Descrizione

The Turkic languages are spoken today in a vast geographical area stretching from the Balkans to the Arctic Ocean and from Southern Iran to the great wall of China. "Turkic Languages" is the first reference book for almost forty years to bring together detailed discussions of the historic development and specialized linguistic structures and features of the languages in the Turkic family. Seen from a linguistic topology point of view, Turkic languages are particularly interesting because of their astonishing morphosyntactic regularity, their vast geographical distribution and their great stability over time. Each chapter combines modern linguistic analysis with traditional historical linguistics and a uniform structure allows for easy typological comparison between the individual languages. Written by an international team of experts, "Turkic Languages" will be invaluable to students and researchers within linguistics, Turcology and Near Eastern and Oriental Studies.
