The reflection of the Turkish influence in the rhymed reduplications of the Hungarian language

Abstract

Firstly, Ambrogio Calepino has noted the name of the rhymed reduplications as the typical structures of the Hungarian language in the XVI century. While learning the rhymed reduplications of the Hungarian language, we observed the similar phonetic traits peculiar for the languages belonging to the “Russian cultural zone” put forward by Russian linguist N.S.Trubetzkoy (1927). By making compares among the rhymed reduplications in the Hungarian, Russian and Asian languages, we discovered the common phonetic events related to the Turkic languages. The similarity of every phonetic groups ratify the existing of common areal influence in the formation of similar rhymed reduplications. The statistic datas of the Turkic structures and the analysis of the linguistic works demonstrate the influence of the Turkish language.
