《突厥语大词典》中的中古汉语借词

Ancient Chinese Loanwords in Divanu Lughat al-Turk

公元11世纪麻赫穆德·喀什噶里编著的《突厥语大词典》中有一批古代汉语借词。国内外前辈学者的著述中指出了其中的一部分,但少数词值得进一步探讨。本文还讨论了词典中的另一些汉语借词,它们往往具有中古汉语的语音特点或西北汉语方音的特点,而且有些词沿用至今并派生许多新词。

A number of Ancient Chinese loanwords have been identified in Divanu Lughat al-Turk, compiled in the 11th century by Mahmud Kashgari. The paper ftrst deals with some of the loanwords having been identified by previous scholars, but still worth further study. In the second part, it discusses other Chinese loanwords contained in the dictionary, most of which present phonological characteristics of either Ancient Chinese or Northwestern Chinese vernacular. Some of the loanwords identified in the second part still survive in modem Uyghur, together with their new words derived from them.
