Abstract:

This is a comprehensive study on modality in one of the largest Turkic
languages, Kazakh, as it is spoken in China. Kazakh is the official language
of the Republic of Kazakhstan and is furthermore spoken by about one and a
half million people in China in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and in
Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County in the Gansu Province.

The method employed is empirical, i.e. data-oriented. Modal expressions in
Kazakh are analyzed in a theoretical framework essentially based on the works
of Lars Johanson in which semantic notions of modality are defined from a
functional and typological perspective. The modal categories volition, deontic
and epistemic evaluation express attitudes towards the propositional content
and are conveyed in Kazakh by grammaticalized moods, particles and lexical
devices, treated in detail in this book.

Plenty of examples of their different usages are provided with interlinear
annotation. The Kazakh expressions are compared with corresponding ones used
in other Turkic languages. Contact influences of Uyghur and Chinese are also
dealt with. The Appendix contains nine texts recorded by Aynur Abish in
2010-2012, mostly in the northern regions of Xinjiang. (Harrassowitz Verlag
