On an isogloss of the Eastern Turkish dialects

On Armenian loanwords in the Turkish dialects of Erzurum

Article on several syntactic characteristics of Gagauz complex sentences, which developed under the influence of the dominant Slavic languages.

Article on the influence of the Slavic languages Bulgarian and Russian on Gagauz, a Turkish dialect spoken in the Republic of Moldova, the Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Due to language-contact phenomena Gagauz shows significant deviations from Turkic patterns, most obvious on the syntactic level. In what follows, I will deal with a set of modal constructions expressing volition, necessity, ability and possibility. Expressions for volition and necessity are formed in Gagauz analytically using the same lexical and…[Read more]

This article aims to describe some types of adverbial clauses in the dialects of Erzurum.
For this purpose I have investigated published and unpublished material collected in the
region between 1966 and 1980. I concentrated on converb forms and clause patterns that
are unusual from the viewpoint of Standard Turkish. The converb forms are either…[Read more]

Grammaticalization of directional particle lái in Chinese.

The idea that prehistoric, megalith‐building communities used cylindrical, wooden rollers to transport enormous stones – the ‘roller hypothesis’ – is ubiquitous within archaeological literature and public discourse on megalithic architecture. The likelihood that such devices were actually used to transport megaliths during prehistory remains h…[Read more]

Study on the role played by material characterised by ‘western’ features in the late palatial and post palatial Aegean

In this paper, we present arguments for an analysis of indicating verbs, building on Liddell (2000), as a typologically unique, unimodal fusion of signs and pointing gestures used for reference tracking. This contrasts with many formalist analyses that assume that directionality in indicating verbs constitutes an agreement marking system. While…[Read more]

Whilst “The Problem with Linear B” (https://hcommons-staging.org/deposits/item/hc:20833/) focused on the physical or visual aspects of Linear objects, this paper mainly examines the secondary assumptions and arguments used to support the thesis that those objects are purely administrative.

A 5-page paper discussing the Linear signage and visual aspects of a Linear B tablet from Thebes, Greece, apparently discovered in the 1990s.

The book demonstrates the invalidity of existing assumptions about the administrative nature of Linear B (“Mycenaean Greek”) and related objects, proposes an alternative revolving around cult art, and explores similar evidence relating to scripts and art from the same and other regions and periods.
