- Abstract
- This paper analyzes the way loan verbs from a single donor language (family), Oghuz Turkic, are accommodated into languages of two different linguistic areas with the use of set-specific loan morphology. The first area extends from Transoxiana to Eastern Asia Minor, in which verbs from Turkic are borrowed with postterminal/indirective suffix -miʃ functioning as a loan verb marker. The second area includes Asia Minor and the Balkan peninsula in which the aorist suffix -DI is copied to create a novel matrix into which verbs are accommodated as verbs. The divergence between the two is accounted for in terms of their contact with different Oghuz languages. We show that language-specific features of the languages account for the choice of the specific ‘loan morphology’. We conclude that although social factors are a prerequisite for the borrowing phenomena, the creation of new patterns depends on the way languages organize their morphological systems.
