Abstract:
Ottoman Turkish so-called transcription texts are texts occasionally written
in non-Arabic scripts such as Roman, Greek, Armenian, and Georgian. The
authors of these texts were "mediators" between Europe and the Middle East,
compilers of grammars, vocabularies, and comments for language students. The
contributions to this volume deal with the value of the mediator texts. They
analyze, on the basis of insightful analytic methods, how these texts can be
used to reconstruct spoken Ottoman varieties and draw conclusions concerning
earlier stages of Turkish language history. The contributions were originally
presented at a workshop titled "The Mediators: Ottoman Turkish and Persian in
Non-Arabic Scripts", organized by the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul
and the Orient-Institut Istanbul. The topic was also thematically relevant for
an interdisciplinary research project, "The Urban Mind. Cultural and
Environmental Dynamics", carried out at Uppsala University and devoted to
"linguistic ecology", i.e., the relationships and interactions of linguistic
codes employed in urban settings. The volume includes a copy of a panoramic
view of Constantinople, drawn in 1710 by the Swedish military draughtsman
Cornelius Loos and now preserved in the national museum in Stockholm.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
