Abstract:

This monograph discusses phonetic, morphological and semantic features of the
‘Altaic’ Sprachbund (i.e. Turkic, Mongolic and Tungusic) elements in Yeniseian
languages (Kott, Assan, Arin, Pumpokol, Yugh and Ket), a rather heterogeneous
language family traditionally classified as one of the ‘Paleo-Siberian’
language groups, that are not related to each other or to any other languages
on the face of the planet. 

The present work is based on a database of approximately 230 Turkic and 70
Tungusic loanwords. A smaller number of loanwords are of Mongolic origin,
which came through either the Siberian Turkic languages or the Tungusic Ewenki
languages. There are clear linguistic criteria, which help to distinguish
loanwords borrowed via Turkic or Tungusic and not directly from Mongolic
languages. 

One of the main outcomes of this research is the establishment of the
Yeniseian peculiar features in the Altaic loanwords. The phonetic criteria
comprise the regular disappearance of vowel harmony, syncope, amalgamation,
aphaeresis and metathesis. Besides, a separate group of lexemes represents
hybrid words, i.e. the lexical elements where one element is Altaic and the
other one is Yeniseian. 

This book presents a historical-etymological survey of a part of the Yeniseian
lexicon, which provides an important part of the comparative database of
Proto-Yeniseian reconstructions.
