- Éva Á. Csató, Lars Johanson and Birsel Karakoç eds. 2019. Ambiguous Verb Sequences in Transeurasian Languages and Beyond (Turcologica 120). Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz. i-vii, 1–342.Some sequences of verbs can display systematic ambiguities in meaning. Accent patterns are among the means for disambiguating them. The volume presents a comprehensive analysis of ambiguous verb sequences and ways of teasing them apart, an issue that has never before been addressed in the typological literature. It consists of seventeen contributions focusing on data from the Transeurasian languages Turkic, Japanese and Korean, and a Tungusic variety. The studies demonstrate strong typological similarities between these languages.The term “verb sequence” is used to refer to any contiguous sequence of two or more verbs. A structural ambiguity arises when two or more different readings can be assigned to the same sequence. For instance, a sequence of two verbs may be understood as two predicates describing consecutive events, or as a single predicate consisting of a lexical verb followed by an auxiliary verb. This latter type can display further ambiguity between actionality and viewpoint-aspect readings.The introductory chapter succinctly presents Lars Johanson’s theoretical framework and terminology, which are applied by the authors. Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald reviews verb sequences from a broad typological perspective. Martine Robbeets studies the coincidence of intraterminal and postterminal readings in certain converb constructions across the Transeurasian languages. Ten papers deal with Turkic varieties such as Turkish dialects, a Volga-Turkic variety of the 17th century, Kazakh, Yakut, Dolgan, Siberian Turkic, Noghay, Salar, and Uyghur. Complex predicates are analyzed in an endangered Tungusic variety, Uilta (Orok). One chapter deals with Korean, and another with Fukuoka Japanese. The final contribution, on Ladakhi (a Tibetic language), demonstrates the broader areal distribution of ambiguous verb sequences.The volume is based on presentations given at the 19th International Conference on Turkish Linguistics (ICTL), held August 17–19, 2018, at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan, which was the first conference of this kind in Central Asia.

Code copying and the strength of languages

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter deals with the stability – in terms of strength and weakness – of indigenous languages. It focuses on Turkic, with its incredibly manifold language contacts. Moving beyond ahistorical universalism, the linguistic study of contact languages should now direct its attention to the specific historical circumstances under which codes have arisen, changed, and vanished. Key determinative factors are whether copied items are ‘taken over’ or ‘carried over’, if their codes are superstrata, substrata, or adstrata, and whether they appear as primary codes or secondary codes.

On the grammaticalization of two types of "ki" in Turkic
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article outlines various grammaticalization paths of the two types of the Turkic particle ki: the modal particle ki and the copied junctor ki. The element ki has been employed in Turkic languages in all documented historical periods, serving various semantic and syntactic functions as particles and junctors, i.e., subjunctors, conjunctors or adjunctors. Typological studies often blur any distinctions between semantic and syntactic properties by giving priority to semantic/cognitive criteria, which are easily applicable in large-scale comparative studies, e.g., Cristofaro (2003). Cross-Turkic comparison of the grammaticalization of ki elements shows that structures sharing semantic/cognitive properties may be syntactically different. Ki plays a special role in high-copying Turkic varieties that have throughout replaced typical Turkic bound junctors by free junctors (Johanson 2000, 2002, 2010). Areal linguistic features have influenced the grammaticalization processes.

The Northwestern Turkic (Kipchak) languages

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter deals with the Northwestern (Kipchak) branch of the Turkic language family. Examples taken from this branch of Turkic illustrate phonological, morphological and syntactic features typical of Turkic languages. Reference is also made to special developments leading to the emergence of non-typical features in some Northwestern languages. Special emphasis is given to the description of the southern Kipchak language Kazakh in the middle of the Turkic speaking world and to the moribund western Kipchak language Lithuanian Karaim on its northwestern periphery. Moreover, the typical Turkic features are compared to the twenty core structures (CS) in Transeurasian languages evaluated in Robbeets (2017 and this volume).

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Encyclopedia of Turkic Languages and Linguistics is a unique and comprehensive reference work, offering a systematic treatment of the Turkic languages from Old Turkic to the languages and varieties spoken today. Written by renowned authorities in the field, the Encyclopedia provides authoritative information on all aspects of the languages, today and in the past, from many different angles, as well as on the way these languages have been studied. It offers a synthesis of the research in the field of Turkic linguistics and provides up-to-date bibliographical coverage. As such, it is the most important reference source for knowledge on Turkic languages.

Adjectives
- 2023

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The existence of a word class ‘adjective’ in Turkic is often questioned, since the morphological shape of adjectives is similar to that of nouns. Traditional grammars recognize the adjective as a word class on semantic basis as words describing properties and qualities, answering…
