- 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.

- This handbook comprises an in-depth presentation of the state of the art in word-formation. The five volumes contain 207 articles written by leading international scholars. The XVI chapters of the handbook provide the reader, in both general articles and individual studies, with a wide variety of perspectives: word-formation as a linguistic discipline (history of science, theoretical concepts), units and processes in word-formation, rules and restrictions, semantics and pragmatics, foreign word-formation, language planning and purism, historical word-formation, word-formation in language acquisition and aphasia, word-formation and language use, tools in word-formation research. The final chapter comprises 74 portraits of word-formation in the individual languages of Europe and offers an innovative perspective. These portraits afford the first overview of this kind and will prove useful for future typological research. This handbook will provide an essential reference for both advanced students and researchers in word-formation and related fields within linguistics.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter represents the whole Northern Eurasian area, where Turkic languages are spoken in close contact with other Transeurasian languages, Mongolic and Tungusic. These three language families share signifi cant grammaticalization strategies and typological characteristics with each other as well as with Koreanic and Japonic. First, the distribution, classification, and some basic typological features of Turkic languages is briefly presented in comparison to other Transeurasian languages. The main focus will be on typically non-European grammaticalization processes that are representative for the whole family and recurring throughout the known history of Turkic. A detailed account of different grammaticalization strategies of so-called converb forms complements the treatment of similar processes in other Transeurasian languages that are otherwise less elaborated in this volume. This account will highlight grammaticalized categories of actional modification and viewpoint aspect typical of Turkic. Finally, some theoretically interesting issues such as the lack of formal marking resulting in systematic ambiguity is addressed.

On the linguistic distances between Gagauz and Karaim

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article deals with the genealogical, typological, and lexicostatistical distances between Gagauz and Karaim. The aim is to present linguistic data relevant for measuring linguistic distances. The article thus complements the theoretical approach outlined by Lars Johanson (2018) and published in this issue of Turkic Languages.
