Abstract:
This work is about Modern Uyghur, a Turkic language spoken mainly by around 11
million Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, the northwestern
part of the People's Republic of China. It describes and analyzes the
linguistic and historical consequences of contact-induced change in evidence
in Modern Uyghur in both their linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects, based
on empirical material. Most relevant contact languages are typologically quite
different from each other and from Turkic and belong to different genetic
groups: Semitic (Arabic), Iranian (Persian), Slavic (Russian) and Sino-Tibetan
(Chinese). The only contact languages which are typologically similar to
Turkic are the Mongolic ones; this important contact situation has hitherto
not received the interest it deserves in scholarly literature. Although much
of our subject matter is in the past, our present-day material lends itself to
the contrast of five different types of language interaction. We present
detailed accounts of various aspects of the integration of foreign
morphological units into Uyghur, and phonetic and phonological changes of
elements copied from spoken and written, standard and dialect varieties of the
sources languages. We have listed types of semantic classification observable
for the different contact languages, looking at the competition between terms
from these languages during the past and present in the contact scenarios
offered by Uyghur.
