Amongst them, there is a special\u0000 group of lexemes globally copied from Chinese first into the Old Uyghur literary\u0000 language which is documented in the texts written in various scripts from the\u0000 8th to the 14th centuries. Some of these global lexical copies were transmitted\u0000 to the next stages of Uyghur and are established in Modern Uyghur as part of its\u0000 lexicon. This paper discusses aspects of this special group of lexemes from the\u0000 four points, semantic reinterpretation, fusion in form and meaning, multiple\u0000 copying of the same lexeme, and additions to the lexicon. The aim is to\u0000 illustrate some important aspects of the historical Sino-Uyghur linguistic and\u0000 cultural contact reflected in these copies and to provide Uyghur examples to\u0000 understand aspects of diachronic development of copied lexemes in the recipient\u0000 language.","PeriodicalId":43608,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43002215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
