Slavic borrowings in modern Turkish language

Abstract

This paper deals with Slavic borrowings in standard Turkish language Material for this paper was excerpted from the Dictionary of Turkish Standard Language (TDK Turküe Sozluk). Excerpted data which count just about 100 words were treated within lexical-semantic groups, also with pointing to certain inconsistencies in the lexicographic treatment: some words are not marked as Slavic (e.g. kumpir, som, pogrom); after some lexemes wrong etymon is stated (e.g. kopek) and some of them are left without an etymon (e.g. bocuk, gocuk).
