CHAPTER 4 Iranian loanwords: Analysis

View through CrossRef
In this fourth chapter, I shall study the data collected in the preceding chapter from various angles. Four questions will be addressed (see §4.1): (i) which Iranian languages other than Bactrian were in contact with Niya Prakrit, and how do loanwords from these languages relate to the Bactrian borrowings (§4.2); (ii) how consistently were Bactrian sounds substituted in the corpus of loanwords, and what can this tell us about some debated issues in Bactrian phonology (§4.3); (iii) how were Bactrian borrowings integrated into the morphology of Niya Prakrit (§4.4); and (iv) which semantic categories can we identify among these loanwords (§4.5)? The conclusions will be presented in §4.6.
