An Analysis of Turkish Loanwords in Kurdish Language

2020-12
"The Kurds and the Region of the Euphrates Island" (History, Civilization, Language and Literature) Fourth International Conference
The borrowing of words between languages is a natural and non-holistic phenomenon. Historically, Kurdish and Turkish are considered to be two neighbouring languages. Therefore, these languages, for some reasons, have influenced one another. Because they are geographically close to each other, a mutual borrowing of words is evident and has occurred between the two languages. In this study, a number of words of Turkish origin that are used in Kurdish language will be analysed in light of some etymological sources of Turkish language. In other words, some words that are currently in use in Kurdish language but whose origin is Turkish, will be examined based on some reliable Turkish etymology sources, whereby examples and explanations will be written in Kurdish alphabet. For conducting this study, a descriptive-historical method will be used. The study focuses on whether these Turkish loans in Kurdish are phonologically articulated in the same way, or whether they are morphologically similar or whether they are semantically the same or not, i.e., whether they are used to express the same meaning in both languages or they are used express totally different meanings. Keywords: loanwords, analysis, borrowing, Kurdish language, Turkish language
