ATATÜRK ÜNİVERSİTESİ’NE ÖĞRENİM GÖRMEK İÇİN GELEN YABANCI ÖĞRENCİLERİN TÜRKÇE ÖĞRENİRKEN KARŞILAŞTIĞI SORUNLAR

Author(s): Mutlu Melis Özgeriş / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 09/2017

Foreign students encounter with various problems and difficulties when they want to learn Turkish. These problems may be indirectly caused by environmental conditions as well as the structural differences of Turkish. The biggest problem in foreign language learning is perhaps the inability to find any possibility to practice languages that are being learned. The best way of learning is possible with the practical implementation by going to the place in which the language is spoken. This provides more effective and long-lasting learning. The number of people who want to learn Turkish increases as our country has been the focus of interest in recent years. Many students have been coming to Turkey from different parts of the world for various reasons. Thus, it is necessary for them to learn Turkish in their orientation process. For that purpose, Turkish courses in universities and Turkish training centres have been established under different names. The first and the biggest problem of the students who do not speak Turkish is the syntactic, structural and audial differences between Turkish and their native language which belongs to different language family. While they are trying to produce Turkish structures they usually fail by being unable to transfer from their mother tongue. In addition to the problems that are caused by the structure of Turkish language and its semantics, some other problems may also occur that will affect and disrupt the language learning process. These problems may originate from lecturers, course materials, training environment, and language teaching institutions, or even from the students themselves and the environment. In this study, a survey has been applied to the foreign students coming to study at Atatürk University and we have tried to make determinations by looking through the eyes of the students who have difficulties in learning Turkish, while making suggestions to avoid these problems.

Remarks on the etymology of Old Turkic yutuz

Author(s): Gülden Sağol Yüksekkaya / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Language, which is the main carrier of culture, and culture are two things that complement each other. The language of an individual is shaped under the influence of the society and community the person lives in as a part of it. The feelings and mentality of people of former periods have left their imprint on and are reflected in the language. Bearing this in mind, in the present study an attempt is made to explain and elucidate the etymology of the Old Turkic word yutuz ‘wife, woman’.

NEW ANALYSES ON SOME KALBAK-TASH INSCRIPTIONS

Author(s): Hülya Yildiz / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

This paper focuses on Kalbak-Tash Inscriptions Nos XX, XXI and XXII which belong to the group of the Mountainous Altai Inscriptions. It provides an analysis of the problematic issues of these three inscriptions having emerged in previous studies, as well as to some new reading proposals for some parts of the inscriptions. The words kara and égil in Inscription No. XXI are interpreted as “commoner, an ordinary person”; and the word igen “deer” (< Old Turkic ingen “she-camel”) in Inscriptions No. XX and No. XXI is explained with the correspondence of Old Turkic teve “camel” = Yakut taba “reindeer”. In addition, the study lays emphasis on the fact that the antepenultimate sign of Inscription No. XXII could be s 1 , and the word asŋar- which includes this sign could be interpreted as “(he) stopped (work) on the affair and sat down”. Another proposal which is put forward for Inscription No. XXII is that the signs g2 t 2 r 2 are explained as éget er “servant, retainer”.

ON SOME ORIENTAL ELEMENTS IN OLD NOVGORODIAN AND OTHER OLD RUSSIAN DIALECTS

Author(s): Klára Agyagási / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

The author is aiming to interpret the historical connection between Old Russian kamka and Old Novgorodian õàìú ‘textile of silk damask’. She comes to the conclusion that the former is a borrowing from East Old Turkic qamqï, while the latter is a loan from West Old Turkic χamï. Both Old Turkic words are of Chinese origin.

Dialectal elements in the vocabulary of the Uyghur Khanate inscriptions

Author(s): Erhan Aydin / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2016

One of the significant problems with Old Turkic inscriptions is that it is not known by which peoples’ or tribe’s Turkic language the inscriptions were written in. Although among the clans and persons who wrote and erected the large inscriptions of the Turkic and Uyghur Khanates, those of Köl Tegin, Bilge Kaghan, Şine Usu, Tariat, Tes and Karabalghasun I were identified, the peoples or clans having erected the other inscriptions are mostly unknown. The most serious problem encountered by researchers in consideration of the tribal seals present in the inscriptions is the uncertainty whether the seal belonged to the tribe that wrote or erected the inscription, or the tribe that was in power at that time. This paper investigates the inscriptions of the Uyghur Khanate. Our scrutiny is based on the examination of the peculiarities of the Uyghur Khanate inscriptions which cannot be observed in any other inscriptions of Mongolia, Yenisei, Altai and Kyrgyzstan. By substituting these peculiar words with other words to be found in other inscriptions, an attempt has been made to prove that these words are Uyghur dialectal words. After an inquiry whether the words were used subsequent to the runic period, etymological suggestions concerning the words have also been put forward.

A MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL CALLED AL-WARK

Author(s): Krzysztof Tomasz Witczak / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

The paper examines the mysterious term al-wark, which – according to Maḥmūd of Kāşğarī (11th century AD) – denotes a small animal similar to a badger (Turk. borsmuk) in the Xakani language. This animal was treated as a symbol of fatness. It is suggested that the term in question was borrowed from a Tocharian source. The Indo-European term *wṛḱos (m.) ‘badger’ (originally ‘fat animal’, cf. Hittite warkant- adj. ‘fat’) is reconstructed on the basis of Indic, Greek and Anatolian lexical data.

A HISTORICAL MORPHOLOGY OF WESTERN KARAIM: THE -p edi- PAST TENSE IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN DIALECT

Author(s): Michał Németh / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The present paper describes the -p edi- past tense in Western Karaim – the first such attempt made in the available scholarly literature. It is important to note that the paper is based not only on philological data collected from manuscripts from the 18th–20th centuries, but also on field research conducted by the late Polish Turcologist, Józef Sulimowicz (1913–1973). His linguistic informants were Karaims from Halych.

Yakut names for animals in Pallas’s Zoographia

Author(s): László Károly / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2008

In the investigation of the prehistory of the Yakut language only few and not very reliable sources are at our disposal. Although these sources are very important, some are not available for the researchers, or not prepared to meet modern linguistic/philological requirements. The main aim of this paper is to present the Yakut material of Zoographia Rosso-Asiatica , a famous work of P. S. Pallas published in 1811, for further research. In addition, etymological notes and remarks on the naming conventions of Yakuts are also included. In the appendix all the Yakut materials of the Zoographia , 135 different items altogether, are presented in a systematic way, with the comparison of data from the corresponding works of D. G. Messerschmidt and J. G. Gmelin.

Abschied vom Alttürkischen Witwenkleid

Author(s): Peter Zieme / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2008

This article discusses the mysterious Old Turkic word tulton in the Manichaean story of a drunken man who had sexual intercourse in a tomb with the dead corpse of a woman. This hapax was interpreted as a compound of tul “widow” and ton “dress”. The new interpretation of another Manichaean text in which the same word appears clearly shows that the word in question has to be read tultun or toltun with the meaning “grove”.

Professor Gyula Káldy-Nagy

Author(s): Géza Dávid / Language(s): English Issue: 1-2/2008

Gyula Káldy-Nagy was born at Nagydém, a village in Veszprém County, Hungary on July 14, 1927. He finished a prominent secondary school in Sopron, a significant town in Western Hungary. After two years at the Faculty of Law, Péter Pázmány University in Budapest, he started Turkology at the Faculty of Arts of the same university renamed after Loránd Eötvös in 1950. His masters were Professors Gyula Németh and Lajos Fekete, both excelling in their own fields: Németh in Turkology with its linguistic-philological aspects and Fekete in Ottoman-Turkish palaeography and the history of the Ottoman Empire. This latter field attracted Káldy-Nagy’s attention so much that he dedicated his whole life to the investigation of the past of this world empire, and within this mainly the Ottoman rule in Hungary.

The press and the ethnic identity: Turkicisation of Karaite printing in interwar Poland and Lithuania

Author(s): Mikhail Kizilov / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2007

In the late mediaeval and early modern period scattered communities of the Karaites (i.e. non-Talmudic Jews) settled in several regions of Eastern Europe such as the Crimea, Poland and Lithuania. In the 18th and 19th centuries the Karaites printed their books (mostly exegetical and theological works in Hebrew) in several Karaite and Rabbanite typographies. Nevertheless, after 1917 the centre of Karaite printing shifted from the Russian Empire to interwar Poland and Lithuania. Surprisingly, a tiny Karaite community of interwar Poland and Lithuania (ca. 800 individuals) had been publishing as many as five periodicals in three languages! Furthermore, the Karaites also printed quite a number of separate brochures and leaflets, and published articles in non-Karaite periodicals. From the 1930s the Karaite community started losing its Judeo-Karaite identity and accepted a new Turkic ethnic self-identification which was based mostly on the use of the Turkic Karaim language and a few pseudo-scholarly theories testifying to the non-Semitic origins of the Karaites. The renaissance of Karaite printing was stopped in 1939, with the Soviet intervention in Poland and the beginning of the Second World War. The paper analyses the main tendencies in the development of the Karaite printing in Poland and Lithuania in the interwar period. A special emphasis is placed upon the role of printing in the unusual transformation of the East European Karaites’ ethnic identity — from pious non-Talmudic Jewish believers to an isolated ethnic enclave with a bogus Khazaro-Turkic identity.

Studien zur alttürkischen Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā (3) Die Erzählung vom Muttermörder Kāmapriya

Author(s): Jens Wilkens / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2007

In the present article fourteen fragments of the cycle of stories Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā in Old Turkic which are housed in Berlin and St. Petersburg are identified as belonging to a story which was formerly unknown in Turkic literature but can now be related to several parallel versions in Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese Buddhist works. Whereas the overall story in the Avadāna is similar to the other versions, the Old Turkic legend shows several unique features. The main character Kāmapriya, who has killed his own mother, tries to annihilate his misdeed by entering the Buddhist community but is subsequently discovered by a young arhat who possesses the “eye of meditation”.

The Eurasian Areal Aspect of Old Turkic Written Culture

Author(s): Dmitrij D. Vasil'ev / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2005

The numerous stone inscriptions found lately in South Siberia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe have drawn the attention of students of Old Turkic literary culture to the question of how the Old Turkic monuments of the Orkhon and Yenisei type are related to the so-called 'runiform' inscriptions. This problem overshadows even the debate on the origins of the Old Turkic runic script, as many of the new materials, at least those found in South Siberia and Central Asia, obviously predate the runic texts hitherto known and subjected to ethno-historical analyses. In a similar fashion, serious corrections in terms of genesis, paleography and dating, can be made to previous studies, even to those that deal with well-studied variants of Turkic runic script. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the runic inscriptions spread all over Eurasia lack any convincing interpretation, and their deciphering is also at a very preliminary stage.

On the Turkic Origin of Hungarian igen 'yes'

Author(s): Lars Johanson / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2004

The present paper discusses the origin of the Hungarian particle igen 'yes', for which no convincing etymology has been presented so far. It is suggested that it is a selective copy of Turkic egen ~ igen (< erken), an indirective and/or emphatic rhetorical particle ('evidently', 'obviously', 'apparently', 'as it appears', 'it turns out that', 'indeed'), derived from er- 'to be' and used as part of the predicate core and/or as a postpredicate element to convey consenting or admitting answers.

Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Öğrenen Öğrencilerin Akıcı Sözcük ve Metin Okuma Becerileriyle Kavrama Becerileri Arasındaki İlişkinin Karşılaştırılması

Author(s): Hakan Ülper / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 1/2018

Reading skills are one of the basic skills areas of language teaching. For that reason, it is an important field that is emphasized in the process of mother language and foreign language teaching. In this sense, reading skill is a skill area that requires complex mental processes. It is expected that the reading should be fluent in order to fulfill this skill. Since fluency reading is an important variable that affects the concept as it is in the field. Studies on the learners who learn other languages as a foreign languages show both fluent word reading and fluent text reading are related to the comprehension. However, in the following periods, fluent text reading seems to be more related to the comprehension. How is the situation in terms of students learning Turkish as a foreign language? This question forms the basis of the research. As a result of the research process, both fluent word reading and fluent text reading were found to be related to the level of comprehension of Turkish students as foreign language learners. On the other hand, unlike the literature, fluent word reading is more related to the comprehension.

Тюркские элементы в русской антропонимии

Author(s): Aleksandra Superanskaja / Language(s): Russian Issue: 27/1993

Niektóre nazwiska rosyjskie (Bashmakov) derywowane są od podstaw tureckich (bashmak), które są pożyczkami nazw pospolitych funkcjonujących jako imiona własne w języku rosyjskim. Inne nazwiska pochodzą z tzw. ukrytych turkizmów - starotureckich nazwisk rodowych i plemiennych, które tworzą odrębny typ imion własnych występujących wśród grup nomadycznych, np. nazwisko Balashov wywodzi się z ba las h. Delin z deli, Kasltov - z Kash itd. Niektóre z tych nazwisk sięgają wstecz do Chazarów. Kumanów, Pieczyngów i innych starszych grup etnicznych. Takie nazwiska rodowe mogą być czasem zbieżne z rosyjskimi imionami chrzestnymi: Kira - kira, Zol - zol. czy z pospolitymi nazwami rosyjskimi: borok. heg, barin. Nazwiska pochodzące z nazw rodowych tworzą zwykle liczebnie duże klasy: Shorov, Shorin, Shorikov, Shorkin, Shorikhin, Shorichev etc. Analiza semantyczna i onomastyczna jest pomocna w dochodzeniu do źródeł ich pochodzenia.

Еще раз об истории показателей лично-числового спряжения в тюркских языках

Author(s): Anna Vladimirovna Dybo / Language(s): Russian Issue: 03 (26)/2017

The article makes an effort to trace the paradigmatic unification processes in the development history of the system of personal flections of primary predication in Turkic languages and dialects. This method allows to verify the Proto-Turkic reconstruction and reconstruct a number of intermediate states for this morphological subsystem. At the same time, it demonstrates some results of contact interaction in dialectal continua, which repeatedly appeared in Turkic territories.

Фонетические преобразования в позициях сандхи в тувинских аналитических конструкциях

Author(s): Iraida Jacovlevna Selyutina,Tatiana R. Ryzhikova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 03 (26)/2017

The article is devoted to the study of sound transformations occurring in the triple adverbial participle analytic constructions (AC) of the Tuvan language. The analysis of phonetic changes in the position of the sandhi — external (anlaut and auslaut) and internal (morphemic boundaries) allows to make conjectures about the processes of intra-language synthesis. The results of auditive observations revealed three classes of AC, which differ in location of the external pause between words, which plays an important role in the process of phonetic changes. The most frequent phonetic change in Tuvan AC in the positions of external and internal sandhi is the loss of the affix of the adverbial participle =(y)p reduction which occurs due to the loss of its informativity as a part of AC. In the cases where this affix is stored, it mostly performs the function of an interfix. Elimination in 1st class ACs (V1 + V2 + V3) of the pauses between words, which in other classes perform a delimitative function between the components of AC, indicates greater activity of the process of synthesis of components of triple complexes of the 1st class compared to AC-2 (V1 /=/ V2 + V3) and AC-3 (V1 + V2 /=/ V3 (+ L)) classes, where the phonetic transformation are at an initial stage. In the materials on Tuvan language presented in the article various stages of the process of morphological simplification are recorded. This process is the result of truncation of some part of a complex analytic form, which some Turkic languages have already experienced.
