Özet:

The book examines partial interfixed reduplications in the standard Turkic languages.

Generally no longer productive, this type of redupli­cation served primarily to intensify adjectives and adverbs. The reduplicated anlaut was prepended to the the base, and a lexically determined conso­ nant inserted in between, e.g. Tksh. kara ‘black’ → ka.p.kara ‘jet-black’, Trkm. gūry ‘dry’ → gu.s.gūry ‘completely dry’.

Unlike most previous works, this book considers the phenomenon comparatively across twenty modern languages, is based on possibly complete collections of examples, and approaches the subject from a diachronic perspective, combining etymo­logical, historical-comparative, and quantitative methodology.
