in the Turkic-speaking world while affiliated with Sweden’s oldest university, at Uppsala.
The study of Oriental languages, including Turkic, has a long tradition at Uppsala. The first part of the volume tells of famous Uppsala professors who were experts not only in Ottoman and Chaghatay, but also in smaller Turkic languages, and of their high esteem for Turkic culture. It also tells how collectors benefited from the Swedish court’s cordial relations with the Ottomans. The second part describes selected manuscripts, art objects and maps, calling readers’ attention to the cultural heritage preserved at the University Library, which is also accessible online.
Contributors include: Göran Bäärnhielm, Jan von Bonsdorff, Bernt Brendemoen, Ulla Birgegård, Éva Á. Csató, Per Cullhed, Kristof D’hulster, Josef Eskhult, Mohammad Fazlhashemi, Gunilla Gren- Eklund, Hans Helander, Lars Johanson, Birsel Karakoç, Sabira Ståhlberg, Ingvar Svanberg, Fikret Turan, and Ali Yıldız.
