WORDS OF TURKIC ORIGIN IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

Words borrowed from Turkic languages into Russian, Old Russian and Proto-Slavic languages in different historical periods. Through the Turkic languages, words of Arabic and Persian origin also got into Russian (as well as into Western European languages), which therefore have the linguistic status of Turkisms (for example, the owner or sofa, kiosk, halva borrowed from Western European languages). Turkisms are also called words of Turkic origin, regardless of the intermediary language. The bulk of borrowings falls on the period of the XVI-XVII centuries.

The article summarizes the results of one of the stages of the study of words of Turkic origin: the stage is based on the study of lexicographic sources, primarily the Dictionary of Foreign Words (1989). The sample of lexemes marked with Türk. made up 90 cards, the content of which was studied, which not only expanded the author's ideas about the reasons for the penetration of words of Turkic origin into the Russian language, but also made it possible, on the basis of the thematic principle, to identify the frequency of their use and create semantic characteristics. The basis of such an analysis was the scientific provisions of the article by L.P. Krysin “A foreign word in the context of modern social life”.
