钦察源流考略

On the ethnic origin of Kipchak

钦察是古代欧亚草原上以游牧为主业的部族及部落联盟的名称。关于钦察的族源和词源问题国内外学界关注较多。由于钦察部族源的史料缺乏,而且有些历史记载相互矛盾,因此学者们的研究多趋于推理并各持己见。本文在前人研究的基础上,运用史籍记载和语言学方法,对钦察部族源流进行新的探讨,希望有助于问题的深化。

Kipchak is a name of a Turkic tribe or a tribe confederation in ancient and middle ages on the Eurasian steppe.Although many scholars have been discussed about the origin and etymology of the Kipchak,but some problems still have not been.solved yet,and some stereotyped opinions still have some scholars to make wrong decisions.Based on previous studies,the present paper attempts to discuss the ethnic origin of Kipchak combining historical records and linguistic analysis.
