商品簡介
Scholars of Turkish language and literature explore the empirical value of so-called transcription texts--Ottoman Turkish texts occasionally written in non-traditional non-Arabic scripts--and their importance for drawing conclusions about the history of spoken varieties. Their topics include the mediating role of the scribal profession in the preparation of petitions to the Imperial Council in Ottoman Istanbul, 19th-century Latin-script Turkish manuscripts from Bosnia and Herzegovina, labial harmony in Turkish suffixes in four 17th and 18th century transcription texts, polymorphic words in Parigi's Vocabolario Italiano-Tvrchesco and their correspondence in Turkish dialects, and syntactical features of the dialogue between a Turk and a Christian in the Grammatica turchesca of Pietro Ferraguto (1611). The 14 papers are from a workshop. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
