Abstract:

The North West Caucasian Adyghe language provides ideal conditions for thestudy of language change because of the sociolinguistic history of itsspeakers and their contact with typologically and genetically differentlanguages. This study examines the socio-cultural and sociolinguisticfactors which determine dominance relations in Adyghe-Russian languagecontact in the Caucasus and Adyghe-Turkish language contact in Turkey inthe present century. The analysis is based on text material in the Abdzakhdialect of Adyghe, collected during fieldwork in Turkey (1979-1990) andAdygheya in the Caucasus (1990-1994).

In the comparisons of both contact situations, the focus is on thedescription of the linguistic features. The kind and extent of interferenceare dealt with on different levels of the Adyghe language. Lexicalinterference includes the borrowing of different parts of speech anddevices of integration in Adyghe. Structural interference includes changesin Adyghe phonology, morphology, and syntax due to foreign elements(Russian and Turkish, respectively).

After comparisons of the decisive social factors, the main part of thestudy closes with a tentative prognosis regarding the process of languagechange in the Abdzakh dialect and the Adyghe language in general in Turkeyand the Republik of Adygheya in the Caucasus.

The book consists of eight chapters with an appendix which includes theproposal of a Latin-Turkish based alphabet for Adyghe and a collection ofAbdzakh texts with a German translation.
